Why I created helpmee.ai

My journay into the world of AI began at the Technical University of Munich, where I pursued a Master's degree in AI and computer vision. I've always liked the idea of using tech to improve people's lives, which led me to specialize in AI for medical applications. For my Master's thesis, I developed an AI model capable of generating medical reports from chest X-ray images (think chatGPT for radiologists). This work was eventually published as a scientific paper at CVPR, one of the world's leading AI conferences. For those interested in diving deeper, you can find the paper here.

After graduating, I took a position as a data science consultant in Munich. There, I was involved in implementing various AI use cases across different sectors.

Throughout the years, my dad has always struggled with technology, regularly calling me for help with his computer issues. Just a few years ago, before the launch of ChatGPT and other breakthrough models, creating an AI assistant that could actually help with tech support seemed impossible. But witnessing the incredible advancement of AI technology in 2024, especially in areas like text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and visual understanding, I realized that this kind of application had finally become possible. So I thought: why not create an AI tech support assistant that could help him solve his tech issues, especially when I wasn't available?

What started as a weekend project turned into months of development - it was actually much more challenging than I initially expected! But after dedicated work and countless iterations, I've created something I'm quite proud of and believe can help not just my dad, but many others facing similar challenges. That's how helpmee.ai was created, and I'm excited to share it with the world!
