It evaluates download speed, latency, and activity requirements to assess connection suitability, while its AI Troubleshooter provides helpful suggestions for issues such as slow internet and unstable Wi-Fi. The goal is to make internet diagnosis easier and help users find possible solutions for a better online experience.</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p><a href="https://wifiwise-3.onrender.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://wifiwise-3.onrender.com/</a></p> <h2> How I Built It </h2> <p>I built WiFiWise AI by developing a user-friendly web application with two main modules: TaskFit AI and AI Troubleshooter. TaskFit AI evaluates internet connection suitability using download speed, latency, and user activity. The AI Troubleshooter helps users describe Wi-Fi issues and receive troubleshooting suggestions. I integrated the required technologies and deployed the application on Render, making it accessible through a public URL.</p> <h2> Why Does Open Innovation Matter? </h2> <p>Open innovation matters because it allows people and organizations to share ideas, knowledge, and technologies to develop better solutions to real-world problems. It encourages collaboration, creativity, and faster innovation while reducing development costs. For projects like WiFiWise AI, open innovation helps developers learn from others, use existing tools, and improve their solutions through collaboration and feedback.</p> <h2> My Agent Session </h2> <p>My agent session demonstrates how WiFiWise AI helps users assess internet connectivity and troubleshoot Wi-Fi issues. The agent evaluates connection details, understands the user's problem, and provides helpful suggestions to improve the internet experience.</p> <h2> My First User </h2> <p>My first user tested WiFiWise AI to assess internet connectivity and explore solutions for common Wi-Fi problems. Their experience and feedback helped me understand the importance of simple, user-friendly features and identify opportunities to improve the application.</p> devchallenge hf26challenge
