Inspiration

In our increasingly online world, we often find ourselves yearning for genuine connections. Chatbots with AI can reply to your messages, but they lack a human touch. CozyChat aims to increase its humanity, build a deeper connection, and offer helpful insights to users based on their MBTI personality type.

What it does

CozyChat listens to you, provides emotional support, understands you, and gives you insight to your personality. Moreover, you can choose to connect with other people around the world with the same personality type to talk through similar issues and motivate each other.

How we built it

We built CozyChat with Node.js and Amazon Web Services. We programmed an AWS Lambda function that integrates with DynamoDB and indico API. Finally, we make use of Amazon and indico's in-house natural language processing for sentiment analysis and persona analysis.

P.S. our website is on .tech.
