Relive, Recall, Reconnect – Memories That Last!

Comment

Inspiration

MyMemoryAI was inspired by our grandmother, who struggled with dementia. We wanted to build something that could help her—and others like her—relive special moments, feel connected to loved ones, and reduce frustration. The project combines compassion with innovation, using voice AI, computer vision, and personalized storytelling to support cognitive engagement and emotional well-being.

What it does

MyMemoryAI is a dementia-supportive mobile app that helps patients relive cherished memories through the following features:

Upload Memories: Families can upload photos, videos, and text stories. These are automatically tagged using AWS Rekognition for easy categorization.

View Memory Book: A digital scrapbook organizes uploaded content into timelines or themes. The memory book includes a slideshow mode with voice narration provided by ElevenLabs.

Take Quiz: The app generates personalized memory quizzes based on uploaded content to support cognitive recall and engagement.

Caregiver Dashboard: A secure dashboard tracks user interactions, filters distressing content, and visualizes memory usage data.

Conversational AI: Users can interact with a virtual AI nurse using text or voice, powered by ElevenLabs and Tavus.

Soothing Audio: Background music and audio cues are used throughout the app to enhance comfort and engagement.

Silly Memory Mode: Users can share funny, AI-enhanced memories to Reddit using the Reddit API, adding a light-hearted community element.

Premium Features: Users can unlock expanded functionality through subscription plans integrated with RevenueCat.

How we built it

Frontend and Logic: Built using Bolt.new for visual full-stack development.

Voice AI: Integrated ElevenLabs for narration, prompts, and conversational audio.

Image and Video Analysis: AWS Rekognition used to tag uploaded media for object and face recognition.

Storage and Backend: Supabase stores metadata, manages user accounts, and handles real-time logging.

Blockchain Integration: Algorand is used to timestamp and log memory uploads for transparent and verifiable history.

OAuth and API: Reddit API used for Silly Memory Mode and Reddit OAuth login via Supabase.

Conversational AI Video: Tavus is used to deliver personalized AI video guidance from an avatar.

Payments: RevenueCat SDK and Paywall Builder were integrated to handle subscription tiers.

Deployment: App is hosted on Netlify with a custom domain purchased via Entri.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered challenges in configuring OAuth properly between Reddit and Supabase, especially around redirect URIs. Integrating multiple APIs while maintaining accessibility for dementia users required careful interface design. Ensuring HIPAA-compliant data handling with secure, encrypted media storage also required deliberate implementation. Making the voice interface reliable for slow, unclear, or slurred speech was an additional challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully integrated over six major technologies into a cohesive and accessible user experience. We built a fully functional memory companion that runs smoothly even on low-end tablets. The design was tested with non-technical users to ensure maximum usability. We also added a unique, community-driven feature by allowing Reddit integration through a fun "Silly Memory Mode."

What we learned

We learned how to design and build a compassionate product at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and blockchain. Bolt.new enabled rapid iteration and full-stack visual development. We also discovered the complexity of synchronizing Supabase with third-party OAuth providers and learned the importance of nuanced UI/UX decisions, especially for voice interfaces aimed at vulnerable user groups.

What’s next for MyMemoryAI

We plan to add multi-language support and a caregiver-to-patient remote guidance system. We want to incorporate GPT-based story summarization to turn memory collections into full life narratives. A wearable, voice-first interface is in consideration for patients who can no longer operate touchscreen devices. We also hope to collaborate with dementia care clinics to test and validate the app in real-world conditions. Finally, we aim to introduce a "legacy mode" allowing families to pass down curated memory books as tokenized digital keepsakes powered by Algorand.
