Registering an employee - Sending Image
Face recognition and marking attendance

Inspiration

UseCase 1: Small home healthcare providers face difficulty in tracking their employees presence at the customers location. Big players like Portea or Apollo can afford systems to to that. But for these small players, why not have a simple solution which using existing app to do the tracking. UseCase 2: At my current office (We have around 100 people), everyday we sign in a register when coming and leaving office. This is a manual process. Just wanted to eliminate this with least cost possible. [Did not want to invest in any new hardware like bio-metric or RFID systems].

What it does

The person just needs to send a photo of the employee/themselves to a Chat Bot [name :: EasyAttendanceBot]

How we built it

We have used Telegram Bots API (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) and created a chat bot named "EasyAttendanceBot" (https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@EasyAttendanceBot).

Challenges we ran into

Integrating face recognition technology with Telegram Bot.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have made a solution which would be really useful for SMB's out there...without any new investment and using existing things (SmartPhone and an app which is already installed in their mobiles).
