Inspiration
Ever since AI took over the world I was looking to do something with it, not necessarily something complex or ground breaking, but I just felt like I wanted to take part in the current trend.
What it does
Its an iOS only app running on Apple Intelligence, that displays 3D usdz models of animals using native SceneKit and ARKit frameworks, that basically engage in conversation with the app user.
How we built it
Alone, using my background as an iOS developer, but also with a lot of help from AI.
Challenges we ran into
There are lots of challenges that I still run to, I think the AI is a bit weird sometimes and has some inconsistency in his answers, I plan to keep the app updated and improve on all of that, but for now I have a version that I'm happy enough with to release to the competition.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is my first ever time entering a competition so yeah I'm pretty proud of that.
What we learned
Even though AI helps a lot, it doesn't solve all my problems.
What's next for Talkimals: Talking Animals
Using Apple's improvements to Foundation and Intelligence modules upcoming in iOS 27 and use them to improve the app AI even further. Also add more Talkimals.
