Lucidity

Inspiration

Our inspiration for Lucidity came from the growing need to support employee mental health and engagement in the workplace. Many employees struggle to express their feelings at work, and management often lacks insights into team sentiment. We wanted to bridge this gap by leveraging AI and data analytics to create a platform that fosters better communication and workplace well-being.

What it does

Lucidity analyzes emails that employees send as well as messages through Webex using an AI chatbot, Employee Helper, that responds with mental health tips and feedback. Additionally, management benefits from being able to view Engagement, Team Happiness Index, and Team Emotions based on employee interactions. Management can also use an AI chatbot, Lucidbot, to provide insight into employee sentiments.

A unique feature of Lucidity is its computer vision integration, which allows employers to assess employee engagement during video calls. This helps organizations foster a more supportive workplace by understanding employees’ emotions in real time.

How we built it

Used React and Vite for the frontend (management dashboard).
Integrated Gmail API to analyze emails after encountering challenges with Outlook APIs.
Developed AI-powered chatbots to assist employees and provide sentiment analysis for management.
Implemented computer vision models to assess engagement levels during video meetings.
Utilized Tailwind CSS for styling and UI components.

Challenges we ran into

API Restrictions: Initially invested time in integrating Outlook’s APIs but hit paywalls, forcing us to switch to the Gmail API.
Tech Stack Decisions: Figured out the best technologies to optimize efficiency and performance.
Tailwind CSS & Vite Struggles: Faced an initial learning curve but eventually improved our implementation.
API Authentication Issues: Encountered challenges with client secret keys while making API calls.
