Inspiration: Millions of seniors struggle to use smartphones, apps, and online services. GenLink Senior Tech Bridge uses AI to make technology accessible for everyone over 60.
What it does: A conversational AI assistant via /chat endpoint, a step-by-step tutorial generator via /tutorial, and a simplified interface advisor via /simplify. Seniors describe what they want to do, and the AI guides them in plain language.
How we built it: Python FastAPI backend + LLM integration + Pydantic models. The API accepts natural language requests and returns simple, jargon-free instructions.
Challenges: Making AI responses truly simple without being condescending. Handling the diversity of senior user needs.
Accomplishments: A working prototype accessible via REST API, ready to integrate into any mobile or web app.
What we learned: Inclusive design requires radical simplicity. LLMs are powerful allies for accessibility.
Built With: Python, FastAPI, LLM, Pydantic, Uvicorn
