Might Parrot
a shoulder top mechanical agent that motivates the user through its quirky speech and character
Project team: Ethan Chang, Quincy Kuang
Introduction
We live in an era where dopamine addiction, short attention spans, and a general lack of motivation have become widespread challenges. A major contributor to this phenomenon is the way technology and social media are designed—easily accessible and highly addictive by nature. Mighty Parrot aims to address this issue by introducing a unique AI companion: a playful, shoulder-mounted parrot that keeps you motivated with humor and charm while reminding you of important tasks and events. With its lighthearted yet supportive presence, Mighty Parrot offers a refreshing alternative to the digital distractions that dominate modern life.


How it works
We wrote a background software to process images and voice input through a Chatgpt API. The code parses key instructions such as taking pictures and setting goals. For future versions, we plan to implement TinyML for local processing.
