About

We empower our users to be more financially independent by gamifying the learning journey to financial literacy through a curated planning feature, suggestions for resources, and other initiatives.

Our frontend consists of a web application with a chatbot interface that interacts with the user.

You can see the code for the API and bot (built using Natural Language Processing/machine learning) here

Built With

• Language: Javascript
• Framework: React
• Testing framework
  • End-to-end integration tests: Cypress
  • Unit tests: Jest, Enzyme
• Networking: axios (for GET/POST requests to API)
• Chatbot API: Python/Django

Design

The user can interact with the chatbot. When the user inputs text, an HTTP request is sent to the API to fetch a response through axios. The API then receives the user input, parses the text through the Natural Language Processing model, and generates JSON bot responses.
