Most Innovative Award: Regul8
Reggy is an AI Assistant helping policymakers Giga/UNICEF navigate the complex telecom regulatory landscape when it comes to connecting schools to the internet.
The system follows the RAG framework. The system consists of the vector database generated from a huge number of scraped documents related to our application. The embeddings were generated using OpenAI model "text-embedding-05" and stored locally in a vector store using ChromaDB. The system uses a specialized prompt that fills in the context using data retrieved from the vector store based on the user question. This filled prompt is then forwarded to the LLM engine OpenAI "gpt-model-05" for final analysis and response. The prompt is engineered to force the LLM to use only the context to provide the answer and to keep the answer as clear and concise as possible. The prompt is also engineered to provide some extra information regarding the Internet Connectivity Penetration score of the specific country in question. The system exposes the LLM pipeline using REST API to our frontend written in React. The frontend allows the user to chat with the LLM as well as displaying relevant charts related to the data returned by the LLM.

Hacker's Choice Award: Socratic Coders
Our project unfolds in several progressive stages, beginning with the development of the "Socrate Chat" platform, which leverages the extensive knowledge base of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Next, we integrate advanced speech recognition technologies to enhance accessibility for visually impaired users, allowing for seamless interaction and engagement. The ultimate goal is to expand this platform's capabilities to the educational sector. By collaborating with publishers and libraries, we aim to utilize digital texts to craft specialized knowledge domains—ranging from mathematics and history to physics and biology—tailored to different educational levels. This will enable the creation of a personalized tutoring agent for blind students, designed to support their learning journey and help them achieve academic excellence alongside their peers.
