I’d like to showcase a recent Glide project to select applicants using a combination of human-powered and AI-powered assessments.
The app is being used to help choose which organizations are most suitable to participate on a government project.
As you can imagine, any type of government project is going to have a ton of requirements.
Here is a quick summary of what this app had to do:
- Accept applications from multiple organizations via an online form.
- Allow a team of researchers assess all the organization’s applications.
- Implement 5 assessments per organization.
- One of the 5 assessments needs to assign higher scores to the organizations whose answers are more unique in comparison to all the other organizations.
- Implement OpenAI to provide an overall assessment for each organization based on the weighted scores from the 5 assessments.
- Create a report tab displaying the aggregate of all scores and rankings from high to low.
- Create a detailed page per organization breaking down the independent scores for each organization and how they compare to all the other organizations.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if Glide would be the right tool to build such a complex app.
However, I thought this project would be ideal to push the limits of Glide as a no-code app-building tool (and my limits as a Glide developer too!)
So how did it go?
After two long weeks working into the wee hours, I was able to meet all the requirements.
All in all, the app did everything it had to do including generating assessments via OpenAI.
It was a challenging project but very rewarding in the end.
