This project did not submit a demo video on Devpost.

Inspiration

Our inspiration for making this web application was continuously failing to do well in comprehending articles that were written in tough English.

What it does

Our tool takes an article that a teacher would upload onto our site and allow students to highlight snippets they don't understand and get a summary through the API calls of Vectara

How we built it

We built it with a ReactJS frontend and an ExpressJS backend, and host it locally on our machines. We hold user data in a MongoDB Atlas Database.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges of trying to deploy in Cloudflare pages. We ended up dropping this idea since we were only able to run the frontend in Cloudflare and were unable to figure out how to get the worker to host the backend of the full stack project.

Accomplishments we're proud of

We are proud of being able to incorporate a Generative AI into our project and in addition using our first hackathon as an opportunity to try technologies outside of our comfort zone

What we learned

We learned to try to make a bare minimum number of specifications that could be achievable. At first we were overambitious and as a result we spent a lot of time in trying to setup our environment rather than trying to perfect features.

What's next

Our next step is to provide a more available project by hosting in a cloud environment and in addition developing separate portals for student and teacher roles.

Metric

Figures cover GitHub contributors during the hackathon window. A co-authored commit counts in full for each author, so per-member totals add up to more than the whole-team figures.

5 of 6 appear in the indexed code. 1 claimed on Devpost could not be matched to code, which may simply mean the tool leaves no trace in the repository.

AI coding agents

No AI coding agent signals were found in this repository.

Detected from committed agent config files and commit authorship. Absence of a signal is not proof an agent was unused.
