Law summarizing app through AI
Using OpenAI's API, we leveraged their trained AI to process a batch of laws and legislation. This allows users to access and understand legal texts without the usual complexity associated with them. The idea emerged after a day of brainstorming. Out of seven ideas, we chose this application due to its use of cutting-edge technologies and the opportunity to experiment with tools that were unfamiliar to us.
Initially, we second-guessed whether developing the AI application was a good decision, as it was a massive undertaking. However, as we progressed with our plan, our confidence grew. Working with these new technologies, despite our inexperience, became an exciting and rewarding challenge.
User experience was a top priority throughout the development process. We constantly reminded ourselves that our primary objective was to make laws easier to read and understand for everyone. By keeping this goal in mind, the user experience development naturally fell into place.

Challenges Faced
OpenAI and Categories were the biggest hurdles we've got. It was very unpredictable with the results the AI would give us through code. As using AI was unpredictable and no result would always be the same, we had to put limits on using AI- as it was ramping up costs as well. There's definitely a learning curve to using AI in development, but once you've learned how these technologies work, it's a powerful tool to have in your arsenal.
