Malachi Constant

Inspiration

We thought: what if stock predictions came from the word of our Lord instead of data science?

What it does

Malachi Constant converts daily Bible text into stock symbols based on days since Easter 30 AD. It checks if those symbols are real stocks, and if so, invokes AI Jesus (via GPT-4) to deliver buy/sell prophecies. His voice is generated through ElevenLabs.

How we built it

• React + Vite frontend
  
• Serverless functions via Vercel
  
• OpenAI API (GPT-4) for divine prophecy
  
• ElevenLabs for voice synthesis
  
• Bible parsing algorithm synced to the holy calendar

Challenges we ran into

• Most 3-letter combos don’t map to real stocks
  
• Getting realistic voice audio to play reliably
  
• Runtime quirks (e.g., Buffer not defined in Edge)
  
• Prompting GPT to sound like Jesus

Accomplishments

• AI Jesus speaks daily stock truths
  
• Smooth multi-API orchestration

What we learned

• How to structure functional serverless apps
  
• How to use voice APIs
• To have a little faith

What’s next

• “Confess your portfolio” mode
  
• Revelation log to track past predictions
  
• Sector-specific saints (e.g., St. Matthew for fintech)
