The key learning from this project is that simplification is key. An app should aim to serve a purpose which is specific and should complete it fully. The idea should not be to  over burden a single concept with many purposes. Thus segmentation of this concept is required.

The concept of adding a feature this robust will also require a smarter back-end implementation. With AI quickly becoming a part of our everyday lives, it will be worth to explore possible integrations with it.
