Won the "Most Product Readiness Award" at HackCelestial 2.0
A look back at how we built SeaGuard under pressure, an AI-powered maritime safety application leveraging React Native, Supabase, and Twilio; which secured the Most Product Readiness Award.
Securing the "Most Product Readiness Award" at HackCelestial 2.0 wasn't just about writing good code, it was about building something that solved a real problem in maritime safety.
The Challenge
We set out to build SeaGuard, a mobile application designed to save lives at sea. The ocean is vast and unforgiving, and when emergencies happen, communication is historically spotty. We wanted to build an SOS framework that used AI to streamline triage so coast guards understand exactly what they're walking into.
The Tech Stack
Over 36 intense hours, we combined React Native for a cross-platform mobile experience, Supabase as a lightning-fast backend, Twilio for instant SMS dispatching during emergencies, and SARVAM AI integration to rapidly parse distress signals into structured data.
"We didn't just build a hack; we built a deployable product that felt ready for the ocean."
