Abstract


Diary writing has long been acknowledged as beneficial for personal reflection and emotional well-being. This paper presents "Reflect," an innovative Android application designed to promote diary writing among users, mainly focusing on teenagers. The application combines the functionality of a diary with the support of a Chatbot powered by the GPT-3.5 turbo API, offering users an interactive and reflective experience. Users can authenticate using email/password or Google authentication via Firebase. The sentiment analysis feature provides insights into the emotional content of diary entries, presenting an emotional breakdown as a percentage. The Chatbot acts as a virtual companion, offering emotional support and guidance to users. "Reflect" use Android Studio, Kotlin, Firebase, and Cloud Firestore for data storage. Integrating the GPT-3.5 turbo API enhances the app's capabilities for sentiment analysis and Chatbot functionality. The goal of "Reflect" is to encourage diary writing among individuals, particularly teenagers, fostering self-reflection, gratitude, and emotional awareness. By combining diary writing, sentiment analysis, and a supportive Chatbot, the app provides an interactive platform for personal growth and well-being.
