Blessed
Inspiration The inspiration for our project comes from a statistic: "Nearly 80 percent of travelers are willing to pay at least 10 percent more for sustainable travel options". We realized that if we just gamified and automated the whole sustainability process for traveling we can lower the the fact that 26% of carbon emissions come from the transport sector.
What it does The app monitors users’ transportation choices and dining habits, calculates a weekly sustainability score, and converts it into redeemable rewards like gift cards.
How we built it We built it using Typescript, Firebase and vite. It allowed for it to be made into a web app.
Challenges we ran into The biggest challenge was brainstorming a unique idea. We also faced significant difficulties working with the Google Maps APIs and Gemini APIs, along with the overall integration process, which proved to be quite demanding.
Accomplishments that we're proud of Some accomplishments that we are proud of are getting the UI down. We worked hard on making sure that the UI and UX was well made and easy to use.
What we learned We learnt a lot about API and how to try and brainstorm creative ideas that can't just be done by GPT. We also learnt about to think the problem from different perspective when coming up with a business model.
What's next for Blessed Turning it into a mobile app is the next thing for blessed. We also need to make it work with a ML model that we trained which would be the final puzzle piece for the project to be put in front of consumers for advertising.
