Inspiration
epal.gg, a website for gamers which allows people to find a friend, for a price
What it does
Utile allows its users to view tutors who advertise themselves there. Every tutor has a listed subject that they are proficient in in addition to their contact info (email). Users can choose to contact the tutors directly for one-on-one tutoring. They may also apply to become a tutor, filling out a form which sends an email to the owner of the site. The site also has signup/login functionality and the ability to talk with an integrated AI chatbot. A discord link is provided at the top right for those who want to interact with the community or developers.
How we built it
This project utilizes React to provide a seamless user experience. The styled-components package is used for most elements. Tutor and user information are stored in MongoDB Atlas.
Challenges we ran into
Learning to use the MongoDB API was challenging, as we haven't had much experience with either Mongo or React. Integrating the two proved to be especially hard.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Proud of our login/signup functionality; it took a while to figure those out
What we learned
Using mongodb, react
What's next for Utile
A review system, a pricing/payment system, and perhaps autoagent persona training for the AI model
