Inspiration

Each year, thousands of capable students miss out on Ivy League opportunities — not because they lack talent, but because they lack the right roadmap and emotional support.
We asked:

“What if one intelligent, human-like AI platform could serve as their ultimate college companion?”
Thus, IvyDreams.net was born — a personalized, emotional, and intelligent platform that guides aspirants from dream to admission.

What it does

IvyDreams is a conversational, AI-powered app that helps students build strong Ivy League profiles through real-time coaching, voice interaction, and intelligent recommendations.

✨ Core Features

  • 🎙️ Talk to a Coach (Profile Booster)
    Real-time ElevenLabs voice agent acts as an Ivy admissions coach
  • 🧠 IvyFit Quiz
    Helps students discover the Ivy League colleges best aligned with their goals, values, and scores
  • 🏛️ Ivy School Explorer
    Compare Ivy League schools based on data, culture, and outcomes
  • 🤝 Alumni Lounge
    Simulate AI-based conversations with Ivy alumni mentors
  • 📄 Coach and CV Lab

How we built it

  • Bolt.new: All frontend/backend components
  • Supabase: Database and authentication for quiz results and resume management
  • ElevenLabs: Voice agent for live, personalized coaching
  • OpenAI GPT-4o: Natural language reasoning, content generation, guidance
  • Pika Labs / Sora: Created 3-minute emotional video from script
  • Netlify: Fully deployed web app
  • Stripe: Integrated for monthly subscription billing and access control
  • *ElevenLabs Voice AI *: Powers the “Talk to a Coach” voice assistant in the Profile Booster section
  • Tavus AI + Replica: Enables hyper-personalized, conversational video coaching experiences using AI-generated avatars

Challenges we ran into

  • Integrating ElevenLabs with Bolt.new and routing voice inputs dynamically
  • Making the AI mentor feel emotionally authentic, not robotic
  • Creating an engaging UI without overwhelming students with data
  • Syncing voice, text, and storytelling across platforms for a unified experience

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • GPT-driven Ivy admissions roadmap with real-time coaching
  • End-to-end student journey visualized in a GenAI-powered video
  • Full-stack app with secure login, quizzes, voice, video, and personalized content

What we learned

  • Voice AI unlocks emotional depth in educational apps
  • A single well-structured GenAI prompt can build an entire ecosystem
  • Storytelling, not just data, can inspire students to dream bigger
  • Product design centered around emotion + intelligence = impact

What's next for IvyDreams

  • Add student dashboard with performance tracking
  • Allow real Ivy alumni to respond alongside AI mentors
  • Expand CV Lounge to include essay analyzers and GPT-reviewed drafts
  • Bring real-time Q&A with Ivy-specific bots for every school
