Inspiration

Many seniors in our lives lack strong social connection and friendships with others. Our project goal was to help combat this issue using emerging technologies​ so that they never have to spend their day-to-day life alone. This project will contribute to the support of health-care workers and care takers as they are not always able to provide the care and attention that everyone deserves

How we built it

• Frontend: Next.js with Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Google Cloud Functions and OpenAI API

Challenges we ran into

• Configuring frontend application such that it was functional and efficient
• Setting up the cloud service such that it effectively communicates with OpenAI API and format the response for the client to use

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Taking an idea that will tackles issues that are very common yet brushed under the rug and bringing it to reality
• Being able to get our foot through the door in exploring the endless possibilities AI has to offer for the world
• Having a working full-stack application with limited to no experience

What we learned

• Don't overachieve. Set more realistic goals based on what we understand
• Don't be working with a new tech stack blindly

What's next for P.E.P.P.E.R.

• Incorporating visual and responsive persona coupled with voice capabilities to humanize the chatbot​
• Incorporate feedback from our target audience when releasing future versions of the application.
