Inspiration Maintaining a positive outlook, confidence, and clear goals daily significantly enhances mental well-being and promotes a sustainable lifestyle. Research in neuroscience reinforcement and the power of habits has highlighted the crucial differences between having clarity and lacking it, as well as the impact of reinforcement. This concept is often referred to as the law of attraction.

What It Does Our web application creates personalized conversations and meditations for users. All interactions between the AI and users are securely stored in a private database. Users can also upload personal data, such as resumes and health information, for a more tailored experience. After gathering initial information and documents during onboarding, the AI crafts personalized meditations accompanied by neuro-data-driven art designed to evoke specific emotions.

How We Built It We utilized Langchain to bridge VectorDB, powered by Intel, with a private Vector DB (MongoDB Atlas integrated with Intel's embeddings). We fine-tuned an open-source LLM model with a personalized meditation database using Intel's technology and aimed to showcase our model on the leadership board. For deployment, we employed FastAPI and developed the front end using React. The neuro-inspired artwork was generated using TouchDesigner, with input from simulated Muse headband data. For Authentication, we used PropelAthen integrated with MongoDB. For the hosting name we used GoDaddy, and our webpages is: mindriver.io.

Challenges We Encountered Establishing connectivity between different components, such as the front end and back end, was challenging. Fine-tuning and pre-training models proved to be highly rewarding but came with numerous hurdles.

Our Proud Achievements We successfully integrated new technologies we had never worked with before and experimented with them on the Hoohacks platform. We ensured user privacy through the use of a private database. Our team collaboration was seamless, with each member taking on specific responsibilities.

Lessons Learned Establishing connectivity is often the most challenging aspect; it's best to start with minimal connections before adding complexity. Intel's cloud offerings are extensive and intriguing. We gained insights into integrating Langchain with Intel and deploying a web application.

What’s Next for Mind River We plan to add a habit tracker that follows goal setting, along with a calendar and daily check-in options. Integration with AR/VR headsets is in the pipeline, allowing for physiological data tracking during meditation.
