EmotiSync

Emotion-Sensing Adaptation for Your Schedule
EmotiSync is an intelligent scheduling assistant that adapts your daily flow based on your emotional state—restoring focus and emotional balance in a distracted world.

Rather than optimizing for productivity, EmotiSync listens to how you feel. It offers gentle task guidance that helps you recover from stress, maintain flow, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.

Intro

Concept

EmotiSync harnesses Hume AI’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to analyze users' emotional expressions in real-time through voice input. Based on these signals, it dynamically suggests tasks that either relieve, sustain, or gently shift your emotional state.

This system challenges conventional productivity tools by prioritizing emotional well-being over rigid planning—empowering users to work with their moods rather than against them.

Features

  • 🎙️ Emotion Detection with Hume AI EVI
    Real-time voice analysis for 53 nuanced emotional states.

  • 🔁 Adaptive Task Suggestions
    Tasks adjust dynamically based on emotional feedback—categorized by stress levels (High, Moderate, Low), relaxation, and focus.

  • 🌈 Emotion-Mapped UI
    A color-coded interface that visualizes emotions and schedules with clarity and empathy.

    Demo UI
    Emotion-adaptive interface with chained task suggestions: the system activates with human presence, listens, and adapts tasks based on user input.

  • 🕰️ Circadian Rhythm Integration
    Task timing suggestions align with natural energy cycles using a trained LSTM model.

  • 🎵 Ambient Response
    Music and visuals shift to support recovery, focus, or relaxation.
