DormFix

DormFix - AI-Powered Campus Maintenance Triage. Built for the Gemini 3 Global Hackathon (Google DeepMind x Devpost), DormFix is a full-stack application that improves how college dorm maintenance requests are submitted, reviewed, and prioritized. Students submit issues in plain language while the system highlights urgency, summarizes the problem, and provides context so staff can make faster decisions and resolve critical issues first. Designed for practical usability, clear information flow, and operational efficiency while scaling with increased usage.
