Inspiration
We wanted to make a virtual friend that you can talk to at any time because school counselors and other professionals are not always available.
What it does
Portel is a chat bot that can help you with your homework, solve general trivia, and maintain your mental stability
How we built it
We used OpenAi's GPT-3 for the chatbot, and flask, html, and css for the website.
Challenges we ran into
- Chatbot gave stupid / dumb responses.
- We had trouble saving a record of the whole conversation for the ai prompt
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- The chatbot spit out beautiful, refined sentences.
- We managed to save an entire record of the conversation for the ai prompt, so that the chatbot could build-off of previous responses.
What we learned
- How to use Flask.
- A drive to learn Svelte (a js framework)
What's next for Portel
- Licensing to big corporations to be used for improving employees' mental health.
- Create a history of user emotions tab to show how users have improved, mentally, since the start of the conversation.
