Enabling Conversations with a Persona for Illiterates
Summary

Dive into the world of AI to create a voice chatbot that bridges the digital divide for illiterates. Your challenge is to craft an intelligent and empathetic digital companion that can converse naturally, offering a seamless and confidential communication experience.

Requirements
  1. Support multiple local languages and dialects to enhance accessibility.
  2. Include features for continuous context understanding in conversations.
  3. If possible, utilise open-source models for reasoning, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech (e.g., Mistral, coqui-ai TTS).
  4. Incorporate user feedback mechanisms to improve conversational quality over time.

Submission Guidelines

  1. Figma (Optional): Provide a link to your Figma design / prototype for your project.
  2. GitHub Repository: Provide the link to your GitHub repository containing all the relevant source code and project files.
  3. Deployed Link: Share the link to the deployed version of your project. For web applications, consider hosting on platforms like Netlify or Heroku. If it's a mobile app, upload the APK to Google Drive and provide a public link.
  4. Walkthrough/Presentation: Create a concise 2 to 5-minute maximum screen recording. Walk through key features, functionalities, and any unique aspects of your project. Clearly articulate how users can interact with and benefit from your solution. Ensure your presentation covers essential details without exceeding the time limit.
