Inspiration

Many women in industry struggle to communicate their thoughts and ideas assertively. Assertiveness can also improve your mental health and improve stress levels (Mayoclinic). Being passive gives the impression that your thoughts and feelings aren't as important as others, and for women, people of minority, and individuals struggling with mental health issues, these thoughts and feelings should definitely be voiced

What it does

Input your text into the text box to analyze it to determine your tone and count of passive words and phrases. Hovering over select phrases will give tips on how to improve your text to be more assertive. Track your tone over time to determine how you have improved your writing techniques over time.

How We built it

We created a python backend that uses IBM Watson and a database we created to analyze the tone and assertiveness of the text input. We also used a React frontend to display the text and statistics on the web.

What's next for Assertify

Creating an AI model to create a more extensive database for passive words and phrases. Adding an audio translator to enable analysis of speech techniques.
