## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Overview

Try it out!! Text +18556475409 with what you want to do and when it should call you, e.g., "I want to finish my hackathon project in the next 5 min". Speaks for itself (literally)

### Inspiration

We saw a podcast where they brought in 2 people from similar backgrounds, one of which said they can't accomplish x goal, and the other who has accomplished that. The accomplished one shames the other into accomplishing their goals, e.g., 2 mothers, one of which says she can't make time to work out because of work / family, but the other mother does, and so they reach a conclusion they can both do it.

### What it does

Calls you as influential people shaming you into accomplishing your specific goal at a specified time.

### How we built it

Twilio for messaging / calls, GPT for character description, yt-dlp for downloading podcast audio data, 11labs for cloning voices / generating voiceovers, vercel for serveless deployment, AWS for cron jobs.

### Challenges we ran into

Timezones are difficult to deal with on server v. local. Also, it's difficult to get the time from a non-formatted user message, e.g., remind in in ~ two ish hours to go to the gym.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

It calls with so many different voices, performs relatively well, and is easy to use

### What we learned

Serveless deployments, Cron jobs, timezone extraction

### What's next

Product hunt launch?
