SPLYT

1 What’s it for?

Before dawn, a rower needs to know two things: their boat, their seat. Splyt makes both fast enough to get everyone off their phones and onto the water. Friendly and clear, Splyt is made specifically for the women of ZLAC boathouse- the oldest all-womens rowing club in the world, located in Mission Bay, San Diego.

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 inefficienty 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 expereince—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.
