Abstract

This app is made to help reduce the high percentage of suicide [1]. The whole app is designed for easy use and fast stress relief. The overall idea is to share the problems anonymously that are causing the stress; therefore the user wouldn't need to worry about any of the things being connected to the user's personal life. Some systems I implemented to achieve this are OpenAI, anonymous chat, gratefulness list, and colored theme [2]. By researching color combinations that could help the brain relieve stress, I was able to use the color set to design the overall app. I created ten prompts that could be the source of stress and tested what solution the chatbot replies. The most important result I found was that the chatbot's reply on a sense of understanding what the user is going through. My idea gives users a better experience because it is easy to use and provides more privacy since some sources of stress might be sensitive.
