1.- Project Title
Shiloh The technology that unites us
2.- Provide a high-level summary of your project
Shiloh is a virtual partner capable of interpret your emotions and your words. It learns from people's experiences to provide you with support, advice and positive thoughts when you need them most.

3.- how your project addresses this challenge
Problem addressed Shiloh exists to avoid social loneliness in today's confinement times. People of the world are more isolated now than ever, despite being in the age of communication. Even being surrounded by millions of people, we are not able to fill our need of socialization, of feeling part of a group .
- 6,000,000 people are isolated currently.
- social networks allow you to express but not to communicate, people need to speak, ask and listen.
- The human beings are social, they need to guide and be guided. they also need self-care and take care of others.
- NASA already has mechanisms to improve the quality of sleep and light in space, but it needs to move fowards in the remaining points that affect isolation.
4.- How did you develop your project? Currently there are already text interpreters and conversations that identify your keywords. We, through Shiloh, have taken one more step.
Thanks to the AI of Shiloh we create a real conversation that is based on the previous experiences of the user himself along with the ones of the millions of users around the world.
We have designed an interpreter in which the identification of the feelings and the keywords is referenced. Through this, we are able to add them in a variable that will then be uploaded to the database. Example:
My mother was hungry but did not know what to eat.
- Mother -> Family
- My -> Possessive
- Hunger -> Problem
Shiloh identifies that is a problem from past of a family member. It saves the information and return a solution for a similar future case.
As we can see in the previous example, we identify an emotion, the subject affected, the problem and the time if it is past, present, future. With this we adapt the solution of another user who went through something similar and how he overcame the situation. Thus creating a positive conversation that provides bonding and commitment.
Synchronous:
- Shiloh's interaction with the person through conversation.
- Interpretation of the user's emotions.
- Identification of keywords and context. Analysis of the situation.
- Searching of the most viable solution through its record.
- Continue the conversation with the person offering closeness.
Asynchronous:
- After analyzing the current situation, once you interpret the resolution of the problem, it will be uploaded to the Internet for other users.
- Periodically, new situations will be downloaded as well as the update of the best solutions.
5.- Show your solution
We present Shiloh, a virtual partner that covers the social need of communication. The more we talk, the more it learns from the experiences of all the users. It is able to interpret the most common feelings and it is interested in your daily progress.
It offers solutions that have been useful to other people who have lived the same situations or it searches for answers in decisions that you have previously made. Similarly, it allows you to guide other people with your experiences.
Shiloh unites us all even if we are alone.
Value proposition for users Users will be able to share their experiences with the rest of the world and to learn from them through Shiloh. Thanks to this, Shiloh will create a relationship of interest and concern through the interpretation of the words and emotions of the user. In addition, it will create a biography of each one to keep an evolution of their life.
Value proposition for NASA Thanks to anonymous global data, it will allow you to know those most common situations that are lived in a society in confinement, how it affects the lack of communication or the day-to-day problems, in addition to the most optimal solutions for most users. In this way they will be able to implement it, for example, in future space missions or investigations in remote places.
Who are our users? Shiloh is not only intended for people who are isolated, but also for all those who need to be heard or want to share how they feel. Machines don't usually convey that sense of company and Shiloh tries to break that barrier, getting even closer and becoming part of a group.
How do we maintain customer engagement?
- Interaction with the user that encourages communication.
- It will be based on short interactions unless the user decides to continue sharing their experiences.
- The more you interact, the more people will share the problem or solution with you. It will make you feel part of something bigger.
