The benefits of regular meditation can improve the daily lives of a lot of people. These benefits can be seen by the research of Sala and Ratna which includes the promotion of stress reduction and a positive increase in emotional well-being [2][11]. We aim to create a more convenient and beneficial way for people to meditate and keep track of their practices. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible, offering support to ease their stress and lift the weight of the challenges of the world. Some of the key technologies we are using are AI meditation exercises, personality tracking, and journaling. The AI mediation exercises allow for guided exercise in the meditation practice that the user selects. This takes into account the user’s religion, personality, location, and time available in order to create a curated exercise. The personality tracker allows users to discover the pros and cons of their own personality as well as retaking a test to see if their personality has changed over time. Lastly, the journal allows users to write down their thoughts for the day as well as save previous exercises to reference in the future. Through the anecdotes and feedback of the users we were able to improve parts of the app and see how effective it was at building consistent meditation practices.
