Inspiration

Rather than teach Spanish the awkward, formal way, by making learners learn all the correct grammar, we thought to ourselves: the best way of learning is by doing. With this app, students of any level, hoping to learn whatever dialect of Spanish they desire, can learn conversational Spanish skills through talking like people do online.

What it does

Our app uses a DeepSeek model to summarize any chat history and passes it alongside the user's messages to our chatbot, which is powered by Google Gemini. Gemini helps to create an authentic experience for the user, alongside helpful guides on Spanish vocabulary for words that users might not know.

How we built it

We began by constructing our two-model system of a Gemini chatbot and DeepSeek summarizer, before moving on to creating a Spanish-to-English dictionary to help break down sentences, word by word.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into several issues regarding storing user information in the database, as well as getting some things, such as the form requests, to work properly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of our 2-model system, which allows us to simulate a more authentic user experience whilst preserving fast response times and informative outputs.

What we learned

We learned how to combine natural language processing tasks with large language models to create an immersive learning experience.

What's next for Palabros

We plan on refining the models used in this application and potentially integrating AgenticMail in order to have conversations via email.
