Inspiration

As we move toward an increasingly AI-driven world, it's essential to embrace technology that enhances our productivity. I was inspired to create an AI-powered writing platform to help writers streamline their process, freeing up time and energy to focus on creativity, voice, and meaningful storytelling rather than getting stuck on structure or routine tasks.

What it does

Key features for our website include sentence auto completion, sentence generation, document storage + sharing, and evidence usage sugestions.

How I built it

We use cognito for account creation and management, identity pools for AWS resource permissions, S3 for temporary file storage, Lambda for file processing + Database manipulation + OpenAI API calls, DynamoDB for file metadata and Slate json, Pinecone for vector storage, GPT for generation, OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large model for embedding. The front end incorpoarates Next.js along with Slate.js for text editing, all hosted on Vercel.

Challenges I ran into

Some challenges included infrastructure changes mid development due to feature implementations and bug searching on Vercel while local deployments functioned properly.
