Orion AI

Inspiration

We wanted a banking experience that feels calm and helpful, especially for those with visual imparities.

What it does

• Shows balances, spending trends, recent transactions, goals, and cards in one clean dashboard.
• Lets you ask an AI advisor quick questions like “What changed this month?” or “How can I save $200?”
• Offers optional screen‑share analysis to help review statements or catch suspicious charges.

How we built it

• Frontend: React + Vite with accessible UI primitives (Radix), icons (lucide), and a high‑contrast, glassy design.
• Services: TypeScript API layer to a FastAPI backend for health checks, conversation flow, and screen analysis hooks.
• Components: Cards, lists, charts, and a starry background with smooth animations.

Challenges we ran into

• Dependency/version mismatches across UI libraries that broke builds.
• Balancing visual polish with performance and accessibility.
• Scoping features so the demo stayed stable.

Accomplishments that we’re proud of

• A fast, cohesive dashboard that feels premium without being cluttered.
• An advisor that opens instantly and focuses on actions, not noise.
• A component system that’s easy to extend.

What we learned

• Keep imports and UI primitives clean; small version issues cost time.
• Designing the experience first made technical choices simpler.
• Resilience matters: health checks, error states, and fallbacks reduce demo stress.

What’s next for Orion AI

• Secure account aggregation for real, personalized insights.
• Smart alerts (bill spikes, duplicate charges, quiet subscriptions) and budgeting nudges.
• Deeper advisor skills like “what‑if” simulations and proactive guidance.
• Mobile layout and accessibility refinements.
