Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by! 🙌
I'm Parth, a pre-final year B.Tech IT student from DTU, India. I love experimenting with AI tools, building random stuff, making YouTube videos, and honestly just trying everything that catches my interest 😄
This post is about Momentum AI, my submission for the Build with MeDo Hackathon, and honestly one of the projects I'm really proud of so far!
The Problem I Was Actually Trying to Solve 🎯
I'm not someone who lacks motivation. If anything I have too many ideas and too many goals at once.
What I lacked was consistency.
I'd start strong on something, lose track after a few days, and end up in that familiar cycle of planning, restarting, planning again. And since I also create content, I always wanted to document my journey publicly but could never find the time or words to do it consistently either.
So I thought, why not build something that solves exactly this? For me first, and for anyone else who feels the same way.
What I Built 💡
Momentum AI is a goal execution companion that helps you stay consistent, not just motivated.
You enter your goal, deadline, daily time availability, and experience level. The AI generates a full personalized roadmap with milestones, weekly phases, and first week priorities tailored to your inputs.
Every day you do a quick mood check-in, picking from states like Energized, Focused, Overwhelmed, Tired, or Calm. The app uses your mood to personalize your Sprint Mode experience and your Build-in-Public content.
Sprint Mode is my personal favourite feature. It's a full-screen pomodoro style focus session with a countdown timer, your top tasks, and an AI motivational message tied to your actual goal. When the sprint ends, a Narrative Memory message appears like:
"Yesterday you were overwhelmed. Today you showed up. That's what momentum looks like."
That line right there is what I'm really proud of in the whole app. It just feels human 🥹
The Build-in-Public generator is what I built for my creator side honestly 😄 Pick LinkedIn, X, or Dev Log, describe what you did today, and the AI writes a properly formatted post incorporating your mood and progress. No more staring at a blank page wondering what to write!

The Platform: MeDo 🤖
The entire app was built using MeDo, an AI platform that lets you build full-stack web apps through natural language conversations. It handles frontend, backend, database setup, AI integrations, and deployment all through prompting.
I came across it through their hackathon and honestly went in with pretty average expectations. I came out genuinely impressed 😅

How I Actually Built It 🛠️
Before touching MeDo at all, I spent a few hours on ideation. I researched previous hackathon projects, figured out what resonated with me, and then used Claude to structure my prompts properly and ChatGPT to sanity check the overall flow.
Then I built it phase by phase inside MeDo.
Phase 1 was purely the skeleton. All pages, navigation, and visual design. Dark mode with glassmorphism cards, electric purple and cyan accents. No backend logic yet. Just structure. This is important because dumping everything into one prompt usually creates a mess!
Phase 2 added the AI powered goal decomposition. MeDo spun up a Supabase Edge Function using Gemini 2.5 Flash that dynamically generates your personalized roadmap from your onboarding inputs. This was honestly the moment that surprised me most 😮 I didn't expect Supabase and live AI calls to just work without extra configuration. It worked on the first prompt. That felt pretty unreal.
Phase 3 added Sprint Mode, the Narrative Memory post-sprint screen, emotional check-in logic, and the Build-in-Public generator.
After each phase I sent small targeted prompts to refine specific things without regenerating the whole app. Fixing animations, making milestone badges interactive, updating Momentum Score logic, connecting Quick Stats to real data. Most issues were small and quick to fix which kept the energy going!
The One Hiccup Worth Mentioning 😅
I wanted to fix a loading animation that appeared in two sections of the app. Since both shared the same logic I expected one prompt to fix both. It only updated one 😅 (Though the feature worked fine even without the fix).
That was genuinely the only real issue. Everything else, the multi-page generation, the AI integrations, the debugging agent, the testing features, all worked smoother than I expected. The multi-agent system MeDo runs behind the scenes is doing a lot and it really shows!
What I'm Most Proud Of 🌟
Honestly just the fact that this solves a real problem I actually face. The goal planner, Sprint Mode, and Build-in-Public generator are features I'm going to personally use after this hackathon ends.
And the fact that I built something this polished in roughly a day without a lot of web dev experience? A few years ago that would have felt impossible to me. Shipping something real instead of waiting to "become better first" hits different every time 😇
What I Learned 📖
Prompting is genuinely a skill. The quality of what MeDo generates is directly tied to how clearly and specifically you describe what you want. Breaking the build into phases instead of one massive prompt made a huge difference.
And once again I learned that building for yourself first is the right instinct. When you're solving your own problem every feature decision feels obvious and the product ends up way more focused.
What's Next 🔮
Right now the app uses localStorage intentionally. No login friction, no sign-up, your goals stay private on your device. Simple and clean for first time users.
If the project gets good traction I'd love to add a community layer where people with similar goals can find each other and build momentum together, plus a consistency leaderboard for some healthy competition. Auth would come naturally alongside that!
Try It Out! 💙
If you're someone who struggles more with consistency than motivation, I'd genuinely love to know if something like this would help you. Drop a comment!
And if you're also building for the MeDo Hackathon, feel free to reach out. Would love to see what you're making 🙌
