Inspiration: Friend AI was inspired by chatbots that are designed by mental health at its core like rocket health, wysa- they tackle the issue posed by non-availability of therapists or psychiatrists 24/7 and the ability to reach every person dealing with mental health issues due to stigma
What it does: Friend AI is a digital well being sanctuary that allows users to chat, journal, write letters, check mood analytics, post community feedback. It is designed in a way that extreme situations are flagged and redirected to the clinical directory when necessary.
How we built it: it is built through AI studio google , antigravity, python & html mix and trained on CBT models for chatbot
Challenges we ran into- We had trouble detecting which trigger words should be flagged for human intervention but we had a neurologist on board who guided us through the process
Accomplishments that we're proud of- We had a chance to visit the Google HQ and learn antigravity and stitch to build the app.
What we learned- We learned that Friend AI is in a risk filled field but much required in this era especially with the suicide rates rising in India among the Gen-z
What's next for Friend AI- Currently we are fund raising, pithcing to different hackathons and building much better features based on feedback
