WebTalk

Inspiration

We were inspired by the struggles seniors face online. Our goal was to create a tool that demystifies the web for them. Imagine a tool that explains everything happening on the UI and give you a roadmap to take action step by step

What We Learned

Building WebTalk taught us about how Chrome extension works, and how we can integrate Anthropic AI models into our system. It was challenging for us, but at the end of the day, it works smoothly!

How We Built It

WebTalk started as a Python script using Selenium for web automation and BeautifulSoup for parsing. Transitioning to a Chrome extension for broader accessibility, we're incorporating Anthropic 2.1 for getting faster answers and giving users better experience.

Challenges

The main challenges were ensuring compatibility across websites, optimizing performance, and creating an intuitive UI for seniors. We also have to work on the prompts to generalize it and make it actionable.

Future Plans

We aim to enhance WebTalk with a voice model integration, making digital navigation seamless for the elderly through natural language commands.
