Conceptua

Inspiration

Learning should not be restricted to the 4 walls of a classroom. With the advent of cool AI technologies, I thought it was possible to add a cool flavor to how we normally learn new concepts!

What it does

Conceptua has 2 pieces:

• A web App
• A chrome extension

Users can open the web app and enter the topic name of any concept they wish to learn. A cool sci-fi themed story is generated to explain this concept

The chrome extension is built to assist learning new concepts while surfing on other websites. Users can highlight keywords, right-click and select the ' Generate story ' option. A panel overlays on the website with the generated story!

How I built it

The webapp is a NextJS app which calls the GPT3 model using apis.

The chrome extension is built using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

CockroachDB is used on the backend to store keywords to improve the stories generated.

Challenges I ran into

Prompt engineering was hard. Getting the perfect prompt to generate cool sci-fi themed stories was little challenging.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

Finishing both the webApp and the chrome extension before the deadline feels pretty good!

How to use GPT3

What's next for Conceptua

Fine-tuning the model to generate better stories is something I want to take up next.
