Top 100 of 26,000 in the Gemini XPRIZE
Sophie 4.5
CLYTE's first full product: Sophie out of beta, built for the Gemini XPRIZE, where it made the top 100 of 26,000.
LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
Sophie 4.5 was our first full product, built for the Gemini XPRIZE competition, and it started our shift toward building the monetization infrastructure. It brought a new UI and notes; a direct connection from the scratch analyzer to the chat; a new FDA guidance engine, added per user request, that talks to the regular chat; a dedicated analytics engine; and a visualizer that lets users visualize methods and scientific drawings.
WHY
We had enough feedback and users that we felt ready to get out of beta, and it happened to coincide with the Gemini XPRIZE, so we used that as an excuse to build the full product.
WHAT I WORKED ON
Everything.
WHAT CAME OF IT
It was a success: top 100 out of 26,000 in the XPRIZE, user growth, and more feedback, which led us to rebuild from the ground up again. It was in use until version 5.0 replaced it.
