• Problem Statement:
  Great ideas often strike us at unexpected moments—while walking, showering, or chatting with a friend. But these ideas are frequently forgotten before they’re captured or developed. There’s no lightweight, accessible solution to quickly record and structure them into something actionable.

• Solution:
  Hear Me Out is a GenAI-powered tool that helps you instantly document voice or text ideas and turn them into structured pitch decks. It ensures your fleeting thoughts aren’t lost but preserved in a form you can present, share, or develop further.

• Project Description:
  Users can either record their idea via voice or type it in. The backend uses Gemini AI to transcribe, interpret, and expand the idea into a structured 10-slide pitch deck. This is then converted into a presentation file and uploaded to Supabase, with a public link and metadata generated and stored.

• Tech Stack and Libraries Used:

  • Backend: FastAPI (Python), Google Generative AI (Gemini Pro – Text & Audio), Supabase (Database & Storage)
  • Frontend (Prototype): Basic HTML + Tailwind CSS
  • Database Table: pitch_decks
    • Fields: company_name, tagline, original_idea, pdf_url, storage_path

• Implementation:

  1. User inputs an idea (via audio or text).
  2. Gemini AI transcribes audio and expands the content into a 10-slide pitch.
  3. The generated deck is converted into a PPT file.
  4. The file is uploaded to Supabase Storage.
  5. A public link is returned, and metadata is stored in the database.
