Knowledge Navigator

Inspiration

Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator concept video.

Students have an overwhelming amount of information and to-dos to keep track of -- a tool that acts, essentially, as a personal assistant is something that can appeal to any student. The ability to automate menial tasks, like entering assignments from a syllabi in a task list, can save students hours over time.

What it does

Our tool has two primary functions

1. Knowledge: Aggregate information necessary to undergraduate students: emails, events, and tasks. Summarize emails with the click of a button.
2. Navigator: Assist students in completing tedious tasks using an AI agent as well as provide flashcards/tutoring based on provided student files. ## How we built it We used Electron.js with React and shadcn/ui components for the frontend with a Python FastAPI backend that uses the Google API Python library. We used Snowflake for the AI agent. ## Challenges we ran into Running out of time ## Accomplishments that we're proud of Clean UI, full integration with Google Suite, powerful AI agent ## What we learned The importance of proper planning, time management, and task delegation ## What's next for Knowledge Navigator Integration with more services: Notion (Calendar & Todo), Handshake (Internship search & application) Prompt tweaks: create a more efficient agent
