Inspiration

Growing up in environments with limited access to technology and opportunities, many of us experienced firsthand how frustrating it can be to have impactful ideas but lack the technical expertise, funding, or time to bring them to life. This issue is particularly pressing for women in Africa and beyond, where the gender digital divide continues to widen, keeping many from participating fully in the tech sector and AI revolution even with over 40% of SME’s being owned and run by women

What it does

Prometheus is a WhatsApp-based AI chatbot that enables small business owners, especially women, to create and manage fully functional websites in under 40 seconds using simple text commands. Eventually they'll be able to build chatbots, manage the websites all through text commands

How we built it

Prometheus right now uses LLama 3.2 to parse the text commands, understand what the users are trying to build, get relevant images, and research from the web, then writes the code and deploy

Challenges we ran into

Llama 3.2 is not as advanced as open ai's API but open AI is paid and we can't afford that right now, So we had to train LLama on what a good website looks like, also training it on how to parse the statements passed into it

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully made it work, Prometheus can build and deploy a full website under 40 seconds

What we learned

We learned a lot when it came to user research, figuring out what the problems themselves where, having empathy for our sers and putting aside our preconceived notions

What's next for Prometheus

A lot of the data this open source platforms are trained on are not diversified, so training the AI to build better websites, getter better media, and ranching out to managing the websites, building chatbots
