🧠💬 MindMeld – Your AI-Powered Mental Wellness Companion

Built with Bolt, ElevenLabs, Tavus & Supabase | Submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge

🌟 Inspiration

In today's fast-paced world, mental health support is still inaccessible or stigmatized for many. We envisioned MindMeld as a private, always-available companion—an AI-powered mental wellness assistant that can detect emotions, have reflective conversations, and even respond with a calming voice or personalized video.

Our motivation? Build a truly empathetic experience using multi-modal AI, bridging the gap between human warmth and digital intelligence.


💡 What It Does

MindMeld is a web-based AI-powered chat app that helps users manage emotional wellness. It offers:

  • 🎙️ Voice input & natural conversation
  • 😌 Real-time emotion detection (from text & voice)
  • 🧘‍♀️ Wellness-focused response generation
  • 🔊 AI-generated calming voice responses (via ElevenLabs)
  • 📹 Personalized reflection video playback (via Tavus)
  • 📊 Session tracking and insights (via Supabase)

Users can simply type or speak how they feel—and MindMeld listens, reflects, and supports.


🧱 How We Built It

We combined a powerful stack of frontend, backend, and AI integrations:

⚡ Sponsor Tech – Bolt

  • We used Bolt to power backend workflows—especially managing AI pipeline triggers.
  • Bolt’s low-latency execution enabled us to chain NLP + emotion detection + audio/video generation efficiently.
  • Its developer-friendly API helped us manage queues and retries for tasks like:

    • Uploading emotional data
    • Triggering Tavus reflection video generation
    • Audio generation via ElevenLabs
    • Supabase logging

🚀 Favorite Bolt Feature: The event-driven function triggers—made it super easy to link emotion analysis → voice generation → storage. It saved us hours of DevOps.

🛠️ Tech Stack

Technology Purpose
React.js Frontend interface
Supabase User session logging & emotion tracking
ElevenLabs API Voice cloning & AI voice playback
Tavus API Personalized AI video generation
Bolt Workflow orchestration & trigger-based backend
OpenAI GPT-4o Chat & emotional response generation
Web Speech API Voice input + output for chat

🚧 Challenges We Faced

  • Emotion Analysis Accuracy: Combining text + voice tone to get accurate emotions required experimentation.
  • Video Generation Time: Tavus responses took time to generate—we optimized it with Bolt’s queuing + progressive response.
  • Cross-modal sync: Syncing voice, text, and video to ensure one coherent user session was tricky.
  • Privacy concerns: We ensured no session data is stored without user consent.

🎉 What's Next

  • Android & iOS mobile app with push notifications
  • Mood journaling and long-term emotional analytics
  • More personalized AI video personalities
  • Integration with mental health professionals (referral system)

🚀 Final Thoughts

MindMeld is more than just a project—it’s our attempt to bring emotional wellness into everyone's hands using accessible AI. Thanks to Bolt, we stitched together an entire mental wellness experience with real-time automation and ease.
