SmartCheckScanner

The little things are just as important as the big things

Comment

Inspiration

We rarely pay our attention to supermarket prices, but if you, like me, were born in a country where prices go up every season and wages don't, it's important for you to occasionally save a few pennies, which is what our website can do.

What it does

You can upload your receipt as a pdf or picture and afterward get recommendations on how to save money.

How we built it

We built this site using for backend: Python, Django, Django REST framework; for frontend: HTML, CSS, ReactJS

Challenges we ran into

We faced the problem of selecting and customizing the AI, as well as choosing an algorithm for image processing. We were able to solve the first problem by taking the gemini-1.5-pro model as an AI for text processing, having customized it for ourselves, we made a conclusion of recommendations for the check. The second problem we have not been able to solve yet.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have been able to write a working prototype version.

What we learned

We learned that choosing an AI is very difficult, especially when no one on our team has ever worked with AI beyond simple questions to Chat GPT and Gemini.

What's next for SmartCheckScanner

We will add processing for multiple file formats and pictures. It will also be possible to add a form, collect data of the place where the user lives (country/city), and make the output of recommendations for a particular person depending on his/her location.
