Our Inspiration:

Problem:

Self improvement can be difficult - how do you get started? How do you know what to do? Many modern self-improvement or self-help apps can help you set goals, but don't take into account that everyone's victories look different - how can an app know how you feel about your achievements?

Our goal:

Make self care and healthy habits easy and accessible for everyone, and anyone, while taking into account the user's thoughts, feelings, and potential.

Impact and Social Good:

Our solution:

Create an app where self-care and self-improvement tasks are broken down into byte-sized pieces, and where the app sets goals based on users' self-reflections and ideas. By harnessing the power of AI which evaluates users' feelings about their personal growth, we aim to tailor user experiences to each person's goals, and make an inviting and welcoming application for users to interact with - so self-improvement is made easy.

Our impact:

We make self-care and self-improvement easier and more accessible, by giving users the tools they need to succeed.

How it Works:

How Grype works:

→ Users speak directly to the app through an AI interface, which gives users a daily survey.
→ Based on survey results and sentiment analysis of audio to determine the user's mood about their goals and daily achievements, Grype helps users set and evaluate their goals.
→ Grype’s AI interface evaluates their feelings about daily performance, and generates goals and motivational messages for users - making self improvement easier than ever.

Technical Information:

Frontend:

→ Grype has a React-based UI/UX, with special effects including icon animations to help users recognize goals and focus on their daily affirmations.
→ Users speak directly to the Grype app through a microphone interface, giving users a personalized and more intimate experience.

Backend:

→ OpenAI's Whisper model uses weak-supervision speech recognition to pass user information on to our back end.
→ Grype runs with Transformers library from HuggingFace. By using pre-trained, state of the art models, Grype comes ready to go whenever you are.
→ PyTorch runs our sentiment analysis model to determine voice tone. By using sentiment analysis, it's not only about whether you met your goals - but how you feel about them, too. Everyone's victories look different, and Grype wants to celebrate, or come up with a plan to help you reach your goals.
→ Server hosted using Linux with GPU support.

Our Learning:

New technologies:

→ UI/UX special effects,
→ Voice to text integration with sentiment analysis.

Roadblocks:

→ Voice and sentiment recognition with hardware interface,
→ Server hosting with GPUs for additional processing power.

How we achieved our goals:

→ Communication, cross-dimensional teamwork across a range of experiences and specializations, and synergy to overcome roadblocks and work towards our common goal - helping others achieve self-improvement victories.
