Inspiration

I have participated in a number of hackathons, but I barely saw any projects that were dedicated to new parents.

Childbirth is one of the most important events in any family. New parents don't know much about pregnancy, child care, and parenting hacks and thus have a lot of questions around them.

So I decided to build Baby Care, a one-stop solution to make parenting fun and joyful.❤️

What it does

Baby Care is a chatbot that answers questions related to pregnancy, child care, mother's health, and parenting. It provides a ChatGPT-like interface and is powered by the Open AI API. It is currently available as a Telegram bot (Baby Care Bot) and on the Web (Baby Care Web).

Because it is powered by the Open AI API, you will receive answers similar to those provided by ChatGPT for free.

How we built it

I used the Python Telegram Bot library (13.4) and the Open AI API to create Baby Care Bot. I hosted my bot on Replit.

For building the Baby Care Web, I used the Gradio and Open AI APIs. I hosted it at Hugging Face Spaces.

Challenges we ran into

I actually wanted to build a discord bot, but I faced some problems regarding installation and slash commands, so I switched to telegram bot.

I also wanted the web to be a Flask application, but due to time constraints, I was unable to make the frontend. Thus, I decided to use Gradio.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of the fact that, though I had to change initial plans, I was still able to make both the web and bot interfaces.

What we learned

I learned about Conversational AI, the Open AI API, and Gradio.
