About Daily Tallies!

Inspiration

As a bunch of college students, our team's lives can become hyper focused on work very easily, and although academics are better than ever, there is a lot of time in the day to do so many additional things. To encourage a more well-rounded lifestyle, one which avoids burnout and explores the multiple lovely facets of day-to-day life, our team created Daily Tallies.

But what is Daily Tallies?

Daily Tallies is a web based app that provides users with unique ways to round out there day. New users, upon sign-up, can choose a handful specific interests that they wish to explore. Our application, which uses Anthropic's Claude AI, will then prompt them with 5 personalized daily tasks to strive for everyday. As people complete more tasks and log their days in the journal function, our application learns about the user and further targets prompts towards their desires and interests.

How it was made:

To create Daily Tallies, our team focused on three main parts: Flask/Anthropic, AWS, HTML/CSS These three parts essentially make up the core full stack of our application.

HTML/CSS is used to create the lovely user experience for our users' traversal of our website. The website layout, buttons, links, and pretty much everything else the user sees was done here.

Flask and Anthropic AI are used to manage data, customize prompts, and pass data between our database and the user. Anthropic AI, specifically, is a crucial tool in our program as it learns the user, adjusting to their needs.

Lastly, Amazon Web Services handles most of the back end using ubuntu to host a web server enabling our users to access Daily Tallies anywhere. It provides an easy and effective way to share our services with users while also providing fantastic scalability.

Challenging our team:

Openly, this project had a lot of firsts for our team. None of our team had used any of Amazon's Web Services nor had we built with any kind of AI API prior to this project. Additionally, HTML/CSS were also quite new to many of us. Overall, it was a lot of new technology for our team to explore, but ultimately, we released a product we are quite happy with.

In the making of Daily Tallies, we managed to successfully set-up a remote server to host our application, use HTML/CSS to create a pleasant user experience, and use the Flask framework as well as Anthropic API to create a truly personalized user experience that also achieved our vision of encouraging a more well-rounded life style.

Up next for Daily Tallies:

  1. Acquiring a domain name
  2. Further polishing of User Experience
  3. Expanding into a mobile app
  4. Increasing the amount of "Game-ification" to promote a healthy life style
  5. Increasing back-end security
