Serene AI - Personal Wellness Coach

Serene AI is a voice-to-voice web application designed to help users manage their mental well-being and productivity through personalized interactions. Serene listens to users' thoughts, emotions, and concerns, and responds with thoughtful advice and actions to reduce stress, manage schedules, and track emotional trends over time.

Developed for CalHacks 2024 at UC Berkeley, Serene AI integrates a custom AI model with emotional sentiment tracking and productivity management tools.

Features

• Voice-to-Voice Interaction: Users can speak directly to Serene using the VAPI API, and Serene responds with personalized spoken dialogue.
• Custom LLM: Powered by a custom Large Language Model (LLM) using Groq and OpenAI, Serene generates context-aware responses based on user input.
• Multi-Agent Framework: Serene AI integrates with Google Calendar and Gmail, allowing it to:
  • Retrieve and manage events and emails.
  • Create or modify calendar events and send emails.
  • Relieve stress by adjusting schedules based on user preferences and emotional state.
• Sentiment Tracking: Tracks user sentiment over time, adjusting responses to improve personalization based on emotional patterns.
• Trends and Insights: Users can view their emotional trends over time, with visualizations of:
  • Mood scores/magnitudes across conversations.
  • Top emotions felt and their frequency.
  • Well-being insights over a month.

  • "I have a presentation next week, but I get really nervous when public speaking. What can I do to prepare?"
  • "I’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately. Do you have any tips to reduce my stress?"
  • "I haven’t been sleeping well. Can you help me with some relaxation techniques before bed?"
  • "I’m feeling a bit down today. Can we talk about ways to lift my mood?"
• Productivity: Ask Serene to manage your calendar or emails. For example, you can say:
  • "What's on my schedule for today?"
  • "Cancel my meeting at 3 PM."
  • "Send an email to [recipient] about rescheduling."
• Trends: Track your emotional trends over time on the trends page, where you can view:
  • Monthly mood scores.
  • Most frequent emotions.
  • Sentiment analysis over conversations.

Roadmap

• Integration with additional productivity tools (task management apps, to-do lists).
• Enhanced mood prediction and real-time emotional analysis using deep learning models.
• Expanding language support for voice interactions.
• Incorporation of wellness activities like guided meditations and breathing exercises based on emotional state.
