Challenges I ran into

One of the main challenges that you may have encountered while building MindMate is integrating the OpenAI API with the UiPath platform. This integration involves creating a workflow that sends a request to the OpenAI API to retrieve information on a given topic and then processing the response to provide a summary of the information in an ADHD-friendly format.

You may have encountered bugs or hurdles during this integration process, such as issues with API authentication, response parsing, or workflow execution. To overcome these challenges, you may have needed to rely on documentation, forums, and support from the UiPath and OpenAI communities.

You may have also encountered challenges related to designing the user interface of the MindMate website. Given that people with ADHD are easily distracted, it was important to keep the design simple and minimalist to minimize distractions. You may have needed to experiment with different designs and conduct user testing to ensure that the website was effective in meeting the needs of people with ADHD.

To overcome these challenges, you likely relied on feedback from beta testers and iterative design processes to fine-tune the design and ensure that the website was as effective as possible in meeting the needs of people with ADHD. Overall, these challenges likely required persistence, patience, and collaboration with others to successfully overcome and build a functional and effective product.
