Inspiration

As a team that uses Notion for organization, we often find ourselves spending time manually creating summary pages for each course. We were looking for a way to automate this process to save time during the busy first week of classes.

What it does

This app aims to use AI to summarize the syllabi into essential dates and then import the page directly into your Notion account.

How we built it

We use Gemini AI to parse the syllabus, and then our custom code fills in the templates that we created, before the final file is imported into Notion.

Challenges we ran into

Notion formatting and syntax is complicated. Trying to import a mis-formatted file would lead to errors. We resolved this by exporting a template we built in notion with placeholder text. Then our app fills in the placeholder text, and this process ensures that it can be successfully imported into Notion.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Integrating the tool with Notion

What we learned

Notion API, python

What's next for Syllaboss

We hope to improve on the templates, and possibly allow users to upload their own templates.
