[MHacks 17] Project: Flash

A study tool generator from YouTube links. The amount of data available to society is growing at an incredibly rate every day. Machine learning models are being used to automate previously human tasks such as data annotation, and in order to relieve some of the information overload on students, we developed Flash. Flash, at the moment, takes a YouTube URL and converts it into either a quiz or flashcards to test you on the information. My contribution to the project was building the front-end and populating it with the data from our backend, which used Youtube's Caption API and using OpenAI and groq to develop either questions or flashcards. Future avenues include swapping entirely to an open source LLM, adding the option to export flashcards in forms compatible with Quizlet and Anki, and potentially adding a dedicated database in order to allow users to maintain flashcards on the database rather than on localstorage. https://github.com/supasuge/Flash devpost to be posted later
