Ember: An AI app that gives abandoned passions a voice using Gemini, ElevenLabs, Snowflake & Solana
Original: My Abandoned Cricket Kit Confronted Me. So I Built It a Voice
Short summary
Ember is a hackathon project that uses Gemini to forge AI personas from user confessions about abandoned passions, ElevenLabs for voice synthesis, Snowflake for session state, and Solana for permanent on-chain pledges. Users confess a quit passion, converse with an AI embodiment of it, then either rekindle with a committed first step or lay it to rest with a eulogy. The app aggregates anonymized sessions into an Atlas of Abandoned Passions.
- •Ember uses Gemini, ElevenLabs, Snowflake, and Solana in a single emotional pipeline
- •Users confess abandoned passions and interact with AI-generated personas of those passions
- •Pledges and eulogies are permanently attested on Solana devnet
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
