The Problem

It is no secret that a good mentor is like a rare gem – hard to find and very valuable. Between the sheer volume of consultancy services to sift through and high consultation rates, many people struggle to find the mentorship and guidance they need to grow their leadership skills. This leads to a large portion of the career-oriented lot unable to truly watch their careers grow despite wanting to climb that corporate ladder.

Sometimes all we need is an effective mentor.

Our Approach

Brainstorming

During our brainstorming process, it was important for us to consider which cloud service we should use for an AI chatbot. The following sessions mostly focused on which Sentient Analysis and Intent Recognition models to integrate and how to integrate them with IBM’s Watson Assistant, which was the cloud service we used. Towards the end, we discussed the results of the employed Machine Learning (ML) models with the client. 

Innovation

Post-brainstorming sessions with the client, we configured the back-end and front-end functionalities together at a competitive price.

Furthermore, we developed an interface for the client for convenient testing as a goodwill gesture.

Iteration

Through an iterative testing process we tested the shortlisted models for Sentiment Analysis and Intent Recognition and compared their results. The ones with the best results and the ability to make the entire process seamless for the user, made it to our final pipeline.

Our Solution
