Campfire Dubai today.

The day started like any event day. We had about 90 sign ups, around 60 check ins, and about 50 people who actually attended. We were a little behind schedule.

We had a Zoom meeting with the co-founder of Careem, introduced ourselves, and covered the usual opening things.

## Workshop

We started our GameMaker workshop at around 1 PM.

At about 1:45 PM, the director head from Microsoft Dubai told us to evacuate immediately because of rising tensions and reported explosions in Abu Dhabi with possible targets in Dubai. That was the end of Campfire Dubai.

## Credits

The main organizers did an incredible job and deserve recognition for their work. They set up a great venue and brought in strong sponsors.

Shoutout to:
- Aly
- Omar
- Salah

They made the few hours we had memorable for both participants and volunteers.

## Closing

Hopefully things settle down soon and we can run this again in the near future.

Today’s **Genius Hour** was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while.

It was fun, challenging, and super rewarding all at once, but lowkey it's sad that it isn't a comp bruh

## What I Presented

I presented my project [**Hisabi**](https://github.com/ItsAkshatSh/hisabipocket) – my AI-powered finance companion app  
Walking the judges through:
- Receipt scanning
- Speech-to-text expense logging
- AI spending insights
- Weekly Wrapped features

Seeing people actually *understand* and appreciate what I built felt unreal

it kirkenuily was pretty nice to see people appreciate and i couldn't do this without my hb Briyan, he ***carried*** the UI, while I did the features, it was fun but draining asw, so i honestly don't know if i will be doing this again in the future

Thanks for reading!

I’ve been working on something pretty exciting lately – an AI-powered finance tracking app called **Hisabi** 
The goal? To make managing money *way less annoying* and actually fun to use.

Let me walk you through what it does and why I built it.

## Why Hisabi?

Let’s be real, most people:
- Don’t have time to track expenses
- Forget to log transactions
- Find finance apps boring or complicated

Hisabi is made for people who want control over their spending **without doing extra work**.  
You spend, Hisabi handles the rest 

## Core Features

### Receipt Reading
Just snap a photo of your receipt and Hisabi reads it, extracts the amount, store name, and category automatically.

No more typing numbers manually like it’s 2005.

###  Speech to Text
Bought something and feeling lazy?  
Just say it:

> "Spent 120 on groceries"

Hisabi converts your voice into an expense entry instantly.  
Fast. Clean. No friction.

### AI Spending Insights
This is where things get smart.

Hisabi uses AI to:
- Analyze your spending habits
- Show where your money actually goes
- Suggest ways to save

Example:
> "You spent 30% more on food this week compared to last week"

It’s like having a financial buddy in your pocket.

## Implemented Features

All of this is already live:

- Weekly Wrapped (your spending recap every week)
- Smart categories
- Cloud sync
- AI driven

## what's coming next?

not completely sure, but surely something related to reading you spendings on a card, by reading the sms noti's

## Who Is It For?

Hisabi is perfect for:
- Busy students
- Working professionals
- Anyone who hates spreadsheets
- People who *want to save* but don’t know where to start

Basically – if money tracking feels tedious, Hisabi is for you.


Building Hisabi – My AI Finance Tracking App

lowkey i don't what to type right now, but when something comes up i will surely document it here

## how did i build this?

- well this basically parses throuugh a MarkDown file for content, and then converts it into html, hence you can see this page
- this basically makes it easy for me to be able to write everyday or most of the days i hope
