## Inspiration
As a student, I struggled to stay consistent with daily habits like drinking water, praying, and studying. I saw many friends also face the same problem - we start habits but quit after 2-3 days. I wanted to build something simple that keeps me accountable and motivates me daily. That’s how Motivo was born.
What it does
Motivo is an AI-powered habit tracker for students.
- Track daily habits: Water, Prayer, Study, Exercise
- Maintain streaks to build consistency
- See weekly progress with clean charts
- Get AI-generated motivational quotes every day using Gemini API to stay inspired
How we built it
- Frontend: Flutter for cross-platform mobile app
- Backend: Firebase for authentication and database
- AI: Google Gemini API for generating personalized motivational quotes
- Analytics: Built-in charts to visualize weekly progress
The app was built in 3 weeks. First we designed the UI, then connected Firebase, and finally integrated Gemini API for the AI feature.
Challenges I faced
- API Integration: Connecting Gemini API for the first time was tricky. Had to handle rate limits and prompt engineering.
- UI for Beginners: Making the app simple enough for first-time users while keeping it useful.
- Time Management: Balancing college and building this project during the hackathon.
What I learned
- How to use AI APIs in real applications
- Firebase authentication and database management
- The importance of simple UX for habit-forming apps
- Building and deploying a full-stack app under deadline
Motivo proves that small daily actions + AI motivation = big results. we ran into
