StarAI

Inspiration

We want to empower small business owners to leverage AI capabilities, to derive business insights that will help them increase their sales and ultimately grow their business. Democratizing access to data analysis through AI.

What it does

We provide a vocal interface for business owners to ask relevant questions about their receipts data. For instance:

"How many sandwiches have I sold this month ?" "What is my most profitable item on the menu?" "What do you recommend I do to increase my sales"

How we built it

We used bash scripting to sort and organize the data we were given, and Python to parse out relevant information such as Total Amounts, Date/Time, and Ordered items. We used the Whisper API to convert user speech to text and fed our model their question with the data to analyze. Once we receive a response from the model, we use Whisper again to convert the text into speech, and play it out loud through the speakers.

Challenges we ran into

The hardest part to organizing the data and parsing out the relevant information. We needed to make sure that the data we fed to our model was as concise and relevant as possible to fit the context window.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were astonished at our ability to come up with a proof of concept for this idea under 24 hours. We are confident that given more time, we could ship a revolutionary product.
