  History

Mental health struggles often go unspoken because people don't know where to start. Mirror Talk was built for SDG 3. Good Health and Well-Being, to give anyone a private, judgment free space to process their emotions through writing.

What it does

You write how you're feeling. Mirror Talk's AI reads it, reflects your emotions back to you with genuine validation, and offers exactly one small, actionable step you can take today. As the AI responds, emotionally significant words light up in neon colors, pain in pink, hope in green, calm in blue, warmth in orange, making the emotional landscape of the response visible in real time.

How we built it

Full-stack application: React frontend with a dark neon UI, Express backend, PostgreSQL database for conversation history, and OpenAI's streaming API for real-time responses. The AI is prompted to tag emotional words using a custom color syntax that the frontend parses and renders as glowing neon text.
