Inspiration
After discussing our app needs, we all agreed on the importance of having a platform that provides detailed explanations instead of just answers for our homework. Some might suggest going to a tutor, but many of us study at night or have conflicting schedules. Therefore, it would be great to have an app or website to give detailed explanations. While the internet can be helpful, it doesn't always provide the explanation we need, and sometimes it's not free of cost. Most of the time, students copy the work without actually understanding it.
What it does
Our project initially asks the user to enter their question which can be like, "I am stuck with my math homework with this part, I would like to get some explanation on my mistakes". This will prompt them to upload their work. Once the work is uploaded, the question from the search bar and the uploaded file will be entered in Chat-GPT as a text file as most students don't have access to the paid version of Chat-GPT. Chat-GPT will read this file and give a detailed explanation, which will be entered back into our website's answer box where the student can access it.
How we built it
We split the work into 2 groups: the front end and the back end. Front-end worked on designing the webpage while the back end worked on how to convert a PDF file into a text file and how to connect Chat-GPT to our website using JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
Connecting front end and back end and accessing Chat-GPT through APIs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is our first Hackathon and we worked on something so massive known as AI. We were able to make it work and we are proud of our work.
What we learned
We learned that the text file that we converted from a PDF is readable by Chat-GPT and gives results with high accuracy.
What's next for Wisdom Wingman
We want the website to connect with University portals such as Canvas, which can contribute to the funding required for the working of the website.
