Helping the world fight COVID.

Inspiration

The problem it solves:

India is facing severe shortage of COVID-19 resources. A lot of public are using twitter to share needs and requirements about the COVID resources. But due the number of tweets it is impossible for the needy tweets to get appropriate tweets.

Top #Trending Tweets :

  1. #IndiaNeedsOxygen
  2. #remdevisir
  3. #Plasma

So, There is a need of hour to help the users with the requirements.

We have deployed a Twitter Bot , @CovidMessiah. It will instantly comment back with RELEVANT & VERIFIED information of the required OXYGEN, PLASMA , REMDEVISIR & other COVID requirements.

What it does

We have deployed a Twitter Bot. @CovidMessiah will instantly comment back with relevant & useful Tweets.

How we built it

By using Twitter API , DialogFlow , Python , Google cloud.

Challenges we ran into

The first and foremost challenge is to get twitter developer access. We applied for it on friday and got the access on Saturday evening. We then started hacking. It was a challenge for us to train a NLP model and deploy it with accuracy in such a short time but we did it working full saturday night. Still there are some challenges about reading the api and commenting back it to the user. Also we do keep into mind the twitter terms and conditions so that our bot don't get banned.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

There is no social media bot like CovidMessiah. Pre-existing solutions are a third place going solutions

What we learned

Constant motivation and desire to keep innovating is the KEY. The state is in grave danger. We need to step us and help others.

What's next for CovidMessiah

To Scale it up. Develop Universal Platform @CovidMessaih. Introducing many other helping features. Make this project world wide success. Debugging.
