🌑 Building Eclipse: From an Idea to a Team Effort
What started as a simple AI prototype became something much bigger. 🚀
Eclipse is JGM Innovation’s internal working platform, built by our interns to help our team work smarter and make nonprofit operations more efficient.
💡 It all started with Matthew Tso, who created the first prototype. At the time, Eclipse was an AI tool that audited blog posts and dashboards. He shared it with the team, gathered feedback, and showed us that the idea was worth pursuing.
🚀 From there, the vision grew.
Ruben Giraldo transformed the early prototype into a platform the team could continue building on. Zahyra Otero expanded it with tools for social media generation, AI prompts, skill creation, and a smoother chat experience. 🧩
🔐 Yi Cui focused on making Eclipse reliable and secure, adding security checks, content filtering, file validation, and donor receipt safeguards.
📄 Ismael Hernandez expanded the platform with AI-powered resume review and infrastructure guides, while Sebastian Giraldo created the tools and documentation that allow our team to build new AI skills of their own.
⚙️ Behind the scenes, Pranika Kalluru kept development moving, helping turn new ideas into finished features.
🤝 And that’s what makes Eclipse special: it was built through collaboration.
Every intern brought a different skill, perspective, and idea to the project. Together, they built a platform capable of supporting real nonprofit operations.
✨ This is only part of the story.
In our next post, we'll share how feedback from the people actually using Eclipse continues to shape the platform.
