Inspiration:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were stuck in their homes. As social beings, many people started suffering from depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. Speaking up about mental health is still stigmatized, and we must address this issue more seriously. Later, OpenAI came up with their own chatbots that were creating wonders! People were shocked all over the world considering its capabilities. So, we got inspired to create a project based on AI and pitch our project idea.

What it does

It is an AI-powered chatbot that acts as a friend as well as a counselor for addressing mental health problems and helping people overcome them.

How we built it

We used the ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo Engine to create this Chatbot. We connected our backend to the OpenAI's servers and fine-tuned the model using custom datasets.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into several challenges; one of them was AI was not able to remember the previous chat history. We also encountered problems related to the integration of Whisper API so we could interact with our AI model by voice. We are still working on it, and we plan to overcome it like other tough challenges

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to make a memory of the previous interactions.

What we learned

backend and frontend development API connection Fine-tuning ai models creating data sets

What's next for MindTher

Collaboration with mental health organizations and foundations to gather better data sets. Build mobile applications. Better User interface

I was deeply involved in the process of refining our chat model. I spent a lot of time testing it thoroughly and identifying areas where it needed improvement. I even tried to trick it a bit to make sure it wouldn't give any inappropriate responses. This led us to put in place some important checks and validations.

We also put a lot of effort into fine-tuning our model, especially when it came to addressing queries and offering support related to mental health. This was a crucial aspect for us. I took part in creating a special dataset, making good use of open-source resources, and even got some volunteers to test out the chatbot and give us feedback.

On top of that, I had a hand in shaping the user interface to make sure the overall experience is as smooth and user-friendly as possible. It's been a real team effort, and I'm proud of the progress we've made.

I connected OpenAi GPT API With Najumul. I finetuned two gpt-3.5 turbo models 1 using an open source dataset made available by Umich (Worked with Shirshendu) and another one by using a data set created by gpt-4. I created a dataset with 199 rows using different chat scenarios, including conversation start, how to handle critical situations like suicide, and many others with diverse prompts and a variety of responses. Najmul created a primary UI and I was able to help him by updating some of his UI adding new components and and making it look modern and professional. I was able to contribute to different areas of the project and help the team members.
