The challenge given on the hackathon was called "Best use of GenAI using InterSystems IRIS Vector Search". Our team built a travel assistant tool that makes use of embeddings of user interests and city descriptions in order to suggest alternative flight routes s.t. Users with similar interests might be recommended to take the same flight OR users might be recommended to take flights to cities that they are likely to find interesting. (Note: We improvised our presentation, and the video I embedded below wasn't meant to have sound, so please ignore the sound :D)
