Inspiration

I always find it difficult to speak under pressure or stress when I speak online during a call or a meeting, I noticed that the world leaders deliver speeches seamlessly using an expensive teleprompter placed strategically, this idea struck my mind, why can't I use my laptop as a teleprompter that is when we decided to use chrome for this.

What it does

It is a chrome extension using which you can put any prompt that you are planning to speak about or discuss about, then using the chrome inbuilt Prompt AI it will locally run the AI model and populate the teleprompter with the required information, which we can edit or translate it into many languages using Translator API which is also local. So to deliver a speech we just need to set the size and speed, then press start, now you will look wiser and more confident as you have teleprompter to assist you, you can even control it with your mouse scrolling too. Since inbuilt API is used there is no conerns about data privacy too.

How we built it

We are IT software professionals working in real estate firm and one of the big 4. We have experience in ETL, dashboarding and have some knowledge of Python and basic programming languages. With some help from ChatGPT we were able to troubleshoot most of the challenges.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up the model was bigger challenge for us, as I understood late that my laptop C drive was running out of space and freeing 22 GB to install the model took some decent amount of time before I could figure it out. We understood that Chrome AI API is accessible within the extension's UI Contexts like popups, when the extension popup is closed, Javascript execution context is destroyed and it doesn't work from background script like in the other extension this was major limitation and we have communicated this in feedback.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We got to learn many things, if not this challenge we would not have explored or taken the trouble of exploring the inbuilt AI, now we can imagine building many things with it. At a personal level also this extension will be very useful for us, so we have published it in chromestore too. So it will definitely benefit other users too.

What we learned

We have developed a found interest for some programming as we came from ETL and dashboard skillset mainly which is our core skillset, so this is a big accomplishment for us

What's next for TeleAI

We have made a submission to chrome store which is in pending stage, hopefully will get approved soon by end of our submission. If we win the challenge we use the funds to built many more such extensions mostly and start a business out of it, this was a great beginning and great learning exercise and we are grateful for Devpost and Google for organizing this.
