Glucovery
9
At Glucovery, we're focused on helping people with Celiac Disease and the symptomatic and nutritional recovery issues they face after accidentally ingesting gluten. This means they are unable to process and absorb nutrients as well as they normally would. Thus, there may be an impact on nutritional balance, perhaps a deficiency, and they may exhibit symptoms like headaches and nausea. Our project aims to provide food suggestions that can help reduce the effects of symptoms while also promoting a strong nutritional balance to help recovery.

Unchecked human error and a lack of accountability in machine learning experimentation contributes to widespread social issues, including systemic prejudices and the current reproducibility crisis. Scribe incorporates smoothly into current experimentation workflows to automatically track experiment and journal data, visualize results, and alert researchers to potential biases and unfairness in their models.

Penspyre

Writing long fiction is an enormous undertaking. Most professional writers get stuck during the drafting phase, unable to continue their story - the problem coined as writer’s block. Penspyre is a tool that helps long fiction writers find their inspiration through contextualized text and image prompts generated either on demand or after the block has been detected. It lives in a writer’s preferred word processor like Google Docs seamlessly integrating into the writing process.
