Inspiration
Are you in a long-distance relationship and want to send a message to your partner? Have you ever felt down and like you could use a message of support, but it's the middle of the night and you don't want to wake someone up? Or maybe you just want to remind yourself to take deep breaths when you're stressed or angry.
What it does
Using the Android app, you can type a message for a loved one for when they're feeling a certain emotion. The receiver of the message can then play it back whenever they want by telling their Google Home how they're feeling. This app allows you to send and receive messages from your loved ones, while being more in tune with your emotions and the emotions of those you love. This fosters a community of caring and support.
How we built it
We used Android Studio to make an app where you can record a message, which is uploaded to Firebase. We made an activity for Google Home that asks you how you're feeling and plays back a message uploaded to the database.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges using Dialogflow.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of creating an activity for Google Home and connecting it to an Android App to foster community.
What's next for Open Letter
We would love to use the actual sender's voice in recordings. We would also like to be able to set up the user profile and contacts more and add a sign in page.
