Inspiration
Our inspiration stems from the realization that school timetables and learning management systems like Canvas fall short in terms of usability, particularly for task management and scheduling. Therefore, we envisioned an automation tool designed not only to streamline school-related tasks but also to enhance the efficiency of daily routines across the board. This concept led to the creation of a solution that simplifies and optimizes task management and time organization, making every day more productive and less chaotic.
What it does
Autom8 is your go-to tool for easy life automation, connecting with Google Drive, Slack, Discord, and Notion for effortless task management. Its user-friendly design and customizable options boost productivity by streamlining your daily tasks.
How we built it
We started from scratch with a team of five, splitting our efforts between front-end and back-end development, and finally merging everything together on the last day. For the front-end, we primarily used Next.js and TypeScript to implement UI components like Aceternity and Shadcn. On the back-end, we employed ngrok, Clerk, and Neon-Tech to connect to the database and implement automated workflows.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest challenge was that we are all first-year students with limited understanding of both front-end and back-end development, having never really participated in a real project, especially one started from scratch.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created a beautiful, dynamic, and interactive website, connected to the database, and implemented basic automation features as beginners.
What we learned
We truly learned a lot, gaining an understanding of everything from the basics to advanced languages and frameworks in just one week, and we gained real experience in participating in a project, as well as insights into teamwork and teamwork management.
What's next for Auto-m8
We aim to transform a student project completed during a hackathon into a genuinely usable tool.
