About Vaccine Ready

How AI was used

Student-led. AI-assisted. I set the purpose, led the research and design, shaped the plan, and guided co-development and testing. AI helped carry out that direction.

1. What the AI builder wrote

Lovable drafted much of the code from my plans and revisions. AI also helped review official websites, draft translations and run automated checks. I directed the work and the changes. Translation review by native speakers is still needed.

2. What AI does inside the app

The clinic suggester and question helper use Lovable AI Gateway with an OpenAI model. They are instructed to use verified facts and clinic data, but can make mistakes. Check important answers with DC Health or your clinic.

3. What the student did

• Idea and purpose: I created the idea: help DC families find vaccine rules and nearby clinics in their language.
• Research and fact checking: I led the research direction, chose official sources and required unconfirmed clinic details to be clearly marked.
• Design choices: I led the design choices: the Vaccine Ready name, DC-inspired colors, fonts, maps, language controls and phone-friendly pages.
• Plan and revisions: I shaped the plan, narrowed the app to DC and requested repeated revisions to improve clarity and usefulness.
• Co-development and technical direction: I co-developed the app with AI assistance, defining features and directing changes to how the app works. AI drafted much of the code.
• Testing and what was learned: I guided testing priorities and requested repeated reviews of phone layouts, languages, clinic search, maps and dark mode.
