talkPoetry

Inspiration

I have had this idea since middle school. like a device that one can tap, like alexa and one can discuss poetry with it. like this can be useful in retirement homes. where retirees maybe don't remember much from recent memory but they still remember stories and poetry they read when they were young

What it does

It is a voice based app with a very simple interface. any information that is not related to poetry talk is removed and not used for personalization. AI voice is changed every 2 dialogues turns so as users will not make any personal connections with it.

How we built it

I used codex and gpt-5.6-luna for responses. gpt-4o-mini-tts for transcribing.

Challenges we ran into
