Inspiration

With millions of websites online, too many suffer from low visibility, SEO missteps, and surface-level security risks and most owners don't even know it.
We personally ran into this while building our own site, Veridian. Despite its functionality, it wasn’t performing due to silent SEO and credibility issues that weren’t visible to the naked eye.

That pain point sparked VULKAN. We envisioned an AI-powered tool that could audit any website instantly no login, no download, no ownership required. Just paste a URL, and VULKAN surfaces insights that are clear, actionable, and fast powered by Gemini 3.

What it does

VULKAN is a website intelligence layer. Paste in any public URL, and you get:

• SEO structure & metadata audit
  
• Trust and credibility signal analysis
  
• Surface-level security warnings
  
• Gemini 3-powered suggestions on how to fix them

It’s fast, honest, and built for everyday creators — not just engineers.

How we built it

• Frontend: React Native (Expo) + animated navigation flow
  
• AI Backend: Gemini 3 via Replicate API, with custom prompt design
  
• Audit Engine: HTML/JS/CSS fetching via proxy, cleaned ,structured , sent to Gemini
  
• Demo Output: Live chat response + debug console view
  
• UI: Mission driven layout (choose between “Component Forge” and “Holistic Site Auditor”)

Challenges we ran into

• Prompt tuning Gemini to understand HTML context and audit it usefully
  
• Getting around CORS and scraping restrictions for preview pages
  
• Designing a clear, fast UX for both mobile and web
  
• Time-boxing AI responses to keep the demo under 3 seconds

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Built two distinct mission flows (code refactor and URL audit) in a single interface
  
• Made Gemini 3 work on real-world websites with noisy, inconsistent DOMs
  
• Delivered fast, clean UX with no login, no loading spinners
  
• Demoed on our own site, Veridian, and improved it in real time

What we learned

• Prompt engineering is critical when using Gemini for structured reasoning
  
• Good design gets used our team and friends kept testing VULKAN beyond development
  
• Site owners appreciate clarity over technical jargon which Gemini handled well when guided
