Inspiration

The spark for Birthday Genie came from a real 'oops' moment – one of our teammates forgot his girlfriend's birthday and, well, let's just say he had to make some serious amends and couldn't join us for the hackathon. That got us thinking: what if there was a way to make sure no one ever misses a birthday again? And not just remember it, but celebrate it in a really cool, personalized way? That's how Birthday Genie was born – out of a forgetful moment that we turned into a fun, tech-savvy solution.

What it does

Birthday Genie is like your behind-the-scenes birthday wizard. It quietly sneaks into your calendar, spots upcoming birthdays, and then works its magic. Using some clever AI, it picks out gifts that are spot-on for each person. And it doesn't stop there – it orders the gift and even sends out a personalized, cheerful voice message. It's like having a birthday party planner in your pocket!

How we built it

We built birthday genie with Multion for getting the birthday content from calendars and pulls those friends details from Facebook and come up with a creative gift using GPT4V and used OpenAI TTS for creating a personalized voice message as well

Challenges we ran into

Getting GPT-4V to come up with creative and budget friendly gifts that are also available in Amazon to order it

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Stitching all the solution together to get it working

What we learned

Multion and it's capabilities, limitations and the possibilities

What's next for Birthday Genie

We're thinking about new languages, more gift options, and maybe even a mobile app
