Inspiration

Let’s be honest here: are you procrastinating on an assignment right now? As students, we understand the appeal of putting off an assignment for weeks and then pulling an all-nighter the day before it’s due. I mean, hey, you’re here right now, so surely it’s fine to keep doing it? But, unfortunately, that’s not a sustainable way to live (trust us, we know 😔).

This adorable, Studio Ghibli and Tamagotchi-inspired (please don’t sue us T-T), productivity application is here to help! Choose a pet that will keep you company while you’re locked in💪. With the GenAI-implemented chatbot, you can even ask it homework questions! Your pet will keep you accountable. Whenever you fail to accomplish a task in the set timeframe, your pet will lose health until it eventually falls into depression. To keep it happy, you must complete your tasks and stay on track. You wouldn’t want it to be sad would you?

We were inspired by our own struggles with chronic procrastination to create this application.

What it does

This application helps keep you accountable. The AI chatbot can help answer any homework questions you might have.

How we built it

We used React Native and Typescript to build the application.

Challenges we ran into

The database T-T. We decided to use MongoDB which ended up not being compatible with TypeScript and React Native. This caused us a lot of trouble later on in the app development.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to integrate an AI chatbot into the app!

What we learned

We learned a whole new programming language, and experimented more with mobile developement.
