Our Inspiration

We wanted to create a program that can be used by many. Our inspiration came from retro styled video games such as Omori, Stardew Valley, Undertale, and Pokémon. In terms of the format, we took inspiration from the steam game “Desktop Mate”.

What does it do?

Essentially, it is a personalized study bot that helps people to stay focused and incentivize them to push through with their studying. It works by inputting a course that you are currently taking, then inputting the units you are going to study. Every 25 minutes it takes from Google Gemini which outputs a question to quiz you on, you will have 5 minutes to answer this question.

How we built it

Using multiple different Python GUI tools, we interfaced with Google Gemini in a user-friendly way. Said GUI tools include TeXlive, PyQt6, and tkinter, while the Google Gemini model was their 2.5-flash.

Challenges we ran into

We realized that the GUI tools that we used were mostly incompatible, but only after we had created multiple different initializations of each one. We had to cut certain functions off, and the ones that were left barely retained their functionality.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As this was our first hackathon we learned to have a smoother workflow as a team and in terms of technical aspects, we learned how to use python as well as GUI tools such as pyqt and tkinter.
