Inspiration
Shizen is an amazing bot that can help you know more about animals, and plants. It can help connect you with animals more easily and meaningfully than ever before.
I love animals and my love for them has made me create this project.
What it does
You can simply chat with it and tell about what you love, what you do and what interests you then Shizen will find an animal that matches everything you told! It will also tell you more about that animal, how is it endangered by our activities, a crazy snap and how you can help protect it!
How we built it
I used MLH Node.js hackathon starter kit to create it. I also used Cohere to introduce NLP into it.
Challenges we ran into
A couple of them. At the end while submitting, I was still left out connecting the api I built and the frontend where I ask users for their info. It was a large project I believe and needed much more time to complete but still I'm happy to complete 90% of it within 8 hours of hacking (I was in party-mood yesterday for new year so could get only 8 hours to build it).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I developed 90% of the project with nice UI and complete backend within 8 hours, so I'm happy about it.
What we learned
I learnt how to bring ideas into reality so quickly and amazingly Thanks MLH!
What's next for Shizen
I will complete the whole thing tomorrow and publish it. I will also share it with my friends and social media and help us save more and more animals.
