"Project 4β", a pro bono initiative powered by Oxylabs, continues supporting initiatives that contribute to the public good. As part of its ongoing efforts, "4β" established a new partnership with #SRNT (Serenity) – a nonprofit Crisis Aide platform aimed to provide individuals facing challenging life situations with access to organizations where they can seek assistance.
Through "Project 4β", the #SRNT project will get access to Oxylabs' cutting-edge Web Scraper API solution, which will help the organization gather crucial data from various online sources. This collaboration will empower Serenity to accomplish one of the essential platform-building steps – data collection.
We are thrilled to be involved in impactful initiatives like #SRNT and support their growth. Web intelligence acquisition solutions can drive positive societal change, therefore, we're confident that with our tools, #SRNT team will successfully fulfill its mission of making help accessible to everyone.
Julius Černiauskas, CEO of Oxylabs
What is the SRNT project?
SRNT is an AI Crisis Aide platform that can provide real-time support and assistance to those in need, leveraging the power of technology and AI for the good of society.
Our team is doing its best to bring together the most trusted and reputable organizations and experts to help our users in any situation. Whether people are struggling with a toxic relationship, violence, discrimination, or any other crisis, the SRNT app will provide easy access to support organizations. We hope this project can empower people to get through their difficulties and find hope in their darkest moments.
Nadezhda Barodzich, Head of #SRNT
According to Mrs Barodzich, when founding the organization, the goal was to create a project where helpful information is available on every smartphone so that every girl wouldn't endure violence and could quickly press a button knowing that she is not alone, that she has someone to confide in and where to get help.
Over time, the list of problems expanded because founders dived into the topic, realizing there were many more situations people find difficult to discuss and that quick help should be available to everyone. There are a lot of people in the world who are ashamed of or do not trust the police and government services. They feel left alone with their problem and do not always find support. However, at the same time, there are many wonderful organizations and ways to help free that most people don't even know about.
SRNT app will help its users find organizations based on location, time, and previous experiences. Users will also be able to connect with others going through similar situations, creating an atmosphere of support, trust, and encouragement for those who need it.
Currently, the Serenity project is in its developmental phase, where the team utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to gather information, decompile it, structure it, and enhance it with "human language models." The anticipated launch of the SRNT platform is scheduled for autumn 2023. Initially, the SRNT app will be made accessible in northern Europe, followed by its availability in California, United States. Subsequently, there are plans for territorial expansion to other regions.
We were happy to meet the project team - professionals who promote technology for the benefit of society. The idea for our project was born precisely because of the difficulty of finding up-to-date data about charities. Collaboration with "Project 4β" will help us significantly speed up and simplify the data collection process at the initial stage and greatly facilitate the regular checking and updating of data. This will make our databases always up-to-date and useful for our users. We are grateful to Oxylabs for such significant support and are proud of this collaboration. Oxylabs' help and support is a huge contribution to the use of technology for the public good.
