What it does

NAVI is an AI-powered digital assistant that unifies emails, calendars, and notifications into one intelligent workspace. It won 3rd place at UH CodeRED Astra 2025 by providing contextual understanding and adaptive insights across multiple data sources.

How it works

  • Leverages Google Gemini API for multimodal reasoning across text, time, and events
  • Generates adaptive summaries, task recommendations, and priority insights
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) serves as secure middleware for third-party integrations
  • Dynamically connects services (Google Calendar, Outlook, Notion) without storing credentials
  • Cross-platform prototype enables scalable, modular integration
