Self Destress
The Project
My project is an app that is made to use AI to help people improve their mental health. It utilizes a specially prompted chatbot to help users dig deeper into the problems that they are experiencing in everyday life and potentially create a solution for those problems. I was inspired to create this because I had noticed that the mental health of the people around me, who are mostly teenagers, were changing. The changes weren’t huge, but I was able to recognize them. I thought that making this app would be a good way to hopefully change that and improve their mental health. The AI integration was used to make the app personalized to every person and every conversation, which makes it more effective than just a straight script. The most difficult portion of this was prompting the AI in a way where it would work well and work consistently. I didn’t have much experience with prompting AI in this way before so I wasn’t great at it, but I got it working in the end.
