Our app uses custom Machine Learning models trained with our handmade datasets to assist the user with sending messages. Based on your relation with the recipient, the app analyses the sentiment behind the message before altering the user. The app implements IBM Watson, Twilio, Flask, and statistical machine learning through Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).
