MindMenderAI

Inspiration

So the problem that we wanted to address is that some people have mental health issues such as depression or stress, but do not know what to do. The reason why we chose this project was because we personally know people with mental health problems, and we wanted to be able to help them and others like them.

What it does

Uses Chat GPT configured to help specifically to the issues that the user brings up. It provides temporary help and advice to the user, and with permission of the user, gives the addresses to some places that may be of help near the user.

How we built it

Using Python with the Streamlit tools as a frontend, Google Firebase, and ChatGPT as the backend.

Challenges we ran into

The frontend tools we used for this project has been helpful in some ways, and very limiting in others. We solved this by researching more about Streamlit and the individual tools Python provides to create a responsive and elegant frontend to our project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Integrated GoogleMaps into Chat GPT,
Integrated Google Firebase for login system
Made a frontend website that communicates with ChatGPT's API to set up a responsive website ## What we learned
Python frontends are great for easy styling, not so great for complicated features
Some projects and ideas take more time than you may initially think. Make sure not to bite more than you can chew ## What's next for MindMenderAI
Use Firebase API to create and store chat logs
Rework the frontend so it is less restrictive, giving us the ability to be more ambitious
