ME APP

Your Mental Health Companion

Comment

Inspiration

According to WHO nearly 1 billion people are suffering from mental health problems. Due to stressful work environment, toxic people & lonelyness—they just want someone to listen. Therapy is helpful, but not always available.

To reduce that gap I created ME APP. It’s a always-available companion for emotional support—not a replacement for professionals, but a safe space between “I’m struggling” and “can I get help.”

What it does

ME is a mental health companion web app featuring Aiko, an AI companion designed to listen with empathy and care.

Key features: i) Empathetic conversations – Aiko validates feelings first, reflects emotions, and asks thoughtful questions instead of giving generic advice.

ii) Voice interaction – Natural voice responses make conversations feel more human.

iii) Calming environment – Animated ocean and aurora visuals with copyright free meditation music.

iv) Personalized support – Adapts to emotions like anxiety, sadness, loneliness, or anger using CBT-inspired techniques.

v) 3D companion – A warm, expressive anime-style avatar that feels present and approachable.

How we built it

I focused on simplicity, performance, and experience.

i) Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (lightweight, fast, responsive)

ii) 3D & visuals: Three.js with a GLB avatar and custom shaders

iii) AI: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash with carefully engineered therapeutic prompts

iv) Voice: ElevenLabs for natural text-to-speech

v) Deployment: Netlify.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of
