Inspiration

I was tired of endlessly Googling how to maintain things in my home — from fridges to shower drains. Every search brought me blog posts, ads, and vague answers when I just wanted clear, practical advice.

That’s when I thought:
Why not build a tool that gives me instant, actionable maintenance tips — no noise, no clutter?

And that’s how Shiva was born.

What it does

Shiva is a responsive, AI-powered web app that helps you:

• Get maintenance tips for any household item in seconds
• See how often to maintain it, what actions to take, and which products to use
• Add a maintenance reminder directly to your calendar
• Use it in either English or French

Whether it's your fridge, your parquet floor, or your bathroom sink — Shiva gives you clean, structured advice instantly.

How I built it

Shiva was built using Bolt, an AI tool that turns natural language prompts into full-stack applications. With a single well-crafted prompt, I generated the all website :

• A minimalist, multilingual landing page
• A user input field to describe the item to maintain
• A secure backend call to an API that wraps an AI model, which returns structured maintenance advice
• A calendar integration feature to let users plan their cleaning tasks

All in just a few hours — from idea to working product.

Challenges I ran into

• Crafting a prompt that consistently produces structured, high-quality responses
• Designing a clean interface that works seamlessly in two languages
• Making the calendar integration useful and human-readable
• Ensuring fast and secure API communication behind the scenes

Accomplishments that I am proud of

• Turned a personal pain point into a real, usable tool
• Launched a fully functional, multilingual app in under a hour
• Integrated AI-driven logic with practical UX
• Kept everything lightweight and responsive

What I learned

• A single, precise prompt can replace an entire product spec
• Bolt dramatically reduces the time from idea to MVP
• Even small tools can solve real-world problems if built clearly
• Multilingual support is crucial for everyday utility

What's next for Shiva

• Add voice input for hands-free usage
• Introduce image-based item recognition
• Support recurring calendar reminders
• Let users save favorite maintenance routines
• Build a mobile app version for even quicker access

Shiva started with a simple question — and became a smart solution.
All it took was one prompt.
