Inspiration

I was inspired by my own challenges I faced in college and trying to create the work life balance and trying to manage my new responsibilities, while facing home sickness and getting adjusted to the harsher academic environment at college. I had almost no time to talk to anyone about my day or just rant which I think this agent could be helpful in since it allows people to talk about their day or receive tips/advice regarding their mental health.

What it does

It provides users with helpful information and resources related to mental health, mindfulness, and motivation through resources, advice, affirmations, and quotes.

How we built it

I have multiple agents for a large agent. I have a mental health wellness agent, a mindfulness agent, and a quotes agent. The mental health wellness agent has many agents each for different mental health issues which can vary in terms of the support that it can provide. Then the quotes agent also incorporates an affirmation agent which allows the agent to provide an affirmation and then a quote that goes along with the affirmation. The affirmation agent, initially analyzes the user's emotional state and provides an affirmation and this helps the quote provide a reasonable and motivational response that can resonate with the user.

Challenges we ran into

I initially ran into challenges of how to access the site since it was my first time using VertexAI. A main issue I ran into was when I tried to run the main agent with a star and there was a failure to generate information error from the agent so the way I combatted this create another agent that was identical to the first to help solve the problem.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of the fact that I have learned how to fine tune a model as this was extremely interesting and I had never done this before. I was also proud of linking together multiple agents to create a cohesive multifaceted agent that was able to handle many tasks with the ultimate same goal, to create an ease in everyone's daily life without taking too much time and/or money.

What we learned

I learned how to fine tune a model and how to select certain keywords that help the model become more accurate and personalized to what I wanted my agent "Ness" to accomplish. I also learned how to use an ai model and examples to help specify how I wanted my agent to answer.

What's next for Mindful Ness Helper

The next tasks for Mindful Ness Helper is to become more fine tuned and more personalized towards every person accessing this by separating people into their age groups to learn more about the issues that they face as well as how to better combat them in general to help users specifically.
