What it does

Voice-based personal scientific assistant that adds a new dimension to obtaining information.

How we built it

Python files that generate JSON files with scientists ranked in order with a ranking algorithm.

AWS Lambdas servers were down all last night.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Alexa dramatically speeds up the time spent on Google searches.

What we learned

The cloud isn't always reliable.
