LIFE DETOX

🎭 Inspiration

Every day people put on a brave face and are expected to be happy as if it is a personal responsibility. Unfortunately, we are simply a product of our community, and if we don’t foster an environment that supports positivity and weeds out negatively. However, toxic positivity is possible where no one can be constructively honest. Our system is designed not to delete negative comments but what can be considered destructive criticism or harassment. Once an environment is stable, the individual can take the initiative can make reasonable and positive changes that can have an instant effect on mood. Examples: diet, exercise, positive affirmations, healthy coping strategies, reasonable targeting, and empathetic learning.

🧼 What it does

We have prepared three tools for cleaning up your life:

1. We developed a website using Velo by Wix for removing hostile forces from your life.
2. On our site, you can set up our discord bot to monitor your discord channel. This bot understands contexts using Cohere and then deletes toxic comments.
3. A chat is not for determining whether or not your relationship is toxic powered by Twilio.

☕️ How we built it

First we had to learn how to create a discord bot, so we followed a tutorial on how to make a basic bot, and then used the lessons from that video to create a bot that suited our needs. Since we also had to integrate Cohere into this bot, we had to learn how to teach the Cohere ML algorithm how to reliably predict what we were looking for by tweaking the examples we fed it until it started to properly moderate according to our standards (we figured this out entirely via their documentation, which was nice to be able to do). To create the bot, we used Discords Developer portal to create a bot profile, and then added all of the bot's functionality into the cloud IDE replit. From there it was just trial an error with test Discord server's until we got it right. We then created a chat bot that fallow our toxic relationship questionnaire and help the user understand what is not ok in a relationship.

😓 Challenges we ran into

Defining positive negatively and negative positivity. Criticism is an important part of grown. It felt strange to consider the profound great effects of hearing negatively but the mind can soak up these bad thoughts so it need to be they are used in moderation. Each example contains the text itself and the corresponding label, or class. The minimum number of examples required is five per class.

🎓 Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm most happy with our team's evolution. I think we all had fun and learned so much. This was our first time using Cohere, and we found it intuitive.

⏭ What's next for LIFE DETOX

We would enjoy the creation of BOT for other community platforms.
