FBLA Students Build Real-World AI Solutions at Chipp Hackathon
We just wrapped up our exciting FBLA AI Hackathon, where students from across Florida showcased their innovative AI solutions using Chipp.ai. If you missed our live showcase event, you can catch the replay here.
What struck us most was how these future (or should we say current?) business leaders identified real-world problems and built practical AI solutions. We challenged participants to create AI tools that would make a real impact on businesses, and wow, did they deliver!
Let's meet our winners and their incredible creations:
🥇 First Place: Airbnb Assistant by Austin McCallister
Austin built an impressive solution that could revolutionize how Airbnb hosts manage their properties. This AI assistant handles 90% of guest inquiries automatically - perfect for hosts looking to scale their business without scaling their support team.
What really caught our attention was the technical innovation: Austin integrated real-time Wi-Fi monitoring through a clever DNS setup and added direct messaging capabilities via Discord webhook. Talk about solving real problems with creative solutions!
🥈 Second Place: Tax Master by Vihaan Gowda
Vihaan created Tax Master to demystify tax season for business owners. This clever AI is trained on federal and Florida tax codes, helping users maximize refunds and minimize stress. What's exciting is its potential to integrate with platforms like Clover for real-time transaction analysis and tax insights.
🥉 Third Place: Golden Corral Food Assistant by Aditi Deshmukh
Aditi tackled a unique challenge: helping diners navigate buffet options with dietary restrictions. This AI assistant provides detailed ingredient information and nutritional content for Golden Corral's extensive menu. It's a perfect example of how AI can enhance the dining experience while solving real accessibility challenges.
