SPLYT

1) What’s it for?

Before dawn, a rower needs to know two things: their boat and their seat. Splyt delivers this information as plainly as possible, so rowers are off their phones and on the water. It is made specifically for the women of ZLAC boathouse, the oldest all-womens rowing club in the world.

2) Why are you making it?

As a current ZLAC coach and a former UC San Diego D1 athlete, I have little patience for the information overload and task inefficiency of current rowing apps. I want one app that perfectly solves my problems as both rower and coach.

As a cognitive science and design graduate, I am interested in how the changing tools of AI engineering are enabling designers without coding experience—such as myself— to build end-to-end applications. I am building Splyt as part of my research concerning how artificial and human intelligence are demanding for clearer definitions.
