This submission, titled "PawSafe," is an AI-powered web application designed to help dog owners determine if a particular food is safe for their pets. Users can input a food's name, upload an image of the food, or provide both for analysis. PawSafe then utilizes Google's Gemini API to generate a safety assessment, categorizing the result into four levels: Generally Safe, Use Caution, Not Safe, or Unable to Determine.
The application provides explanations, potential warnings, and safer alternatives when applicable. The front-end of the application is built using React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, while the Google Gemini API integration is kept on the backend using Node.js, Express, Multer, and CORS for security. The result is then presented in a user-friendly format through PawSafe's interface, making it accessible and easy to understand for dog owners. This project is submitted for the Best Use of Google AI prize category.
