BrewChat: Enhancing Interview Preparation Inspiration During a discussion about co-ops and the interview process, we realized the significant impact of coffee chats. These informal conversations often help candidates prepare better for formal interviews, providing insights and boosting confidence. This inspired us to create brewchat, a tool designed to capture the essence of these chats and make interview preparation more effective.

Challenges We Ran Into Accuracy of Transcription: Ensuring accurate and useful transcriptions required fine-tuning our algorithms to handle various accents and speech patterns. User Interface Design: Creating an intuitive and seamless user interface that accommodated all features without overwhelming the user required several iterations. Data Storage: Efficiently storing and retrieving multiple chat sessions while maintaining data privacy and security was a critical aspect we had to address.
