Inspiration
It started with our concern for the fact that older users might be reluctant to use AI because of its privacy policy. However, we noticed that this is not only an issue for people of all demographics. That’s why we created Redact so that users get transparency on how their data is being used without having to stress about the privacy of their data.
What it does
Redact checks for potentially sensitive or personal information before it sent to AI platforms.
How we built it
First, we created our objectives for what we wanted the app to do. Then, we made a flowchart for how the app was going to work and split the functions of the app into components. We each worked on different components and communicated throughout the process.
Challenges we ran into
Our main challenge was making Redact multi-platform, we wanted our project to reach a broad audience and to do that we decided to improve the accessibility by making it available for use on multiple platforms.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team is proud that we were able to successfully make Redact available across 5 different platforms.
What we learned

What's next for Redact
For the future of Redact, we want to continue the development and optimization of the platform so that we can expand its use to a larger audience. We are interested in adding potential features such as allowing parents to monitor AI usage in minors.
