KINNECT is a mobile app designed to reduce loneliness by creating deeper connections among families through a private, digital space where you can capture, share, and relive memories.

At its core, KINNECT allows users to create "StoryBooks" where they can document personal experiences through audio, video, and written formats.

The app’s main goal is to strengthen relationships, reduce loneliness, and preserve family legacies by turning everyday moments into lasting memories.

The platform integrates advanced AI technologies for personalized prompts, memory categorization, and emotional analysis to enhance the storytelling experience, which is exactly what our goal was in this project.

The solutions found helped us deliver a successful product using AI Ideation, AI Build and AI Delivery.

We used:

• Natural Language Processing (NLP) - analyzing user-generated text and detecting emotional tone and key themes
• Machine Learning Algorithms - dynamic personalization of prompts and adaptive learning from user interaction
• Graph Analytics - identify connections between family members and shared memories for prompt generation.
• Multimedia Processing - analyze audio and video content for emotional recognition and memory categorization
• Sentiment Analysis - integratedinto the AI to gauge emotional context and adjust prompts accordingly.

The Red Sea International Film Festival, an annual event showcasing global cinematic talent, is dedicated to celebrating the rich cultural landscape of the Red Sea region.

The festival's website provides detailed information about the films, events, and program schedules, but the organizers sought to enhance the festival experience for their audience and guests by creating a mobile app.

Challenges:

• festival attendees were limited to accessing information through the website or physical ticketing points
• enable push notifications for timely announcements and updates
• biggest challenge during development was the tight timeline (2 months)

Solutions

Thanks to strong collaboration between our development team and the partner’s team, we were able to meet the deadline and deliver the project successfully, ensuring that the festival could offer an enhanced experience for its attendees right on time.

In the first 10 days after its launch, the app achieved over 10,000 downloads.

Technologies

Flutter: providing a fast and responsive cross-platform experience

Figma: for a design that ensures a user-friendly interface that matched the festival’s brand

Firebase: employed for real-time features and notifications, ensuring that users received up-to-date information directly through the app

ClassLink Audit Center is a web-based platform designed to simplify and streamline the evaluation process for education leaders. It tackles the common pain points associated with traditional evaluations as:

• Storing sensitive data;

• Difficulty finding and organizing necessary files;

• Inability to effectively track feedback;

• Time-consuming data gathering for external evaluators;

• Finding qualified evaluators to gain valuable external insights.

The initial goal for the Audit Center was to assist schools with internal audits, particularly cybersecurity assessments.

But during development, valuable user feedback revealed a broader need:

• Higher relevance: User feedback highlighted a wider applicability for the tool beyond internal audits. Educators expressed a strong desire for functionalities like creating custom rubrics and checklists, utilizing pre-built templates, and tracking progress over time.

• Data security concerns: The need for a secure platform to store sensitive data and manage access levels for educators and evaluators became crucial.

Based on user feedback, the requirements expanded, therefore an agile approach and close communication were essential for the final success of the product.

By being in touch with the educators and prioritizing functionalities considered essential by them, our team successfully designed and integrated features like:

• Custom rubric and checklist creation;

• Access to pre-built templates;

• Progress tracking capabilities;

• Secure data storage with granular access control.

In the development process, the backend of the app is built on Node.js using the Express framework and the frontend is built with Angular and NX, a framework for building Angular applications. Sequelize acted as an object-relational mapper (ORM) for interacting with the MySQL database, while user authentication was handled by Passport.js and AWS provided cloud infrastructure for hosting the application. As for design, we used Figma for creating the user interface.
