I wanted to help people meditate without generic voiceovers. So I built an app that generates personalized guided meditations using Gemini 2.5 Flash for scripts, Imagen 4.0 for ambient visuals, and Google's TTS for narration.
The challenge wasn't the AI—it was making meditation feel personal at scale. Each session adapts to your mood, time of day, and past practice. Built in a week, refined over weeks.
Other Experiments
Empty property photos don't sell homes. I built StageSnap to help real estate agents and sellers transform vacant rooms into beautifully staged spaces using AI. Upload a photo, choose a style, and get a professionally staged image in seconds. The multi-turn editing feature lets users refine every detail through natural conversation—add a lamp, change the sofa colour, swap the rug—all while preserving the room's original architecture.

I built SpatiaLearn to address the challenge students and professionals face in memorizing large volumes of information using traditional methods. SpatiaLearn combines ancient memory palace techniques with modern AI voice coaching and 3D spatial audio, creating an immersive experience where users build custom memory palaces using familiar locations and practice with an AI coach that guides them through spatial audio positioning.

I built this interactive explorer to address the challenge of digesting data-heavy research articles. The a16z "State of Consumer AI" report contains invaluable insights—but lengthy reports can be overwhelming, especially for those with learning differences or anyone who prefers visual, interactive content. This project transforms key findings into a guided visual journey easy to consume.
