The problem Mentorify solves

Accessibility Barrier: Traditional mentorship programs may not cater to individuals with disabilities, leading to exclusion from valuable guidance and support networks. Mentorify breaks down this barrier by providing a platform where everyone, regardless of disabilities, can connect with mentors and mentees of their choice.

Limited Availability of Mentors: Finding a mentor who aligns with one's goals, interests, and availability can be challenging. Mentorify solves this problem by offering a diverse pool of mentors and ensuring 24/7 availability through its WhatsApp bot.

Lack of Personalization: Generic mentorship programs may not address the specific needs and aspirations of individuals. Mentorify's AI-driven Resume Builder and Course Builder personalize the mentorship experience, tailoring learning paths and professional development resources to each user's unique goals and skillsets.

Absence of Realistic Mentorship Experiences: In situations where mentors are unavailable, traditional mentorship programs may fail to provide realistic learning experiences. Mentorify leverages deepfake technology to simulate mentor interactions, ensuring mentees still benefit from engaging and authentic guidance.

Challenges we ran into

Integration of Accessibility Features: Incorporating over 6 accessibility features into the platform posed technical and design challenges. Ensuring that these features seamlessly enhanced user experience for individuals with disabilities required thorough testing and iteration.

Implementing Deepfake Technology: Developing realistic deepfake simulations of mentors teaching demanded significant computational resources and expertise in artificial intelligence. Overcoming technical hurdles while ensuring the ethical use of this technology was a priority.
