QuickNotes AI | Devpost

Inspiration

A lack of neat, organized study materials is something that many students suffer, and we set out to change that.

What It Does

Users can import lecture transcripts into QuickNotes AI, and the software will then produce well-structured, brief notes that the user can save and access at a later time.

How We Built It

We used OpenAI's API to manage the formatting and summarization of the submitted transcripts, and we built this app using JavaFX.

Challenges We Encountered

We encountered major roadblocks due to security protocols in our original plan to automatically extract captions from the myCourses website. Because of this, we had to change our strategy and rethink the project's functionality in order to achieve our goals.

Accomplishments We’re Proud Of

Using OpenAI's API to generate well-structured, professionally-looking PDFs is something we're very pleased with. By the conclusion of the event, our team will have accomplished a great deal by delivering a product that is both functional and easy to use.

What We Learned

By working on this project, we were able to refine our knowledge of JavaFX, get a better grasp of OpenAI's API, and practice PDF generation techniques.

What’s Next for QuickNotes AI

In order to make QuickNotes AI even more accessible and user-friendly for students, we want to build a browser extension that will allow its capabilities to be seamlessly integrated into platforms like myCourses.
