Do you have the GUTS? 2018

Goldman Sachs Challenge

Goldman Sachs advertised a challenge to Build an interesting personnal assistant.

The Annoyatron

We won 1st place in the Goldman Sachs challenge :star:! After winning the previous year’s challenge, we took the prize home again!

Our personal assistant is rich with text to speech, speech recognition, and image processing for giving advice on weather, sleep schedules, and more! However, with a twist… The Annoyatron’s number 1 goal is to frustrate and annoy its users through pestering the user to go to bed after dark, witty comments about the weather, and cheeky responses!

Our app combines image processing, weather query APIs, speech recognition, and text-to-speech.
