Literary Pal
Our project is about using Google Vertex AI text-generation model(s) to recommend recently published literary pieces (short fiction, creative nonfiction essays, interviews, etc) published by small, independent or academic literary journals, to a wider audience. The motivation for our project is the grim reality of how underfunded small, literary journals areto increase the readership of literary journals by encouraging our app's users to click on interesting headlines to read the entire piece on the journal's website. We envision that the users could use some filter words to narrow their search or our recommendations. To recommend these pieces, we want to either classify each literary piece or to use AI to summarize it to no more than 10-15 words.
Verbify II
Imagine of world of no language barrier. Imagine a world were kids in Africa or Afghanistan (who only understand thier local language) getting higher quality education from tutors in more advanced countries because they're no longer limited by language. The internet has allot of free knowledge which can potentially improve the way of life of my citizens of third world countries but one major hindrance is the language barrier which prevents them from accessing information from other parts of the world. The goal of verbify is to break this language barrier especially in video and audio contents/informations. This solution (verbify) will greatly increase equality and give citizens of less privileged countries access to a higher standard of education and information therefore improving they're access to opportunities and finally they're way of life.
Accesify
The problem we are trying to solve is that of accessibility of the internet by people to disabilities. Accessibility in the sense that people with disabilities eg, people with ADHD, find it hard to navigate through complex and long webpages and end up getting less from what is meant to benefit them the most. Our solutiion is Accessify, A chrome extension that uses generative AI (Gemini Ultra APIs) to be able to simplify the process of navigating through webpages. Gemini Takes in the webpage, summarises and gives a more comprehensible, understandable and storylike version of the website which can make it easy for them to navigate thorugh the site. Accessify also offers additional features such as images summarisation and it is also able to explain an image inthe context pf the words that is found around it. This will help those with poor vision, color blindness, etc to better understand their webpages. Also, a Text-to-Speech model also makes it easy for people who are blind or who just prefer spoken words to listen to the better version of the website. In the future, we hope to make Accessify open source and others can contribute to it. Other features that we will want to include oin the feature is saving preference data to be able to provide better services to our audience, improving the view of the extension, add other feaures like contrast enhancement, and integrate it with an IoT device - Braille writer that can help translate Words to Braille for those with visual impairment to use. We hope to see people with disabilitiies flourish despite their seemingly disadvantaged state, but with accessify, we can change the game. Thank you.
