"Have you ever felt down or alone, with nobody to talk to? Our bot, built on Gemini 2.0's API, aims to help youths by providing an outlet for them to vent and recieve consolation. Our solution, named Sokudo, after the japanese word for speed, is a discord bot that roleplays as a teenager in order to act as a chat companion with users.

Using sound prompt engineering and keyword recognition, we trained the model to comfort users when they rant to them, and provide mental health resources like hotlines when words from a preset list of trigger words are mentioned. Additionally, we have features such as auto-moderation for Discord servers, such that profanity and bullying are stopped.
