Inspiration

The popularity in the use of Chat-GPT3 and the vast information it provides wanted us to make our own sort of algorithm to help provide answers for students in Cupertino High School.

What it does

Tino-GPT provides specific CHS related information for courses, athletics, asb, and much more. Click on the specific subject that you have a question on, and it will return an answer related to tino. This can be any sort of homework problems (however, will not provide the answer), the difficulty of a class, the teachers for that certain course, and any sort of tips and tricks from past students. In addition, to help students study for their classes, we created a Cupertino Cafe Simulator

How we built it

The main environments used were repl.it to create the pages of our website and google colab for creation of our machine learning model. As of right now, we generated our own custom dataset regarding questions on AP Statistics that students are likely to ask. This was created on Google Spreadsheets and downloaded as a csv file.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulty figuring out how to link the machine learning model to our html page at first, but realized that the packages aren't automatically installed for python ml libraries. However, even after this, the model and the website are quite separated and must be linked in an obscure manner. In addition, the dataset to train our model must be unique for CHS students, so it took quite a while to generate a good portion of questions to get an optimal output. Furthermore, the creation of the search bar was a daunting task, and it was tricky to connect the input of the bar to the model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Overall, being able to go to an in-person hackathon was an accomplishment itself as many hackathons moved to online for quite some time. It was a fun and new experience. As for our project, we were extremely proud in being able to create our own website as we don't have much experience around web development, and learned a lot with html and css.

What we learned

Overall, this hackathon was a really fun experience. We learned a lot more about web development, creating stronger bonds, and adding new bits and pieces for students to enjoy using our web application.

What's next for Tino-GPT

We plan on using flask and more python to refine our application. In addition, we would lie to add in previous student's own inputs on the courses and sports they took to provide a constant up to date output for CHS students.
