📌 Problem Statement

Problem Statement 1 – Weave AI magic with Groq

🎯 Objective

ZenCue is a smart, safe, and supportive AI-powered application designed specifically for neurodivergent children. It addresses the challenges kids face in processing text, images, and audio by using Groq's multimodal AI to simplify and explain information, offer assistive voice/text chat, and provide personalized support.

It also gives parents a secure way to manage subscriptions through OnchainKit (Base) providing both trust and transparency.
