ECO-PULSE was built using a combination of modern web development technologies and AI-powered solutions. We leveraged Python (Flask) for the backend and Tailwind CSS for a responsive, user-friendly frontend. The AI components were developed to provide personalized tips for recycling and upcycling, based on user inputs. The platform was designed to be scalable and adaptable, integrating various APIs to deliver real-time environmental data.
