HookedIn
Introduction
HookedIn is the next big thing. It's like LinkedIn but with a little twist. To get started, simply link to your old LinkedIn profile and our AI will convert that dusty old thing into something new and fresh.
What It Actually Does
HookedIn gives the user a landing page that requests their LinkedIn profile URL. It takes that URL and runs through it with an API from RapidAPI specialized for LinkedIn Profiles. This generates output in a JSON format that then gets sent to OpenAI. The page the user sees changes and the response from OpenAI is displayed. That response? A Shakespearean diss track based on the contents of your LinkedIn profile.
Inspiration
Our main inspiration was being able to use and implement a Generative AI into our project. We decided on adding LinkedIn to our project since it's something that all of our group members are always working on improving and wish we had feedback on. We also enjoy being silly sometimes.
How we built it
We built it on a Vite development base and used a heck of a lot of node modules. We interfaced with two different APIs:
- The Linkedin Profiles API on RapidAPI, which we used to gather the information of the user's profile based on the url to it.
- The API for GPT-3.5-Turbo. This API allowed us to communicate with and receive messages back from the GenAI model. We also hosted a local Express Server, which helped transfer data between all the moving parts. Some notable technologies and libraries we used include: React, Tailwind CSS, Express.js, Framer, OpenAI API, and Cheerio.
Challenges We Ran Into
Our main challenges were:
- Our varying experiences in using Git
- Implementing the GPT API
- But mostly, the Express server. This part gave us so much more than we bargained for.
