A learning project from Kaggle's 5-Day AI Agents Intensive Course

This is my capstone project for the AI Agents course. As a beginner in AI agents, I focused on building something meaningful that I could actually complete: an emotional support companion that detects feelings and offers kind responses.

I started with zero experience in Google ADK and learned:

• How emotional detection works (with negation handling!)
• The basics of agent architecture
• Session management with conversation memory
• Where I struggled and what I'd do differently

• ✅ Emotional detection with negation awareness ("not happy" → sad)
• ✅ Conversation memory and pattern tracking
• ✅ Simple, kind responses for different emotions
• ✅ Clean, runnable code structure

• Fully integrating Google ADK (I have a minimal example)
• Using Gemini models effectively in multi-agent systems
• Advanced agent orchestration

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/diogocarrola/emotional-anchor-ai.git

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the emotional anchor
python main.py

Just start talking! The AI will:

• Detect your emotional state from your messages
• Respond with appropriate support or celebration
• Remember our conversation patterns
• Provide emotional insights over time

Example conversations:

You: I'm feeling really down today...
⚓ Emotional Anchor: I'm here with you. Storms don't last forever, and neither will this feeling.

You: I just got amazing news!
⚓ Emotional Anchor: I'm so glad to share this joyful moment with you! Your happiness matters.

This project is submitted as part of the Kaggle 5-Day AI Agents Intensive Course, demonstrating:

• Multi-agent systems for emotional intelligence
• Custom tool development for conversation memory
• Session management for emotional pattern tracking
• Creative application of AI for mental health support
