Vinchi AI

Inspiration

Human beings face a lot of conflicts every day and sometimes it doesn't make sense to invite someone for a mediation, humans usually do this only for something very serious. Meanwhile population became much more polarised and even trivial things now could end up in fights. My app solves this.

What it does

It creates a collaborative chat between two humans and AI mentor that can work with participants in openly or secretly using a simple, but comfortable chat interface.

How we built it

I built a simple messaging backend which routes messages between participants and AI, connected GPT-4 as AI assistant and created a prompt (~3k symbols) to nail it's performance.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge is to introduce a concept of a privacy to a GPT and avoid leaking private information between participants. The most complicated part was when someone asks AI to talk to another participant in private and came back with a result.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I like how polished this task turned out: it works well, it feels as an genuine assistant while keeping participants aware that this is just a machine. Secret messages turned out to be very powerful tool for conflict resolving since you can have your personal private assistant in the context of the dialog which dramatically improved experience since you can avoid direct confrontation and ask assistant for a support first.

What we learned

GPT is not really trained for privacy and i think some fine-tuning might be needed for best performance. Sometimes GPT still answer in a public chat on a secret message (haven't seen anything critical being leaked though).

What's next for Vinchi AI

I am hoping building a momentum to launch a proper product with some enterprise as a tool for workplace disputes since conflicts in a workplace is a daily problem. Eventually this would allow me to market Vinchi in a b2c market where number of conflicts per "entity" is much smaller, but effects are more dramatic for quality of life of participants. Also it can easily be scaled up for more participants and be used for collaborative discussions in general. In the end we can have a robust tool for debating, which can also being used as a learning tool.
