Inspiration

We've all been there. You get a "k" back after a paragraph and suddenly you're analysing punctuation at midnight. Your friends say you're fine. Your gut says you're cooked. We just wanted someone to tell us the truth.

What it does

  1. Paste your texts or upload a screenshot of the conversation
  2. AI reads it and counts the actual red flags and green flags present
  3. You get a score from 0–100, a tier from Raw 🥩 to CHARCOAL 💀, and a personalised savage two-sentence verdict
  4. Your result gets added to the leaderboard so your friends can see how cooked you are
  5. They can comment. It will not be kind.

How we built it

Frontend is a mobile web app — HTML, CSS, vanilla JS. The backend is a Node.js server that talks to GPT-4o, which can read both typed text and actual screenshots. We wrote a grading prompt that tells the AI exactly what to look for — eight red flag signals, eight green flag signals — so the score isn't just vibes, it's based on something real. Different GIFs load depending on your tier.

Challenges we ran into

We're three UX students. We had never set up a backend, never used Git as a team, and definitely never tried to explain a dating grading rubric to an AI. All of that happened at the same time, over a weekend. There was a lot of Googling. There were merge conflicts. The API did not cooperate immediately.

Accomplishments we're proud of

The idea clicked instantly — "how cooked are you" is something everyone understands without explanation. And the design actually looks like something we'd want to use. Dark theme, red accents, the tier names, the confetti when your result drops — it has personality. We're three designers who shipped a working full-stack app in a weekend. That still feels a little unreal.

What we learned

AI tools can get you surprisingly far, but the moment something breaks you need to actually understand what's happening. Prompt engineering is genuinely a skill. And Git is terrifying until the day it suddenly makes sense.

What's next for SheSaidK

We want to turn it into a real native app. Add notifications so you find out the second someone in your friend group gets a new score. Build in proper guidelines so the comment section stays fun and doesn't get mean. And show users which flags actually triggered their result.
