Some time ago, we started working in a new initiative to build a tool that could help any team at Uruit add Artificial Intelligence capabilities to their projects.<\/p>\n<p>That project became a new product called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogniflow.ai\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cogniflow<\/a>, a no-code Artificial Intelligence platform that makes it easier than ever for everyone to build solutions that involve Artificial Intelligence using text, image and audio.<\/p>\n<p>With Cogniflow ready and waiting to be tested, what could be better than having our own teams use it to develop new Artificial Intelligence-based solutions ideas? Having them do it as part of a contest, with a jury that covered different areas, and a big prize!<\/p>\n<p>We announced the activity and people got excited about it. It took only a few days for everyone to find a team and start working on their ideas. Finally, four teams signed up for the competition and the developers and designers that took part in the activity dedicated one full day to work on their projects; we called it \u201cHackatonIA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of the teams had to present their product to the members of the jury, paying special attention to the four areas that they evaluated: Platform mastery, Originality of the solution, Visual design, and Value proposition. Our special jury contemplated all the areas that we work with and consisted on one Product Owner, one UX\/UI Designer, one Marketing Expert, and the three-people technical team that created Cogniflow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_take_a_look_at_the_Artificial_Intelligence_Hackathon_contestants\"><\/span>Let\u2019s take a look at the Artificial Intelligence Hackathon contestants!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WOLI_Written_Offensive_Language_Identification\"><\/span><strong>WOLI: Written Offensive Language Identification<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10338\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-3-300x96.png\" alt=\"Artificial Intelligence Bot\" width=\"569\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-3-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-3-20x6.png 20w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-3.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Internal chats are essential for any organization, and this is truer than ever now that so many companies have moved to remote work, and chats have become the main communication platform. This doesn\u2019t come without risks, one of them being inappropriate or offensive messages exchanged between colleagues. Having that in mind, this team created a bot that identifies this kind of language and calls you out if you\u2019re using it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple, if you send something that catches the bot\u2019s attention, you will receive a message that goes \u201cI&#8217;m almost sure your message is offensive. Please stay calm and breath before you attack other people\u201d. WOLI was trained in a week with around 1 million conversations, and it\u2019s capable of identifying not only offensive words but also their context. The magic of Artificial Intelligence!<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AAA_Android_Application_Analyzer\"><\/span><strong>AAA: Android Application Analyzer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10339\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-4-300x96.png\" alt=\"Artifial Intelligence\" width=\"569\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-4-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-4-20x6.png 20w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-4.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this project, the members of the team used Artifical Intelligence to create a model that analyzes and understands app&#8217;s reviews in order to compute an implicit virtual rating.

The game consists of a roulette with many sounds&#8217; options, once the user runs it and gets a category, they have five seconds to imitate the sound and win. The players can get different kinds of sounds: animals, humans, domestic, urban or nature. When the players get it right, they get coins, and if they get it wrong, they can try again to succeed \u2013 and because it\u2019s really fun! \u2013.<\/p>\n<p>The platform was trained to recognize all the sounds in the game: it not only tells you if your impression is accurate but can also say if it sounded like something else. For example, if you have to make a cat sound and you don\u2019t nail it, the game might say something like \u201cthat sounded more like a siren\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CDE_Car_Damage_Estimator\"><\/span><strong>CDE: Car Damage Estimator<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10342\" src=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-6-300x96.png\" alt=\"Artificial Intelligence Car Damage Estimator\" width=\"572\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-6-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-6-20x6.png 20w, https:\/\/uruit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/00D0AD-6.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was built by two developers, thinking about how Artificial Intelligence can help all the car owners that have no insurance.
