ErosLink

An AI wingman to reimagine your love, one text at a time.

Inspiration 🏹

ErosLink - the Greek god of love combined with tech - now coming to you as an AI wingman!

Modern dating platforms focus only on appearances (Tinder) or require you to read long, over-curated profile descriptions (Hinge). While differences tend to attract, long-term compatibility comes down to the people’s similarities.

At ErosLink, we wanted to be the platform that combines the passion of Eros with the connectivity of modern technology!

What it does 💘

tl;dr: ErosLink connects you with a match with respect to your inputted info; then, you enter a chat with an AI-moderator (aka wingman) to help you and your potential partner's conversation flow well : )

ErosLink first asks you for your info i.e. interests, favourite movies, etc. Then, it uses graph theory to identify similarities between you and a potential partner and links you to a chat. From there the surprise begins…

I.e. David wants to find some love and he starts using ErosLink

David has entered the chat.

David: Hiiii!

Shrad: Hey!

David: How you doing?

Shrad: I’m ok. Yeah.

David: Yeah.

Bot: Psst. It’s kinda awkward… fun fact: both of y’all love fencing!

Shrad: Oh really??

David: Yup! I’ve been doing it since 5 as a sabre! I think it’s rly fun cuz …

You get it. Our AI moderated, powered by VoiceFlow and Groq LLM, creates conversation starters / fun facts based on your and your potential partners’ inputs at the start. That way users can more easily open up with each other and perhaps find a match!

How we built it 💌

In the front-end we used react native for a seamless experience.
In the Back-end, we used Node.js, Express, neo4j, socket.io.
For AI/NLP: Groq & VisionFlow

Challenges we ran into 🥺

We pivoted our idea at 2 pm yesterday, after a fuel-filled 14 hours of working on a different project. Despite our limited experience, we managed to entirely change our project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🥰

We came in and finished our project! (Fuelled by adrenaline and coffee)

What we learned 🫰

Pretty much everything from scratch!
Since most of us were beginners to building a project at this scale, we were often quite lost learning new topics i.e. useEffect and useState in React!
We also learned the art of powernapping 30 min to 1 hour is much better than 3 energy drinks!
