Inspiration

In today’s fast-paced world, managing the flood of emails, tasks, and reminders can be overwhelming, often leading to missed deadlines and disorganization. We created SummAIze to simplify productivity by harnessing the power of Gemini AI. As the NPO's needs are an effective digital PA system, we aimed to focus on this area to help the NPO combat this issue.

What it does

SummAIze streamlines task management by connecting to your email account, securely fetching emails, and using Gemini AI to summarize them into concise, actionable points. It identifies deadlines, tasks, and key details, automatically creating and organizing them into a calendar or task list.

Beyond emails, SummAIze transforms any text, like meeting notes, into prioritized tasks with assigned deadlines. With a user-friendly dashboard, you can easily view, track, and manage your progress. By integrating with popular productivity tools, SummAIze automates the organizational process, saving time and making task management effortless.

How we built it

We started off by brainstorming key features for a digital personal assistant from an admin's perspective. With clearer directions, we adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy, selecting technologies that are relevant, scalable, and easy to integrate, such as React and Supabase. Along the way, we refined and realigned our features multiple times to ensure the best user experience. Lastly, we leveraged powerful APIs like Nylas and Google Gemini to enhance our application's capabilities.

Challenges we ran into

This was our first time integrating an AI language model into a project, which presented both challenges and opportunities. We encountered difficulties in fine-tuning the models to meet our specific requirements, which required us to delve into their underlying mechanics and optimization techniques. At the same time, we gained a deeper appreciation for the capabilities of AI.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

In just a week, we successfully achieved extensive AI integration within our system while also optimizing the user experience. We accomplished this by working collaboratively and strategically.

What we learned

We gained valuable experience integrating and fine-tuning AI, as well as working with other powerful technologies such as the Nylas API. More importantly, we learned to be able to develop products under strict time constraints, which pushed us to adapt quickly and prioritize efficiency and collaboration.

What's next for SummAIze

We plan to expand our features by integrating more email providers, enabling automatic task additions to calendars, creating recurring tasks and events, and introducing priority-level tags for tasks. These ideas have been further detailed in the README file available on our project's GitHub page.
