Inspiration

  • Event planning info is scattered across Slack, Notion, and docs
  • Volunteers often don’t know where to look or what changed
  • Organizers spend event day answering repetitive questions
  • Key insight: no single source of truth

What it does

  • Syncra turns scattered plans into one clear, volunteer-facing view
  • Shows each volunteer what to do, when to do it, and what changed
  • Keeps teams aligned without needing new complex tools

How we built it

  • AI extracts tasks from event docs and structures them
  • Backend processes and organizes responsibilities and updates
  • Simple mobile-friendly frontend for volunteers
  • Integrates with existing tools instead of replacing them

Challenges we ran into

  • Handling messy and inconsistent input from different sources
  • Ensuring accurate task extraction with AI
  • Balancing simplicity for volunteers with control for organizers

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a working end-to-end prototype within the hackathon timeframe
  • Successfully converted unstructured event plans into clear, actionable tasks using AI
  • Designed a simple, mobile-friendly interface that reduces volunteer confusion
  • Created an integration-first solution that works with existing tools instead of replacing them
  • Identified and validated a real pain point through user interviews

What we learned

  • Alignment depends on clarity, not just more information
  • Volunteers need fast, simple access to what matters
  • Reducing friction is key for adoption

What's next for Syncra

  • Improve real-time updates and notifications
  • Expand integrations with more tools
  • Make onboarding faster and more seamless
