CoLab

CoLab was my first ever hackathon project. At the Leaner Startups AI hackathon, we made a team of six people, and spent eight hours hacking away to get it finished. We used Next.js, React, Python and OpenAI to build a platform that would help you find the right people to collaborate with. It used resumes and a short survey to gather information about people using embeddings in a vector database, then used GPT-4 to match people together. Not only did it match people based off of interests, but it also recommended people that could compliment your skills to make a complete team. It was a fun project, and I learned a lot about working with a team, and how to build a project in a short amount of time. We ended up placing 6th, and I was hooked on hackathons from that point on.

Ultimately, this project was abandoned, ironically due to poor team chemistry but also it seemed that only a couple of us were actually trying to push this along. I still think it's a cool idea, and I hope someone builds something like this in the future.
