Vibeing

A one-stop solution for taking care of all your mental needs

The problem Vibeing solves

Vibeing is dedicated to helping people of all age groups to give their mind the relaxation and care that it needs. At present, there aren't many usable web platforms that include all the necessary resources and counselling at one place. Through Vibeing, we provide essential resources like podcasts, soothing music, helpful exercises along with expert consultation services. We analyze the user's mental state through a questionnaire which they have to fill while logging in. The answers of the user are converted into a PDF report and sent to a mental health professional who determines wheteher the user needs immediate ounselling or not.
The USP of our project, something that we are extremely proud of :), is a 24x7 WhatsApp Chatbot, Zuma. This chatbot has been been built using the OpenAI API to offer credible advice and suggestions to the users at any time. This chatbot is the mobile version of the one included on our website. The user can make appointments through this chatbot and also access the notes made by their respective counsellor. Additionally, the user can also request for their weekly progress report through this bot.
What's more? The user gets awarded points for completing different milestones in their mental health journey on the website. These points can be redemmed to get free counselling sessions, goodies , etc on our website itself.

Challenges we ran into

A specific challenge that we encountered was integrating the OpenAI API with WhatsApp. At one point, the code platform on which we were building the integration crashed and an error was thrown when the query to start the chatbot was given. However, we managed to figure out the problem and modified some of the code in a way that there won't be a greater load on the IDE.
