## Inspiration and Beginning

The journey of developing our food transparency app began with a simple yet powerful idea: to empower consumers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about the food they buy and consume. Inspired by the vision of Open Food Facts, we were driven by the belief that everyone should have access to transparent information about the products they consume daily. This vision resonated deeply with our team, igniting a passion to contribute to a more transparent and sustainable food system.

## What it does

Health Receipt is a revolutionary app designed to provide consumers with comprehensive information about the food products they purchase. Its core functionalities include:

1. **OCR-Based Receipt Scanning**: Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, Health Receipt scans grocery store receipts to extract detailed information about the food items listed.
2. **Nutrition Information**: The app retrieves nutrition facts for each scanned product, including calorie count, macronutrient breakdown, and ingredient list.
3. **Eco-Scores and Packaging Information**: Health Receipt evaluates the environmental impact of each product by analyzing packaging materials and carbon footprint, providing users with eco-scores to guide sustainable purchasing decisions.
4. **Allergen Warnings**: The app identifies potential allergens present in scanned products, helping users with dietary restrictions make safe choices.
5. **Recipe Creation**: Health Receipt offers a unique feature that allows users to generate recipes based on the ingredients scanned from their receipts, promoting creative and healthy meal planning.

## How we built it

1. **Typescript**: We chose TypeScript for its strong typing system and scalability, enabling us to write cleaner and more maintainable code.
2. [Bun](https://bun.sh/): The backend of Health Receipt is powered by Bun, providing a fast and efficient server environment for processing user requests and handling data.
3. **npm**: We utilized npm, the package manager for JavaScript, to integrate various libraries and dependencies into our project, streamlining development and ensuring compatibility.
4. [Convex](https://www.convex.dev/): Leveraging the Convex framework, we implemented features such as text search, server functions, and real-time updates, enhancing the performance and functionality of our app's backend.
5. [Google Vision API](https://cloud.google.com/vision?hl=en): For OCR functionality, we integrated the Google Vision API, which enabled us to extract text data from grocery store receipts with high accuracy and reliability.
6. [Together AI](https://www.together.ai/): Collaborating with Together AI, we incorporated innovative features like recipe creation into Health Receipt, enriching the user experience and adding value to the app.

## Challenges we ran into

Throughout the hackathon, we encountered numerous challenges that tested our perseverance and problem-solving skills. From overcoming technical hurdles to refining user interfaces for optimal usability, each obstacle presented an opportunity for growth and innovation. One of our significant challenges was ensuring the accuracy and reliability of OCR data extraction, requiring meticulous fine-tuning and validation processes.

With each hurdle overcame, we emerged stronger and more resilient, fueled by our passion for catalyzing positive change in the food industry.

## Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our integration with the Open Food Facts database has enabled us to contribute to the broader movement for food transparency. By leveraging this vast repository of product data, we're facilitating greater transparency and accountability within the food industry.

## What we learned

Through the development of Health Receipt, we gained invaluable insights into the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Our team dynamics played a crucial role in driving the project forward, with each member contributing their unique strengths and expertise. We learned to leverage individual strengths to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities, fostering a supportive and cohesive working environment. Additionally, we became more attuned to recognizing and addressing our team's weaknesses, embracing a culture of continuous improvement and open communication. Ultimately, our journey with Health Receipt reinforced the significance of teamwork in achieving shared goals and delivering impactful solutions to real-world problems.
## Inspiration

One of our main inspirations was looking through some of the most engaging presentations that we've seen in the past. One of the best ways to engage an audience is through laughter, and making it easier for users to implement comedic elements is what we are setting out to do. Giggle Gear might sound like a silly name, but we aren't joking around when it comes to optimizing content creation for all users.

## What it does

Giggle Gear is an Adobe Express add on that streamlines the gap between image generation and the creation of graphics, presentations and much more. Giggle Gear allows users to quickly import and caption memes, reaction images, and everything in between straight from an extensive database of internet content. We also have a fully functional AI feature that allows users to enter simple prompts and receive a newly generated meme relevant to the content of their slides.

## How we built it

Giggle gear is based on React, a library that pairs very well with Adobe Express and allows for quick responsiveness. We use imgflip, a large meme database that allows users to to create their own templates on the fly. We bridge the gap using their premium API, and as a result we're able to access their large database of images while making it as efficient as possible for all Express users.

## Challenges we ran into

Our greatest challenge was figuring out the Adobe Express add on process, and implementing a well designed front end took time as we tried our best to make our app look as accessible and easy to use as possible. Thankfully due to the wealth of resources that Adobe provides when it came to documentation, we were able to create a polished end product.

## Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the ease of use that comes with our add on, considering the amount of steps that it cuts out for the average content creator. We're also very proud of how efficiently our program is able to parse through a wide variety of images while giving a wealth of choices to all of our users. We were able to keep the cost of queries low and when the app is officially pushed to the adobe add on section, most features associated with Giggle Gear will be completely free to use for all users.

## What we learned

We learned that when we are creating content of our own, speed and ease of use comes first and that's exactly what we aimed to do. Allowing users to be as creative as possible while giving them access to the power of generative AI can unlock a treasure trove of content that not only engages audiences more, but lets creators explore areas of their presentation that they may never have thought of utilizing before.

## What's next for Giggle Gear

We're aiming to monetize Giggle Gear in partnership with Adobe Express' Premium feature. This will allow us to keep producing AI prompts at lower cost to us, and hopefully allow us to turn a profit on their platform. Giggle Gear will always be a free to use add-on, but there are some features that will allow Adobe Express Premium members to get the absolute out of our software when it comes to digital content creation.
