Inspiration
People who are going through a time often do not know where to begin. They have to deal with a lot of information that is scattered over the place confusing and sometimes not even true. We wanted to create a computer program that helps people in these situations by breaking down problems into smaller more manageable steps.
What it does
People can tell the computer program about their situation in their words. The computer program then figures out what they need gives them advice that is checked to make sure it is true suggests organizations that can help and creates a plan of action that is just for them. The computer program also reminds people to talk to a person when they need to.
How we built it
We used React and Tailwind CSS to build the part of the computer program that people see and FastAPI to build the part that does all the work behind the scenes. We also used the OpenAI API to help the computer program understand what people are saying. We used a kind of search called vector search with ChromaDB to find trustworthy information and we designed special prompts to make sure the computer program gives safe and personalized answers.
Challenges we ran into
It was hard to find information stop the computer program from giving fake answers design prompts that are safe and make sure the computer program gives helpful suggestions without replacing the advice of a real person.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we were able to build a computer program that helps people from start to finish gives answers that are based on information is easy to use and is designed with safety in mind.
What we learned
We learned that using information from sources to generate answers makes the computer program more reliable that computer programs need people to check their work and that designing good prompts is very important for getting good answers.
What's next for SupportBridge AI
We want to make the computer program work, in languages add information from trustworthy government and non-government organizations make the computer program give more personalized answers and tell people if the resources they need are available right now.
