Summary

The Developer Week 2022 Hackathon provided an opportunity for Plushcap and Yannis Panagis to challenge themselves creatively by combining Agora's interactive experience APIs with Symbl.ai's conversation intelligence, aiming to build a smarter conversation experience. They aimed to address the challenges of tech interviews by creating InterviewToast, an internal tool offering three main features: interview preparation, feedback, and assessment, leveraging Symbl's AI for real-time insights and analysis. The solution was built using various technologies, including GatsbyJS, Agora.io, and Firebase, with WebRTC integration, which initially posed a challenge but helped Plushcap overcome his fear of the technology. Future extensions to the product include integrating Stripe for monetization and implementing interactive charts for data visualization.
