YOU
An advanced chat tool that is you.
Built by : Keerthana, Vivek | GitHub Repo
We've all used GMail and it's incredibly advanced features (smart autocomplete, auto
identification of potential links, etc.). Tools like these are so ubiquitous these days, and help in
making a lot of our tasks easier. Some of these have trickled down to personal chats (spell checks
etc.), but are not nearly as powerful as features available on proprietary platforms. At least nothing
private and free. So, hundreds of thousands of small businesses that use whatsapp or other messaging
apps to conduct business cannot use these powerful tools. Let alone billions of regular users.
That's what we wanted to build. a tool that seamlessly integrates into how you do business already, and
make communication delightful!
"You" can fix this!
You helps individuals and small businesses improve their responses (speed and quality) to
customers! It gives you auto-generated prompts for quick responses. It also gives you sentiment scores
for message-threads so that you can focus on the most pressing messages - especially if the same account
is used by multiple business owners. Finally, it auto generates calendar invite links so that you can be
on top of all upcoming meetings and appointments.
The best thing? You runs locally and is completely private! You lets you train a generative model that
can mimic your personal style, and use it as an autocompletion tool. Currently, You trains on WhatsApp
chat history, and offers autocomplete suggestions on WhatsApp Web via a Chrome extension. This can be
extended to train and autocomplete on more personal communication apps (Messenger, email, slack,
Twitter). You absolutely do not have to commit to any other expensive and non-private CRM app.
- Autocomplete/Response Prompts (Powered by DistilGPT2) - Completely private and free, using data across multiple platforms. An autocomplete that truly reflects you.
- Sentiment Tracking (Powered by Expert.ai) - So that you can get to the most pressing issues first. You could also simply track being more positive over time :)
