Inspiration

Originally we had wanted to have an AI powered study buddy application to help pilots study FAA regulations. However, we quickly ran into problems with accessing the FAA regulations API to gain access to the thousands of regulations. So, we pivoted to a more generic Government Regulations application to search and summarize regulations.

What it does

It allows you to search for regulations of a certain type, summarize a given regulation, and also ask additional questions about the regulation which is powered by Gemini.

How we built it

Using a variety of AI tools, namely Claude, OpenAI, and Google AI Studio we quickly were able to develop this application.

Challenges we ran into

Random bugs, version control, and other typical hiccups in a scenario like this were present.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning about generative AI API usage was awesome and having a robust summary feature all powered through said API is great.

What we learned

Overall learning related to Google AI Studio, Google Gemini API, and overall full stack workflows.

What's next for Regulations.gov Assistant

If we can gain access to the FAA regulation API, I would love to pivot back to that while keeping some of the current functionality, but making it more fine tuned.
