Inspiration
In my NUS hostel lifts, there are 2 anti-vaping posters side by side. One says "speak up, reach out" for support to quit vaping, and the other says "one puff, your future cancelled." It's pretty misaligned for anyone who actually wants support but doesn't want their future cancelled. The way health education is done seemed rather bizarre to me and that inspired me to build resi.
What it does
resi is an AI agent that empowers local youth to manage their health within Singapore's unique healthcare landscape. Culturally aware, emotionally intelligent, and built with youth-specific protections, resi scaffolds into two youth-friendly avatars — Ree and See — that speak to what young people actually want from an AI.
How we built it
The conceptualization was the hardest part. It took thorough research into what health literacy even means, which AI tools in the space have worked and which haven't, and what youth specifically need and want from an AI, then a lot of time figuring out how to weave all of that into a coherent agent.
Challenges we ran into
Making sure resi spoke the language of our youth.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The thorough research behind why resi works, and how youth-friendly it actually feels.
What we learned
The thought process behind building audience-specific AI agents.
