Mous-chat

Inspiration

Helping others with their mental health in the current state of quarantine and pandemic

What it does

Anonymous and an autonomous bot that users together based on current mood their topic of choice . At any moment, if the user wants to disconnect, he enters his chosen safe word and Mousie-bot will automatically interrupt the conversation.

How we built it

Rasa bot on top of telegram UI, with sentiment analysis and Natural Language Understanding trained model

Challenges we ran into

Building the data to train the model to respond accordingly to the users, and fit stories that truly can have an impact on the user's mood.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a platform where users and feel comfortable sharing their worries, ranting about their day to other users, without ever fearing judgment. Detection of sensitive words, response with suicide prevention line. Trained a model for sentiment analysis.

What we learned

Some of the team members did not have a background in machine learning, hence this experience taught them the process of preprocessing the data, training the model, adjusting the parameters, etc.

What's next for Mous-chat

Working with mental health experts to refine and adjust the model to better help users in distress. World domination in anonymous chatbots. Deployment on WhatsApp, Messenger, Discord, Slack for companies, Webex, Teams.
