About

ScanSave.in reads product barcodes and returns nutritional, environmental, and price-oriented commentary using Google Gemini 1.5 Pro. The submission took first place at the IBM × LeicesterCS Hackathon 2025 after a weekend build.

Implementation

Next.js 14 provides the client and server routes; Supabase covers auth and persistence. The brief implementation included charts for spend, rudimentary offline behaviour where connectivity is poor, and sharing hooks.

Outcome

The exercise demonstrated integration of a multimodal model with a mobile-oriented UI under severe time constraint.
