Inspiration
Both my team member and I are part of a campus ministry called the Navigators, and we had the thought to build an app that would help guide people in praying through the Psalms.
What it does
Our application takes in a sentence or two from a user on their emotional state and current situation. It returns 3-4 Psalms passages for them to pray through and meditate on. .
How we built it
Blood, sweat, and lots of crying over failed Azure deployments
Challenges we ran into
We had difficulty accessing free Azure credits via our Clemson accounts. We ended up utilizing a personal subscription to get the Azure services operable. We struggled to deploy to host the files for our website properly to Azure App Services. We successfully our code from GitHub to Azure App Services, but we failed to get the files to populate properly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully built a pipeline to process user input regarding their circumstances and emotional state and match it to 2-3 Psalms that they can use to pray through and meditate on. We are really excited that we were able to build this tool and would like to continue working on this project to produce something that is generally available to Christians in the community.
What we learned
Learned about what the development process can look like when AI and humans collaborate to build a project. We made substantial use of Amazon's Kiro, Claude Sonnet, and ChatGPT 5 to iterate through ideas and produce our project's structure.
What's next for Prayer Companion in Azure
Hopefully getting the deployment to properly display the files in our GitHub repository.
