Memories

  • AI can read your entry and give an appropriate mood based on the entry.
  • Mood analyzer dashboard, lets you see your weekly moods. Can help make decisions to allow you to strive for a more positive moods.

What we learned, what inspired us, and challenges we faced

Inspiration

Our inspiration came from the reality of our busy lives. We often forget to record meaningful moments, and when we look back, entire weeks or months feel like a blur. We wanted to build something that:

  • Helps remember daily experiences
  • Supports mental well-being

By combining journaling with mood tracking, we aimed to create a tool that promotes a more positive lifestyle.

What we learned

  • The importance of clear and structured user stories when designing features
  • How AI can be useful for analysis and personalization
  • That tools like Backboard.io can help improve workflows by remembering and reusing relevant information, which can support more consistent AI prompts

Challenges

  • Misunderstanding requirements early on, and struggling to find relevant user stories
  • Making sure that the mood analysis was meaningful and not just a random AI feature
