In September 2023, my friends and I participated in HackMTY, an annual hackathon where companies present challenges for teams to propose solutions. We chose to tackle the challenge from Banorte, a bank in Mexico. The challenge involved integrating Banorte with the chatGPT AI to enhance the user experience by providing personalized recommendations.

To address this challenge, we created FINK, a platform where banks could contribute information for the AI to learn from. Based on user needs, FINK would recommend the best options from all the banks. We developed a web application using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, as well as a mobile application using React Native. We utilized the OpenAI API to obtain responses from the chatbot. Additionally, our friend Miguel Perez built a Python-based Neural Network to predict stock prices over time, enabling us to recommend optimal investment opportunities with associated risks. It was an incredibly interesting experience that provided us with valuable insights and learnings.
