Inspiration
When I was learning English, I usually had to use Google Translator to share my ideas in class. At that time I didn't realize how inaccurate the translations were, so it's when I found DeepL. It was much better, the translations were amazing and it was even able to fix grammar errors. But even DeepL is not good at everything, so it is when I realized that I could create a personal assistant that can understand broken English and multiple languages and at the same time work as a translator when needed.
What it does
Zama Assistant is a versatile personal assistant, capable of seamless user interaction across multiple languages. Its unique ability to understand even broken English ensures effective communication, making it an accessible and user-friendly tool. Moreover, its integrated translation feature further amplifies its utility, allowing users to effortlessly bridge language barriers.
How we built it
Using html, css, and javascript and use the OpenAI API.
Challenges we ran into
During my brainstorming, I initially planned to integrate the DeepL API into my project for grammar checking and improvement. However, as I researched the API further, I found that it required the use of a credit card for access. This requirement posed a challenge as it impeded the integration of DeepL's translation/grammar-checking capabilities into my personal assistant application. Unfortunately, while attempting to address this issue, I encountered difficulties with the OpenAI IDE. Regrettably, these technical hurdles prevented me from achieving the desired functionality for my project. As a result, my project did not reach its intended completion and was unable to provide all the functionality I had originally envisioned.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
I learned that even if you have a very solid idea in mind your project can go wrong if you don't have enough knowledge on how to use the tools you need to create your project.
What's next for Zama Assistant
I will keep working until I finish creating all the functions I had in mind.
