Inspiration
Our inspiration for this project came from the growing interest in AI and wanting to implement those features through voice for better interaction.
What it does
AthenaAI is a virtual AI assistant utilizing OpenAI to formulate more human-like responses as an assistant. With assistants like Siri and Alexa slowly becoming more inept, AI allows for more thorough responses.
How we built it and what we learned
We learned a lot working together, utilizing OpenAI and integrating GTTS helped us get a more deep understanding of how AI models like GPT 3.5 turbo work and how we can incorporate them into our programs.
Challenges we ran into
We had several issues, mainly installing all the necessary python packages locally to get the program to run. Execution time is also slow depending on what you ask, due to technical limitations of the GPT architecture.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to deliver a project that is functioning with the limited time we had to hack, you can engage in conversations at the moment. We are also proud of how much room there is for AthenaAI to grow and become closer to a personal everyday assistant.
What's next for AthenaAI
We want to keep expanding Athena to become a portable app where any user can utilize Athena from a touch of a button. Memory retention is one of the most important aspects right now, Athena resets every time the program is launched and previous interactions are lost. We also want to include more APIs to allow Athena to access daily weather reports, news, images and more.
