Inspiration

As students, we end up signing up for so many different services to test stuff out or use software. Most of us don't really read through all the terms and conditions before signing up because we choose not to/ we're in a hurry to get to the software/we don't see the terms and conditions at all.

What it does

Meet T&C - Roulette of Risk that provides a helpful summary of the terms and conditions that the user is looking at, so they can quickly know the gist of what they're signing up for.

How we built it

To make it easily available to use, we decided to integrate our idea into a Chrome extension that simply requires users to input the terms. After much testing, we've chosen OpenAI's turbo-16k model to do the grunt work of summarizing the terms for users. This API is hosted on an AWS Lambda function.

Challenges we ran into

Because we were using an endpoint generated by AWS and not just any API, it took us a bit of hacking to figure all the tiny but important details that allow users to see the summary generated by the API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Who isn't put to sleep at the thought of over 19 pages of jargon? We're proud of developing a small platform that allows users to quickly understand what they're looking at in simpler terms. This extension would also makes these terms and conditions accessible to people with attention deficiency.
