Comment 1

Inspiration

Finding your buddy, either male or female, can be a pain in the ass! Fake profiles are luring around the internet and finding the right buddy for your individual personality nearby is really difficult! With our product, fake profiles are history and our matching algorithms (mayba AI?! - who knows) finds your best match in a second by analysing real world bank transactions with the Deutsche Bank API. Bank transactions doesn’t lie!

What it does

The DB Buddy Finder analysis your Bank account with all transactions. It then calculates a buddy score based on the Location, Age, Income and all made transactions for the past year between you and other Buddy Finder users nearby while your private data stays private. The Match with the highes Score is now your Buddy! Write him, we're 100% sure you will like him! You can start a conversation with your buddy and feel free to meet or date during lunch or dinner!

How we built it

We started with a basic Android App and developed a node server for the matching algorithm. The Node server grabs the users data and analysis it. The Chat is based on Google Firebase with Realtime data.

Challenges we ran into

Grab the users data and analysis it. Calculate the Buddy score as accurate as possible and saving only as less data as needed for matching our buddies!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A working Matching app with a running chat and node server!

What we learned

The Deutsche Bank api has bugs

What's next for DB Buddy Finder

Integrate Automatic scheduling for your buddies for lunch or dinner. Adding more data to our matching algorithm like solvency. Machine learning with AI! Put all users in a specific group (like Stocktraders group etc.) Improve interest exraction from the transaction data.
