Build your own Akinator

 

Take a look at the popular website Akinator -https://en.akinator.com/

This "Web Genius" uses a powerful algorithm to guess what you are thinking.


Every good computer program has an algorithm that runs the back end of the program. An algorithm is simple a set of steps, procedures and rules that perform a task. Artificial intelligence or AI is based on these principals.

You will create your own "Akinator" that accurately predicts what the user chooses from a set of toys that are given to you. Look at the assignment and the other materials to create your own!


You may use the following pictures to start your program:



What type of algorithm could you write to narrow down the user choices to accurately guess/predict what they are thinking?



What program would you use to guide the user through your series of questions? Many of our learners will simply use Google Sheets.

What does the learner have to deliver? What is the MVP or Minimum Viable Product?


Have Fun!!
