Mental health is important, especially for expecting or postpartum mothers! We wanted to offer a friendly bot to help out!
Happi is a website with a chatbot geared towards helping mothers. Its aim is to direct users to certain resources depending on user’s symptoms, a Community where users can read and post questions and blogs about their experience, and Professionals that provide answers to your questions and provide informative information
We used Figma for our wireframe design, Javascript, CSS, and React.
Our biggest challenge was figuring out how to implement a chatbot with a dialogue tree. Originally, we wanted to train a machine learning AI to respond to text inputs, but later we decided to go with a more guided conversation flow. The dialogue tree chatbot took far longer than we expected it to, so we had to scale back the project's features to make the deadline.
We were able to implement a chatbot with a simple conversation flow thanks to Space10 Conversation Form and its React wrapper.
We learned about basic machine learning in Python and how it wasn't the right fit for our project, and we generally brushed up on React and design skills. Not all of us had used React before this project, so it was a good learning experience!
The chatbot function needs to be improved as well as finish the layout for webpage design. We hope we can expand this to help ease the stress of motherhood!
