## Course Overview

What happens when [two ML Engineers](#contributors) with a love for sci-fi movies team up? 🤔

You get **Ava**, a Whatsapp agent that can engage with users in a "realistic" way, inspired by the great film [Ex Machina](https://www.imdb.com/es-es/title/tt0470752/). Ok, you won't find a fully sentient robot here, but you **will** have some pretty interesting Whatsapp conversations.

By the end of this course, you'll have built your own Ava too, capable of:


* Receiving and sending Whatsapp messages 📲
* Understanding your voice 🗣️
* Recognizing your images 🖼️
* Sending voice notes back 🎤
* Sharing updates about its "daily activities" 🚣
* Sending you images of its current activities 🖼️

>You can think of it as a modern reinterpretation of the Turing Test 🤣

Excited? Let's get started!
