Social anxiety/communication:
- Defining Intent: AI that can serve as a constant monitor for one’s mental state, using neurological and biofeedback (potentially through clothing, glasses, ?) and deliver alerts for risky behavior (ie; self-harm) to friends/family/police, in addition to delivering reminders for self-care/exercise/social interaction.
- Problem: People fail to take care of themselves in today’s hectic society, and fail to understand and meet their own needs.
- Solve the problem: Use machine learning to learn about what one like to do/incorporates into their lives and schedule regularly, as well as who their friends are. When biofeedback/other data deems it necessary, delivers an alert saying “maybe text _friend__ today and meet up to chat!” or “take some time to exercise tomorrow morning before ___.” There can be an algorithm that incorporates one’s biofeedback, habits, and time passed since an activity was last done to deliver these alerts.
- Elevator pitch: This wearable AI linked to an application can deliver necessary lifestyle alerts by compiling neurological and biofeedback, as well as user input regarding stress levels, schedule, and habits.
- User Jobs: Effectively incorporating self-care and exercise into their routine without losing efficiency from their day.
- User Gains: Save on time spent doing activities that are not as helpful in restoring a healthy mental state, save money on those same activities, save themselves from emotional toll.
- User Pains: Currently, users have trouble articulating their needs even to themselves. User pain is entering emotional or physical slump. Users fail to take care of themselves.
BBQ GrillmAIster:
- Defined Intent: AI that can handle the BBQ party for you. A grill to cook whatever meat and veggies you want to perfection. Rare, medium rare, well-done, it does it all! It has a library of culinary expertise that is always learning from masters of the trade. The grill machine would learn the grilling preferences of the user over time and automatically flips and seasons the meat, allowing for you to enjoy a cocktail with your friends while the GrillmAIster takes care of everything.
- Elevator Pitch: The BBQ GrillmAIster will cook your entire meal by autonomous recognition of what needs to be done to prepare your meal and implement the actions to get it ready.
- User Jobs: Have a backyard BBQ cookout party or just dinner with the family.
- User Gains: A seamless and easy BBQ experience where no one has to be isolated by grilling duty.
- User Pains: Not cooking meat right, not getting to mingle with friends because they are preoccupied grilling, busy people who don’t have time to cook.
