Inspiration: AuxiHelper was inspired by the need to quickly and reliably find skilled service providers for everyday problems like repairs and maintenance, eliminating the hassle of searching through unreliable options. Helps local businesses find customers and helps people in need find good and reliable helping hands.
What it does: AuxiHelper connects users with verified service providers based on their needs, offering a seamless platform to submit requests, upload images, and view ranked providers by ratings and location.
How we built it: We used HTML/CSS, JS for the frontend, Flask for the backend API, and MongoDB for storing user data and service provider profiles. We also used Google Cloud Vision API and Cohere API for backend stuff. File uploads and image previews were integrated for a better user experience.
Challenges we ran into: We faced challenges with integrating file uploads, structuring the database efficiently, and ensuring seamless communication between the frontend and backend under time constraints.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We delivered a user-friendly interface, robust backend, and fully functional file upload feature, all within a limited timeframe, showcasing great team collaboration.
What we learned: We learned effective frontend-backend integration, database design with MongoDB, and the importance of user-centric design and time management.
What's next for AuxiHelper: We plan to add features like real-time chat, a mobile app, AI-based provider recommendations, and secure payment integration for end-to-end transactions.
