Inspiration

Forget Me.AI was born from a deeply personal curiosity: why is it that digital experiences help us preserve memories, but nothing exists to help us intentionally forget? In a world flooded with AI tools for creation, we wanted to build one for letting go — for closure. The concept of grief-tech, memory erasure, and emotional ritualizing through AI felt like unexplored, emotionally-charged territory worth creating for.

What It Does

Forget Me.AI is a multi-sensory AI experience where users submit memories they wish to forget. Through a carefully designed ritual involving AI-generated abstract metaphors, distorted audio, an AI therapist conversation, and a blockchain-based certificate of oblivion — users complete a digital memory erasure ceremony.

It combines multiple AI and Web3 technologies into a cohesive, interactive narrative aimed at emotional catharsis and closure.

How We Built It

  • Supabase: Handled authentication, database storage for memories, certificates, media URLs, and emotional scores.
  • Gemini AI: Transformed raw memories into abstract, poetic outputs stripped of personal identifiers but retaining emotional depth.
  • ElevenLabs: Synthesized audio versions of reversed distorted texts, creating unsettling voice narrations.
  • Tavus: Created a live AI therapist persona delivering personalized memory-release sessions in video form.
  • Algorand: Minted Certificates of Oblivion containing hashed memory references and emotional scores onto the blockchain for proof-of-erasure.
  • Bolt.new: Served as the full app builder for designing workflows, UI screens, HTTP API actions, media management, and database CRUD operations.
  • Netlify: Hosted the production-ready frontend with a custom domain.

What We Learned

  • Combining AI services for emotional experiences requires not just technical integration, but narrative intent.
  • Web3 tools like Algorand are surprisingly approachable for micro-certifications and non-financial assets.
  • Bolt.new dramatically accelerates multi-service prototype development with no tradeoff in real functionality.
  • Ritual design in UX — pacing users through structured, emotionally meaningful phases — makes AI tools feel less transactional and more human.

Challenges We Faced

  • Ensuring data privacy while providing certificate verification on-chain.
  • Handling API key management and graceful fallback when services weren’t configured.
  • Designing a cohesive experience from very different AI tools with varying output types.
  • Engineering asynchronous API calls and media processing within Bolt’s workflow system.
  • Making memory deletion irreversible while preserving proof via hashes.

What's Next

  • Integrating AI-generated imagery of memories fading or fracturing.
  • Moving certificates from Algorand Testnet to Mainnet.
  • Offering multiple AI therapist personas to fit different emotional support needs.
  • Adding a voice-only ritual mode for visually impaired users.

This project was our way of turning abstract digital grief into something tangible, meaningful — and perhaps a little healing.
