The purpose of the project was to utilize generative AI to develop two calculators- a loan repayment calculator using a prompt given by an instructor, and another special-purpose calculator per our design:
My special-purpose calculator can be used by women to determine what phase of their hormonal cycle they are in, depending on the first day of their last menstrual cycle, and their average monthly cycle length (how many days between the starting dates of two different menstrual cycles). The output my calculator provides is what phase of their menstrual cycle a woman is in (follicular, ovulation, etc.), and how much sleep they may need accordingly (in addition to providing supporting information about what the phase entails, and why that amount of sleep may be needed). Anyone who menstruates may want to use this calculator to stay up to date with their health and understand how what phase they are in in their monthly cycle might affect their sleep needs! It offers a fairly simple way to connect hormonal patterns with energy levels and how sleep needs vary accordingly, without having to do an extensive search. I learned how to correctly prompt generative AI platforms to create useful output in real-world settings.
