The Potential of ChatGPT for Personalized Meditations

With the recent?announcements around the ChatGPT and Whisper APIs, allowing developers to integrate OpenAI models into their applications, I wanted to explore how these services could be used.
In my?ChatGPT Is My Meditation Teacher?article, I played around with the idea of incorporating generative AI scripts to personalize a meditation experience. This week, I brought that idea to life to simulate what a ChatGPT-powered meditation app would look like.
To start, I trained ChatGPT on the parameters for designing a meditation experience and fed it some examples of meditation scripts. I asked it to incorporate three inputted variables in the meditation script: Name, Mood, and Happy Place.
At first request, it only incorporated two of the three.
Upon a second request, it captured the three inputs and integrated them into the meditation script nicely.
To bring this to life, the next step was finding an AI text-to-speech tool which would provide a natural, relaxing voice to guide this meditation. There were a number of tools I tried, which all had seemingly different benefits and limitations, and I landed on?Murf.ai.
Murf had a wide selection of different voices, and the interface made it easy to edit the script and incorporate different elements into the production such as background music and images/video.

One big first observation is that to capture the essence of a meditation, the speed of the voice, the pacing, and the incorporation of pauses in the script are really important. And voice-to-text by default does not factor in those elements into the reading.
By default, it does not sound like a meditation. It sounds like a pharmaceutical commercial where they are reading the side effects of a drug.
So I needed to adjust the voice speed and manually incorporate pauses within the syntax. It still doesn’t sound as perfect and polished as a trained human, but it’s certainly closer.
I finalized it by incorporating a Dall-E image of a “Big Sur Sunrise” as the thumbnail.
Here is the final result:
These are my top 3 takeaways:

2 年Hey Josh, I love this. Ogimi has productized this exact use case. You can try a beta version at the following link. We're revamping the UI/UX for relaunch in the next few weeks. I'd love to chat, DM me if you want to set up a time? https://app.ogimi.ai/meditation/ai

2 年Fascinating stuff, Josh! I have to say that I find it reassuring that the AI voices are not yet human enough sounding yet. I would rather not see AI take over the most human-centric people-driven jobs there are in the world, like are done by the greatest mentors and teachers. Let's rather see if we can give them immortal life, like Tony Robbins is trying to do, with his own voice and teachings!

2 年The possiblities are limitless. Referring to point 1, I do see some quicks wins on high demand/low risk tasks, allowing you to avoid much of supervision. How great it iwill be if the three AIs are able to work in sync without human intervention and how can we start thinking about the future of work, complementing AI with human capablities. Food for thought. Keep it Josh, inspriing stuff.

2 年This is pretty mind-blowing. Sometimes I feel so jaded by technology advancements, I don't even realise just how wild it is you created a voice guided personal meditation in just a few steps. ??
