Motivo

Motivo is a voice-powered journaling app built with Next.js, Bolt.new, ElevenLabs and Supabase. Just speak your thoughts, set personal goals and stay motivated with an AI voice companion.

Inspiration

I wanted to build a minimal, human-first way to reflect and grow. Most journaling and goal apps rely on typing and checkboxes, but real thoughts come out when you speak freely. With ElevenLabs’ conversational AI, I saw an opportunity to create something more natural and emotionally aware. Motivo also includes a motivational AI coach that’s always ready to give you an instant boost when you need it.

What it does

A voice agent guides you through daily reflections with open-ended questions
You answer and the session is saved for future review
Each journal session stores a conversation ID for later summary or transcript viewing
After the session, the transcript is sent to Gemini for summarization, which you can edit and save
These journal summaries can be searched, edited and deleted

How I built it

I used Bolt.new to scaffold the project using Next.js and shadcn/ui
ElevenLabs React SDK powers the voice journaling experience
Supabase handles authentication and stores session metadata (conversation IDs)
I used shadcn/ui for a clean, accessible component set
Gemini to generate summaries of transcripts after each session

Challenges I ran into

Making the journaling flow feel natural while staying inside the agent's context
Managing real-time voice session state (starting, stopping, fetching)
Balancing a simple backend structure with secure, user-specific data handling
Keeping the interface clean and responsive while integrating multiple services
