Inspiration
Every week I meet brilliant students and first-time founders who feel their idea’s value but freeze the moment they must pitch it.
I spent 18 years in consumer-goods sales, then pivoted into training & coaching. I had zero coding background, but I know stories sell. When I discovered no-code “vibe coding” with Bolt, a lightbulb popped.
What it does
What if anyone could step into a virtual elevator, ramble their rough idea on camera, and walk out with a crystal-clear pitch video - still starring their own face and perfectly-cloned voice?
That’s exactly what The Pitch Elevator delivers in one click!
How I built it
| Layer | What it does | Tech |
|---|---|---|
| 🎛 Front-end | Elevator lobby & mirror UI | Bolt |
| 🎤 Capture | Record webcam + mic | Bolt |
| ✍️ Transcript | Speech → text | OpenAI Whisper via Bolt prompt |
| 🧠 Rewrite | Punchier pitch (Problem → Edge → Traction → Ask) | DeepSeek LLM via Bolt prompt |
| 🗣 Voice | Clone speaker | ElevenLabs (upgraded → Pro) via Bolt prompt |
| 🎬 Lip-sync | New audio on original face | Sieve Sync via Bolt prompt |
| 🔐 Backend | Auth, storage, realtime, monetization | Supabase and Stripe via Bolt prompt |
| 🌐 Deploy | Custom domain | Netlify + IONOS via Bolt prompt |
Challenges I ran into
- ElevenLabs rate limits → upgraded to Pro.
- Async orchestration → Supabase Edge Functions + realtime; UI shows progressive spinners.
- Privacy vs. sharing → Private buckets by default; expiring signed URLs for social posts.
- Prompt loops with Bolt → learned to tweak, not rage-tweak 😅.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Without any coding experience, I managed to have a working app, that looks professional and functions as I imagined.
What I learned
I learned that with today’s plug-and-play AI tools, even someone who’s never written code can combine speech-to-text, rewriting, voice cloning, and video tech and turn a napkin idea into a working product in days, not months.
What's next for The Pitch Elevator
The mission: let any dreamer sell an idea with the confidence of a TED speaker.
Teachers will drill presentations, accelerators will prep cohorts, creators will polish sponsor pitches.
Roadmap
- Skyscraper Mode – up to 3-min pitches.
- Team Feedback Threads – async comments & emoji scores.
- Multilingual cloning – reach global founders.
Thank You!
I arrived with a sales deck; I’m leaving with a working product that can help thousands ride to “yes.”
Thanks, judges & community!
