Inspiration

Current Budget Tracking Apps could provide more features to help users manage their finances in one place. Having everything in one place will encourage users to do tasks they don't want to do but will definitely help them on the long run.

What it does

Features Include:

• Purchase History / Budget Accountability
• Receipt Scanner
• Trip Planner
• Recipe Ingredient Search

How we built it

Frontend: We used a Next.js environment with React and Typescript.

Backend: Python that calls the Gemini API

Challenges we ran into

Both of us are new to connecting a backend to a frontend, so our biggest issues came from handling requests.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of what we accomplished in the span of 24-hours. Our application features worked exactly as expected and we learned the value of good planning and communication.

What we learned

This is my first time working with AI and I can already see the possible implementations for future projects.

What's next for Penny Pilot

We plan to enhance the app by allowing the scanner to scan grocery items as well, improving the trip planner, adding alerts when items in the shopping cart are on sale nearby, and adding more financial management features.
