Tangent
I built this project in 9 hours with two friends at the Leaner Startups AI Hackathon 4.0. We built a real time topic tracking app for Zoom and Teams meetings. It uses OpenAI whisper API to to transcribe the meeting in real time, then the Python Langchain backend determines if the current 10 second chunk of conversation is on topic, or off topic. The AI returns a value from -1 to 1, which is then plotted on a chart in the frontend using Chart.js, a score of 0 is perfectly on topic. A negative value is off distracting off topic, while a positive value is constructive off topic.
It was such a fun project to build, and we ended up winning 4th place! We were SO close to winning 3rd for a podium finish, the judges apparently argued for almost an hour to decide between us and the 3rd place team. They even gave us commemorative 3rd place metals despite us placing 4th lol. I'll take 4th out of 26 teams!
This project is a work in progress still, we meet up every once in a while to push this forward, with the goal of launching a useful plugin for Teams or Zoom.

Learnings
- Hackathons are my favorite hobby
- Having a talented UX designer, backend developer, and front end developer is a powerful combo
- Pitching is as valuable of a skill as developing at a Hackaton
- Coding is way more fun with good friends 😄
