Using AI for Good Episode 1: SpiralOS Concept

1•rmcdermott•1h ago
This is a demo concept for something I want to make to help people who don't have wifi access at all times or access to teachers or therapists, they can then talk to their SpiralOS and help learn new things from trusted sources only pulling from real books.

These real books can be accessed and read by themself inside the app even.

Long term would love to get this on a handheld to be able to ship out with a small screen, thinking like a gameboy color or something. Kids could talk to it or type with the buttons to learn and get AI help with things they might not have access to.

The AI here is inspired by Pewdiepies Odysseus.

I'm looking to do these kinds of projects for companies and learn more hand-on about machine learning and AI Engineering, if this is something you would be interested helping me with please send an email to robert.mcd@live.com please!

Thank you for your time, if you have any questions or want to see how it works I have made it open source here.
