Picto Insurance

Inspiration

We wanted to do something unconventional that still represents a technologically viable product

What it does

This project simplifies the submission of insurance claims

How we built it

Docker We used generative AI predominantly for the Frontend visuals

Frontend:

• React + typescript
• Vite
• Tailwind & Daisy
• React-konva

Backend:

• FastAPI
• SQLAlchemy + PostgreSQL
• EasyOCR with OpenCV
• Pillow
• Google-genai

Challenges we ran into

• Gemini API
• DNS Problems
• Merging
• Dependencies
• Nix
• Formatter
• Docker images taking 30 minutes to build

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We developed a module that was able to locate and crop faces, and even rotate them to be level. We didn't end up using this, however we would have, were it not complication with the gemini. The code is there, but without the gemini API, it had no use, leading to us having to fall back to placeholders.

What we learned

• You need to prepare in advance
• Review tools in advance
• Standardise naming
• Standardise tool chains
• Learned loads about web development and APIs

What's next for Picto Insurance

More sophisticated report generation and turning it into a full insurance portal

Finishing the facial generation system would also be very fun, despite it probably not being the main business focus,.
