Inspiration
One of our grandparents got scammed by a phishing email online because they had no way to know if an email they got sent was legitimate or not
What it does
It is a Chrome Extension that uses Gemini's API to process the content of an email and assign it a score 1-10 depending on how likely the email is to be a phishing email
How we built it
It was built with a react frontend and a node.js with express backend
Challenges we ran into
We couldn't figure out how to integrate GMail's API into the project and it took us a while to get the Gemini API working
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Wrote a good Gemini prompt that returned a 1-10 value that was accurate and also implemented a color changing background dependent on the severity score assigned by Gemini
What we learned
Look more in depth into the API connections before you start the project and how to run extensions on chrome
What's next for ReelSecure
Implementing the GMail API and expanding the phishing awareness outside of emails
