The problem Saarthi solves

Saarthi makes it easier for individuals to access and engage with the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, a revered text offering insights on handling life’s challenges, cultivating mental clarity, and embracing self-discovery.
The app provides an accessible, user-friendly platform for people across the globe to explore these teachings in multiple languages, making it inclusive and adaptable to diverse audiences. Its chatbot feature further simplifies applying Gita’s wisdom to real-life situations, offering personalized guidance without requiring users to sift through extensive texts.

Key Benefits

Accessibility: Offers both audiobook and text formats in 13 languages, bringing ancient wisdom closer to a global audience.
Personalized Advice: The Sarathi chatbot can provide relevant advice, allowing users to interactively explore solutions rooted in the Gita's teachings, even on a busy schedule.

Challenges I ran into

Multilingual Implementation: Managing 13 languages required careful integration of language packs and testing for accurate translations, as well as handling text display for different script systems (e.g., Sanskrit, Urdu). I overcame this by using localization libraries and collaborating with native speakers for quality checks.
Chatbot Development: Training the chatbot to interpret real-life issues and respond based on Gita principles was challenging due to the complexity of contextual interpretation. I used natural language processing (NLP) and iteratively improved its responses by testing with diverse user inputs, refining it for better understanding and accuracy.
