Inspiration
In today’s digital age, browsing the internet is often an isolated experience. We wanted to create a space where people could connect, communicate, and collaborate based on shared interests – all while fostering inclusivity and peace. Inspired by the need for meaningful digital interaction and safe spaces for diverse communities, Browser Rooms was born.
What it does
Our goal is to help users find common ground, share knowledge, and promote peaceful discourse, even on complex topics.
How we built it
We developed Browser Rooms as a Chrome extension and web application, enabling real-time connections among users. Using MongoDB Cloud for data management and analysis, we designed a dashboard where users can view their browsing stats, track time spent, and analyze tab activity by category. Our AI tools utilize prompt engineering and LLM models, including the scikit-learn library, for real-time analysis of community messaging. To enhance user experience, we implemented features like light/dark themes and color-blind support for accessibility.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenges was ensuring sensitive and inclusive communication. Implementing pronoun correction, cultural context prompts, and filtering mechanisms required detailed attention to user behavior and preferences. Another challenge was designing a smooth real-time matching system, ensuring that users connect based on genuine interests without compromising privacy.
