Medi8: AI-Powered Relationship Mediator

Inspiration

Relationships can be complicated, and conflicts often escalate because people struggle to communicate effectively. We were inspired to create Medi8, an AI mediator that listens to both sides, provides unbiased insights, and guides couples toward resolution.

What We Built

Medi8 is an app that:

• Listens to both parties in real-time or via chat.
  
• Analyzes conversations to identify key points of conflict.
  
• Provides unbiased review and actionable suggestions.
  
• Guides couples through a structured mediation process.
  

The AI leverages pretrained LLMs with custom pipelines and RAG vector databases for contextual understanding.

How We Built It

• Mobile App: Built with React Native for cross-platform compatibility.
  
• Backend: Managed via Firebase and Effector for state management.
  
• AI Integration: Pretrained LLMs were adapted with custom pipelines and integrated with a RAG vector database for knowledge retrieval.
  

Challenges

• Bias in AI: Ensuring neutrality required careful testing of custom pipelines.
  
• Understanding context: Subtle emotional cues were difficult to capture accurately.
  
• User trust: Convincing users to rely on AI in sensitive situations required transparency and clear reasoning.

What We Learned

• Conflict resolution requires empathy and context awareness.
  
• Pretrained LLMs can be effectively adapted with custom pipelines for sensitive applications.
  
• Iterative testing and user feedback are key to improving AI tools for real-world use.

Medi8 demonstrated that AI can enhance understanding and help couples communicate better.
