Inspiration

Our lack of ideas during the hackathon inspired us.

What it does

Generates hackathon project ideas based on parameters that you can change.

How we built it

The project ideas are generated by OpenAI's Davinci model. The front-end is written using React and Material UI.

Challenges we ran into

Since our project was front-end heavy, most of our challenges included making sure things looked and acted the way they were supposed to and making sure we were displaying data generated by the model elegantly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have built a fully functioning front-end that interacts with the API to produce meaningful project ideas all within the span of 24 hours.

What we learned

Since our project relied heavily on OpenAI's API, a lot of experimenting was done to fine-tune the prompt that we send to the API to ensure the results outputted were what we wanted. This was especially important for the Resources section for each project. Furthermore, since none of us were experts in front-end, a lot of trial and error and deep dives into documentation was required to build it out.

What's next for HackAss

We want to include other useful filters and have an option for users to create their own filters and receive ideas.
