Inspiration

Journalling takes a lot of effort so most people stop doing it after some time, with AI this can become effortless and we can turn unstructured input into structured insights. Basically imagine Jarvis but for your health.

What it does

Takes unstructured input (text, voice, images) and records pre defined metrics to help you visualise and understand your health trends. The agent will take your input and try to extract as much structured information as it can without your involvement, you simply tell it about your day and then check the charts for visualizations, or you can also ask it to help you understand your data and draw conclusions based on your health trends. It also allows exporting all of your data and you can easily share it with a healthcare provider to provide valuable insight into your recent health trends.

How we built it

We focused on the different aspects that contribute to one's health. Based on that we knew what to track and we also knew the biggest pain points in manual journalling (takes a lot of effort). Therefore we equipped the AI agent with tools to actually record structured data (inspired by coding agents) and also to access the stored data to deliver actionable insights. We ideated a lot on the concept and then quickly prototyped using AI coding tools, we focused a lot on the user experience and the pain points we want to solve before diving into the code.

Challenges we ran into

It was not trivial to equip the AI with the tools to record the structured data and also the visualization was a bit tricky, we also needed to come up with UX flows for different edge cases. In the end we managed to get around these by structuring the metrics we record which helped improve the agent's performance.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The overall flow of recording the metrics feel very natural, and we were surprised to see that it works in multiple languages and many different real life scenerios that we have tested.

What we learned

Its really important to first understand the problem you are trying to solve in detail and then start iterating on that (especially true now with AI coding tools speeding up that part)

What's next for Habitus

We would like to extend the functionality of the recording tools as well as adding some quality of life improvements that we did not have time for. During the development we have realised that each of us could use a tool like this, so we are planning to further develop the app and perhaps publish it for testing.
