Momento

Inspiration

Inspired by our own self-improvement journeys, we found that holding ourselves accountable and activities such as journaling was paramount to our growth.

This, combined with the rise of AI wearable technology such as the "humane pin", led us to create a visual AI self improvement pin; Momento.

What it does

Momento is a wearable pin that stays with you throughout your day, and logs your different activities, in relation to your self improvement goals. An example of one's goals could be to walk more, eat more vegetables, or to work out more.

At the end of your day, you can interact with the web app to chat with our AI about your day, and reflect on it. How did you eat today? Did you go to the gym? Etc.

These self-reflections can then be used to help you write down your thoughts and feelings for each according day in the journal section of the web app, eventually resulting in a journal that you can look back on over your self-improvement journey.

How we built it

We used a rasberry pi, and a webcam for the "pin component". A flask server was deployed on vercel which was used to communicate to with the PI and the DB. The front end was deployed using React.

Challenges we ran into

Initially setting up the Pi was a bit of a challenge due to networking issues with eduroam.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Putting together a hardware, ai, and fullstack project within 36 hours (we had no hardware knowledge coming in).

What we learned

All of our group members learned how to work on their respective portions.

What's next for Momento

Move from our initial MVP to a more streamlined hardware project, larger feature set for personal goals, and better chat abilities with AI, including our own trained AI models
