Coupn: America's Solution's to Credit Card Debt πŸ’°

Coupn is built to help you save money by finding promo codes hidden in your email. We noticed many people ignore promo emails and existing promo code tools just don't work. Coupn fixes that by automatically scanning your promotion emails, finding the best deals, and showing them to youβ€”all in a simple, easy-to-use format. Plus, it's exclusive to just you! No more searching online for deals that barely work. We are reinventing the way you save.


How It Works πŸ› οΈ

Coupn grabs your promotion emails from your inbox and looks through every part of the email to find the promo codes and messages you need. We use smart image processing and natural language tools to scan the email, even when it's filled with up to 30 colorful images. With Coupn, you no longer have to search through long emails or rely on unreliable browser extensions. πŸ”

  • Email Fetching: Coupn automatically pulls in your promotion emails with Gmail API. No more missing out on deals because you forgot to check your inbox. πŸ“§
  • Image & Text Processing: Our tool goes through all the images and text in each email with Gemini and Optical Character Recognition. It finds the promo code by looking at every detail, even when the email is busy with multiple images. πŸ–ΌοΈ Gemini's massive context window also allowed us to achieve high data flow.
  • Voice Commands: You can also use your voice. Just say, "Hey Coupn, I want to go grocery shopping, what promos are available?" and Coupn will show you the best deals for grocery shopping, exclusive to you. πŸ—£οΈ
  • Secure Backend with Supabase: All the data is stored and processed securely using Supabase, which makes the whole process fast and reliable. πŸ”’ It also ensures a unique user experience to everyone.

The Problem We Solved βœ…

Promotion emails are often ignored, and even when people do check them, it's hard to pick out the useful deals. Here's what we noticed:

  • Cluttered Emails: A typical promo email is filled with many images and long texts. This clutter makes it hard to find the actual promotional deals. πŸ“₯
  • Unreliable Tools: Existing promo code tools and browser extensions are often inaccurate or just don't work 🚫. Plus they contain viruses πŸ₯Ά
  • Wasting Time: Users spend too much time scrolling through emails and clicking on wrong codes, which means they miss out on real savings. ⏰ In a world of growing priorities and hustle, every second is priceless.

Coupn tackles these problems by using advanced tools to sift through the clutter and deliver only the best deals. 🎯


Overcoming Challenges πŸ’ͺ

One of the biggest challenges was dealing with the busy design of promo emails. With up to 100+ images per email, figuring out which image holds the promo code was like finding a needle in a haystack. We solved this by:

  • Using Gemini: Gemini gives us a massive context windowβ€”up to one million tokensβ€”which means it can process very long emails accurately. This made it possible to extract the promo code even from the most image-heavy emails. 🌟
  • Combining Techniques: By using both image processing and natural language processing, we ensured that we capture both the visual and text parts of the email. This dual approach is what makes Coupn so effective. 🀝
  • Efficient Filtering: We found that most images placed within emails (logos, photos, etc) were mostly decorative and therefore could be ignored. This was done by only processing an image if it had a file size greater than a determined threshold. Most promotions were placed on the biggest images, and this vastly increased our efficiency.

What We're Proud Of πŸ†

  • Simple: Coupn is easy to use. You don't need to be tech-savvy to find the best deals. 🎈
  • Unique: It offers a fresh way to deal with promo emails, unlike any other tool out there. ⭐
  • Effective: Our approach reliably extracts the right promotions every time, saving you time and money. πŸ’―
  • Useful: By letting you access the best deals quickly, Coupn helps reduce the burden of credit card debt through smart, everyday savings. πŸ’Έ

What's Next for Coupn πŸš€

We're just getting started. Here's what we plan to add:

  • Credit Card Cashback Rewards: We want to integrate credit card cashback rewards so that you can combine promo codes with your cards like Capital One to gain even more savings. πŸ’³
  • Personalized Deal Recommendations: Future updates will look at your shopping habits and suggest deals that are perfect for you. 🎁
  • Mobile App: We're planning to develop a mobile app, so you can access Coupn on the go. πŸ“±
  • Expanded Voice Features: We aim to improve the voice command feature to support more queries and actions, making it even easier to find the deals you want. 🎀

Stay tuned for Coupn, soon to be available to everyone :)
