Janus 2

What it does

Janus is the tech assistance app designed to connect seniors with tech-savvy teens for seamless support. The creation of Janus stems from the core problems that elderly populations struggle to keep up with rapidly changing tech advancements and have difficulty finding accessible technological support. With a top to bottom senior-friendly interface, Janus ensures ease of use and an engaging experience that other services in the market lack. The app leverages the Google Gemini API in several key ways to enhance functionality. First, Gemini generates suggestions to guide teens in effectively addressing the seniors’ tech issues, providing tailored approaches for optimal support. Additionally, Gemini is used to approve or reject the teens’ solution summaries based on their helpfulness for senior tech retention. Gemini then converts approved summaries into a senior-friendly format, allowing seniors to review and remember past issues, promoting active problem-solving, learning, and cognitive longevity. Furthermore, Gemini compares seniors’ problem descriptions with previous issues to identify overlaps and suggest recommendations for how to independently solve such problems, ensuring the seniors remain active participants in the process rather than passive observers. Through these integrations, Janus creates a holistic and supportive experience for seniors attempting to navigate the ever-changing technological landscape, bridging generations through technological unity.
