Inspiration

Our inspiration for Tech Tonic stemmed from the ever-evolving landscape of technology stacks. As technology enthusiasts ourselves, we often found it challenging to determine the best tech stack for a given project. We realized that this problem could be addressed effectively by harnessing the power of GPT-3, a state-of-the-art large language model. This inspired us to create a tech stack recommender that leverages the capabilities of GPT-3 to simplify the decision-making process for developers and project managers.

What it does

Tech Tonic is a revolutionary tech stack recommender powered by GPT-3. It takes various inputs, including your proficiency in different technologies, project deadlines, and information about your projects, and generates tailored tech stack recommendations. Here's how it works:

User Input: You provide information about your proficiency in backend, frontend, and database technologies, along with the number of projects you've built using each technology. You also specify the
project deadline and provide any additional project-related information.
GPT-3 Magic: GPT-3, our backbone of AI, processes this input to understand your unique requirements and constraints.
Customized Recommendations: GPT-3 generates a personalized tech stack recommendation based on your input. It considers factors such as your expertise, project scope, and timeline, ensuring that the recommended stack aligns perfectly with your needs.
Human-Like Descriptions: Tech Tonic presents the recommendations in a human-like, comprehensible format, making it easy for you to understand the rationale behind each suggestion.
Shares resources: Not only tech stack recommendation, Tech Tonic also provides relevant resources for starting with recommended tech stack be it GitHub repo, official documentation pages, udemy courses, or basic projects on the tech stack.

How we built it

Building Tech Tonic was a fascinating journey that involved the following key steps:

Data Collection and Fine-Tuning: We started by creating a dataset containing information on various v tech stacks and their suitability for different project scenarios. We fine-tuned GPT-3 on this dataset to ensure that it could understand and generate tech stack recommendations effectively.
User Interface: We designed an intuitive user interface that allows users to input their technology proficiencies, project details, and constraints. The interface communicates with GPT-3 to retrieve and display the recommendations.
Integration with GPT-3: We integrated GPT-3 into our application, enabling seamless communication between the user and the model. GPT-3 processes user input and generates tech stack recommendations in real-time.
Testing and Iteration: We rigorously tested Tech Tonic to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its recommendations. We iterated on the model's performance, fine-tuning it further to enhance its ability to provide meaningful suggestions.

Challenges we ran into

Developing Tech Tonic presented its fair share of challenges:

Data Collection: Creating a comprehensive and diverse dataset for fine-tuning GPT-3 required significant effort and domain expertise.
Model Fine-Tuning: Fine-tuning a large language model like GPT-3 to provide context-aware tech stack recommendation was a complex process that involved multiple iterations.
User Experience: Designing an intuitive and user-friendly interface that effectively communicates the recommendations generated by GPT-3 was a design and usability challenge.
Performance Optimization: Ensuring that the recommendations were generated in a timely manner and that the application could handle concurrent users was a technical challenge.
