What I Built 🛠️
A WhatsApp bot which gives you recycling ideas at your fingertips.
WhatsApp is such a popular and convenient platform, that almost everyone has it. Just message the bot and tell it what you want to recycle.
It works with text as well as images 🖼️✨
Motivation
Often times while cleaning my house, I come across stuff I don't need anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to just snap a picture with the most used app on my phone and get instructions on how to recycle it? Well, think no more...
Demo📱

Currently the app is running in a sandbox environment.

Even works with images!
Twilio and AI ✨
I used the Twilio Messaging API to setup communication through WhatsApp. I've used Google Cloud Vision API to detect what object the sender has captured. Then I've engineered a prompt and fed that to Open AI's GPT 3.5 Turbo to get instructions on recycling the object.
