Inspiration
I just like building stuff I'd actually use. As a student, I don't know how many times I've woken up at night forgetting a paper. Not saying this is going to entirely solve that problem but..
What it does
I do believe that this site makes it easier to quickly answer all common questions in a fraction of the time.
How we built it
The stack is as follows, Flask acts as a full stack web-server displaying both the HTML/CSS as well as passing credentials between client-side server-side applications. As for the applications used, Google Vision is used for OCR and Gemini 2.5 Flash for summarizing the content into easy to snippets and graphing with MatplotLib.
Challenges we ran into
Navigating Google Cloud Console for IAM administration roles can be a bit tricky but it only took around 30 minutes to get the application credentials running.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I haven't built an application this fast in my entire life. I know it's a very simple idea but it came to life within just a short few hours.
What we learned
Knowing what you want makes everything super simple.
What's next for SyllaScan
For it to be a profitable application, it would have to be good enough for people to justify a subscription. Features like a full-fledged calendar to manage assignments would be the goal. Also switch to Groq API, it's faster!
