PokePal: AI-Powered Pokémon Card Scanner & Collection Manager

Pokémon card collectors had no easy way to digitise their physical collections. Manually cataloguing hundreds of cards — finding market values, tracking prices, managing wishlists — was tedious and time-consuming. The product also needed to support both English and Japanese cards, which added significant OCR complexity.

We built a mobile-first web app where users point their phone camera at any Pokémon card and the app identifies it instantly using Google Cloud Vision OCR and OpenAI. Identified cards are automatically added to a digital collection with live market pricing. Features include collection management, wishlist, price tracking, and Google authentication.
