πŸš€ PromptWars 2026: Improving My SmartFlow AI Project

Prompt Wars by Hack2Skill is a unique competition where applications are built using natural language prompts instead of traditional coding workflows.

This is my second iteration of the project, where I focused on improving both technical depth and real-world applicability.

πŸ’‘ Project: SmartFlow AI
SmartFlow AI Stadium View

SmartFlow AI is an AI-powered crowd management system designed for large-scale events such as stadiums, concerts, and festivals.

🎯 Problem
Large events face:

  • Crowd congestion
  • Long queues
  • Lack of real-time navigation
  • Safety concerns

🧠 Solution
SmartFlow AI provides:

  • πŸ“Š Real-time crowd heatmap
  • πŸ—ΊοΈ Smart navigation
  • 🚨 Live alerts
  • πŸ“ˆ AI-based crowd prediction
  • 🎟️ Smart entry simulation

πŸ”§ Improvements in This Version
After my initial submission, I enhanced the project by:

☁️ Google API Integration
Integrated Google APIs to demonstrate real-time backend connectivity and improve system capability.

πŸ§ͺ Testing Added
Implemented basic testing using Jest to improve code reliability.

βš™οΈ Backend Enhancements

  • Added API endpoints:
    • /health (system status)
    • /ai-prediction (future crowd insights)
    • /google-api-test (Google service validation)

🧱 Better Structure
Improved overall code organization and scalability.

Smart Navigation

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

  • React + Vite
  • Node.js + Express
  • Google Cloud Run (Deployment)
  • Google API integration
  • Jest (Testing)
