Inspiration
It was inspired by a TED Talk based on the mathematics of life on how maths can be used to assist people in making decisions.
What it does
It helps users make better decisions using AI and probability theory. It guides users through a structured decision-making process to determine whether they should explore new options or stick with familiar choices.
How we built it
We built it using React (TypeScript), CSS for styling and axios for API calls for the frontend. Regarding the backend, we used Node.js with Express, Google Generative AI (Gemini) and CORS for cross-origin requests.
Challenges we ran into
In our team, 3 out of 4 members were participating in their first hackathon so initially, we attempted to set up the backend of Decision.io using Spring Boot (Java) before deciding to stick with the tried and tested Node.js framework.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of completing all the functionality of the application together as a team.
What we learned
We learned a lot about splitting tasks between team members based on their strengths and weaknesses with proved to be of great success as the application has been fully completed.
What's next for Decision.io
We can advance the probability metric to make it more accurate and to also integrate a database to Decision.io.
