Oasis

Inspiration

Anyone who's ever tried to search for an eco-friendly product knows it's hard. It requires looking through websites upon websites, and deciding whether to trust shaky "sustainability" claims or not.

What it does

Oasis gives each product on a store page an environmental score by parsing a page, and sending metadata to Gemini.

How we built it

Frontend was vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS while the backend was through FastAPI. These were connected by Railway.

Challenges we ran into

First, using railway to connect the frontend and backend. Then, fine tuning prompts to make sure Gemini was giving truthful and succinct output.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Making a Chrome extension, figuring out how to deal with Railway, and for one of us, submitting our first hackathon project!

What we learned

No one on the team had ever created a Chrome extension.

What's next for Oasis

At this point, it's about fine-tuning Gemini's outputs. Adding a feature for Gemini itself to propose products which are better for the environment.
