Get Past Small Talk - Your AI-Powered Networking Assistant

OpenAI has impressed the world with ChatGPT. Networker is an AI-powered tool that aims to help you overcome the barrier of small talk when networking. By helping you remember important details about people, it aims to facilitate more meaningful conversations and build deeper connections. It is the combination of OpenAI's text prompting algorithm da-vinci, combined with both Speechly and Google APIs.

Once the Speech to text funcitonality is flushed out, we'll want to have the following features:

• Networking Assistant: Networker will take any data gathered from a conversation you've had and log it, including important details as well as important facts about the person/people you've interacted with, stored in a JSON format in a MongoDB database.
• Inquiry Assistant: Networker will gather information on you by asking rich, meaningful questions to get to know you, your connections, and help you to inquire more about life, acting as both an assistant and personal coach.

Py Scripts:

• App
  • Central Application, made using TKinter for a GUI
• Prompt
  • OpenAI's API script, pulling the text data and submitting a response.
• STT (Speech to text)
  • Using Google Cloud's speech to text API, voice data is recognized as text for input in app.py.
• TTS (Text to Speech)
  • Using Google Cloud's text to speech API, we can gather text and output speech here.
• conversation.js
  • Holds prior conversation data.

Autorization Scripts (not added to GH):

• creds.py - holds API Keys in a Python format
• google.json - holds google authorization payload

1. Push the microphone, spacebar to speak or enter into the prompt manually.
2. For your prompt, the first word you ask is important. Use the following as a guide:
• Update Strings = "update",'edit', 'modify': This is a general "Upsert" function that will add fields to an existing user, or build out a new one.
  Example Prompt: "Update Drew Piispanen - he likes vanilla ice cream."
  Example Response: "Drew Piispanen has been updated"
• General Strings = 'who': This asks Networker to give general information about a person.
  Example Prompt: "Who's Drew Piispanen?"
  Example Response: "Drew Piispanen lives in Hershey, PA. He is studying data science, and is coding the 'Networker Application'. His favorite ice cream is cookie dough."
• Reminder Strings = 'remind': This will ask Networker to remind them about a specific field of this person.
  Example Prompt: "Remind me, what's Drew Piispanen's favorite ice cream flavor?"
  Example Response: "Drew's favorite ice cream flavor is cookie dough."
3. Networker will respond with in the response textfield, to which the following prompt can audit the last response.
