Inspiration
We live in a chaotic day-to-day life. So many stressful things happen around us, and we consume a lot of disturbing information from various sources. I wanted to create a magical 'one-click' experience to provide helpful information that could become a daily habit for starting the day.
What it does
The user opens the extension, clicks a button, and receives a simple exercise to relax, an inspirational quote, a productivity tip, and a fun fact. Additionally, the user can click on information they like, and it will be copied to the clipboard, making it easy to share with friends.
How I built it
- Checked the Chrome Built-In AI documentation
- Made research on mindfulness and explored activities people can do to relax and focus on work
- Created a paper prototype of the desired flow
- Checked Chrome Extension documentation
- Set up a GitHub repository
- Enabled all necessary flags in Chrome Canary
- Wrote the code with using Prompt API
- Generated all icons and pictures using AI in Microsoft Paint
- Tested everything in Chrome Canary
Challenges I ran into
- Output format. I didn't find a way to get error-free output in JSON format
- Prompt API usually gave me the same information. More than 50% of the inspirational quotes were from Steve Jobs, or I received the same productivity tip repeatedly
- Complex prompts also lead to errors, usually with a "not supported language" message
- Not possible to connect the Chrome Extension to "Google Keep". I wanted to provide an option to save results as notes
Accomplishments that I am proud of
- Created my first Chrome Extension
- Nice visuals in project
What I learned
- Learned a lot about current state of AI in web
- Built-In AI is a future
What's next for Mindful Corgi Companion
- When the built-in AI is widely available, I may publish the extension
