Soul Connect: Finding Spiritual Focus in a Digital World with Gemini AI

This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI

About Me

My name is Ausaf ur Rehman,
​"I am a developer driven by the belief that technology should serve our highest values, not distract from them. For 2026, my mission is to use AI to create 'Digital Boundaries' that help people reclaim their focus and spiritual peace. Soul Connect is my first step toward a future where our devices respect our sacred moments."

The Problem

Digital noise often interrupts the most sacred moments of prayer (Salah). This app helps the global Ummah stay focused while ensuring they never miss an emergency.

How it Works

  • GPS-Aware: Detects when you are in a Masjid (Simulation included!).
  • AI Shield: Intercepts calls using Gemini 3 Flash logic.
  • Prayer Voicemail: Callers can leave a voice message that the user can play back after prayer.

Technical Details

  • Logic: Gemini 3 Flash via Google AI Studio.
  • Deployment: Hosted on Netlify (link: https://soulconnect2026.netlify.app/)
  • Note: Due to regional financial constraints (no bank access), Netlify was used instead of Google Cloud Run.
