Inspiration
I have always been passionate about personal development, particularly ideas around our ability to manifest our desires and that our thoughts shape our reality. I believe that the purpose of our lives is woven into the journeys we take to unlock our human potential and realize our dreams. This isn't fanciful thinking either - I have seen and continue to see these concepts in action in my own life.
The past few years have been extremely heartbreaking and challenging for me. I lost my mother to Covid, had to drop out of grad school and relocate to Africa to take care of my grandmother, and eventually experienced the devastation of a civil war. I watched my family and friends lose their homes, possessions, legacies, family members, and even their own lives. I returned to the US after fleeing the war at a all-time low, full of grief and anxiety, almost ready to give up on such a cruel world. But I had to make a decision - either I shape my life into what I want it to be and pursue my dreams, or I just give up on life. I didn't see a reason to be here if my reality was going to be just suffering.
I chose LIFE, and set out to rebuild - through soul searching, goal setting, mindfulness, and inspired actions. Although its been a very challenging journey, its also been profoundly enlightening and deeply transformative. Shifting my mindset about my experiences, my reality, and what I am capable of has allowed me to use my darkest days as fuel for growth and transformation. I am healthier, braver, wealthier, more determined, and more thankful than I have ever been. Most important I am surrounded by love and excited about life! And I know that this is just the beginning...
This app puts my personal practices around mindset, beliefs, and taking inspired actions into an easy to use digital format. My prayer is that it can help others to overcome challenges and transform their lives as well.
What it does
The applications works as a guide to support the user in personal transformation by doing the following:
- Helps the user determine what they truly desire for their life through a series of prompts
- Helps the user determine key life areas to focus on based on their prompt responses
- Allows the user to create custom "Affirmation tracks" composed of:
- Affirmations related to their life focus areas (AI can assist)
- Background music to give extra energy to their affirmations
- Gives the user a space to work with (listen to and visual) their affirmations on a daily basis
- Provides the user with a space to plan out and check off actions to take towards their goals (AI can assist)
- Provides the user with an AI coach to check-in with and talk through challenges
How I built it
Using Bolt! Mostly prompts with some manual code editing by myself
Challenges I ran into
The normal vibe-coding challenges with prompting. Nothing some perseverance and prompting strategy can't overcome!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Take the time to build out an idea that I have been thinking about for the past few months!
What I learned
I learned about what it really takes to plan out a complex application, how to prioritize features, how to determine when I am "done" (for now!), and a significant amount about Bolt's capabilities and how revolutionary vibe-coding really is.
What's next for Ariise.ai
I would love to officially launch and see how the application is used and received by users! Eventually I would like to add some vision board or even AI generated movie capabilities to help users visualize their dream futures. And it would also be great to add some social peer group encouragement capabilities and even gamification and rewards into the app.
