Whole Lotta Stonks

Whole Lotta Stocks is where Wall Street and Instagram reels meets Whole Lotta Red. We translate complex stock market information into Playboi Carti-dubbed summaries: short and drippy.

Comment

Inspiration

We watch lots of reels everyday trying to be entertained. Why no utilize a similar format but for stocks? Even better why not add everyday aura in the form of Playboi Carti as he narrates to you about said stock?

What it does

You can scroll on new stocks, where Playboi Carti will then tell you more about the stock, its historical prices, P/E ratio and much. You can also listen as he tell you more about recent news with the company and much.

How we built it

We built a content generation platform utilizing Python, Google Gemini, ElevenLabs and alpha vantage api to generate Carti dubs of stock information while recording other data for the frontend (ios device) to render.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into were being rate limited by the stock api which made it harder for us to generate content. Also setting up and debugging react native and expo was difficult for us but we managed to figure it out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of having code a react native project has tiktok like features to it while also being able to render stock data and news articles. At the same time we are proud of learning to use api's and developing a program/pipeline to automate the generation of new content if needed for the platform.

What we learned

We learned React Native and Expo while also learning how better utilize api's and other tools to build out this project

What's next for Whole Lotta Stonks

We would like to add mock investments and commenting so peers can feel connected as the learn more about stocks through the voice of Playboi Carti.
