Consolve: Bridging the Gap to Essential Services in Africa
- Consolve is an AI-powered platform that aims to bridge the digital divide in Africa by providing easy access to essential services like healthcare, finance, education, and agriculture for its users.
- Developed in a hackathon, Consolve is built to empower the community and streamlining the access to services to create a digital ecosystem.
- Consolve is targeting areas in Africa where access to essential services like healthcare, finance, and education is difficult due to geographic, technological, or financial barriers.
- Tailwind CSS was used to build a modern, responsive UI, Appwrite was used for authentication, user profiles, and real-time database handling, and OpenAI’s API was used to provide users with personalized service recommendations based on their preferences, location, and prior interactions.
- The most challenging part of developing Consolve was integrating the real-time notification system. To overcome this, Henry, the developer of the project, used a custom hook that manages subscriptions, implemented throttling to limit the frequency of API calls, and used local caching to store previous notifications.
- Collaborative and effective communication with the team are the key takeaways for Henry, which includes balancing quality with speed, taking initiative, and knowing when to ask for help.
- Henry is planning to add more user-centric features like offline capabilities to the app and expand the AI-based recommendation system to offer more personalized suggestions.
- By building Consolve, Henry's desire is to improve the access to essential services for underserved populations. He wants to keep exploring ways to integrate additional services such as transportation and logistics, which would be hugely beneficial for communities in remote areas.
- Henry is a passionate software developer aiming to create solutions that impact people's lives. You can see the project on GitHub or watch the live demo.
