Elevate

Inspiration

Life today is noisy, fast, and stressful. Most wellness apps overwhelm users with giant libraries of generic content. We wanted to build something different: a tool that feels effortless, personalized to you, and actually helps people feel better in minutes.

What it does

Elevate is a personalized audio coach. It creates short, personalised sessions with deep rest & mindfulness to cut stress and build resilience over time. Just press play and reset.

How we built it

• AI logic to match sessions to user state and goals
  
• TTS to generate calming audio on demand
  
• RevenueCat SDK for subscriptions and growth tracking
• Minimal UI: open app → press play → reset
  

Challenges we ran into

• Making science-backed techniques feel simple, quick & high quality.
  
• Designing adaptive personalization that feels tailored to you.
  
• Getting synthetic voices to sound warm and human
  
• Building part-time with a tiny team of two.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Shipped a minimum lovable product with instant, adaptive audio sessions
  
• Clear differentiation to Calm/Headspace: personalization + short resets
  
• Built part-time by just two people
  
• Convinced an experienced psychologist and PhD candidate to help us develop the app and content.
  

What we learned

• People want guidance, not libraries
  
• 5–10 min sessions work small can be powerful
  
• A lot of people say they need this, and are eager to try our product.

What’s next for Elevate

• Expand personalization and introduce more types and variations of exercises
  
• Launch the product, get a lot of feedback, and ship quick updates based on that.
• Launch on Google Play
  
• Support more major languages.
• Build B2B deals with employers and health providers
