MindPebbles

Project Concept

MindPebbles is a lightweight, audio-first journaling app designed to help people reflect on their thoughts and emotions through quick, effortless voice notes. The core idea is simple: You speak → the app listens → AI transforms your words into insights and speaks back a gentle reflection.

Constantin Musca Team Lead RSVP Approved

Senior Software Engineer at SERA (sera.ag)
Coded the core features (recording, pebbles listing, insight generation, emotions, custom personalities)
Constantin is a senior AI-focused software engineer with extensive experience designing and deploying intelligent systems across large-scale platforms and startups, including Facebook, where he built machine learning–driven automation for integrity and impersonation detection, and Genesys, where he led AI backend development for dialog services using NLU models, behavior trees, and data-driven decision engines. He later worked at Golden on knowledge graph validation, reputation systems, and AI-enriched entity pipelines. Currently at Sera, he develops multi-agent AI systems that combine greenhouse data, horticulture knowledge, and advanced analytics to generate autonomous insights and deep operational intelligence.
Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems: Designing autonomous AI systems that reason, collaborate, and generate actionable real-world insights. Applied Machine Learning: Developing practical ML solutions for automation, decision support, and complex data interpretation. Knowledge-Driven AI & RAG: Integrating knowledge graphs, structured data, and large language models to enable deeper reasoning.
AI agentic project for sera.ag to deliver insights/reports based on greenhouse data and horticulture knowledge. https://mindpebbles.app/ - Multi-Turn Journaling for Emotional Growth & Insight.

Karel Sedlacek RSVP Approved

Principal System Architecture Consultant at Right Side Round
Enhanced UI, personality tuning, demo video.
I usually bill myself as a distributed systems architect and software developer with 25+ years of experience, but, in addition to that I have a passion for AI/ML and cryptography. The intersection between these skill sets makes for some amazing possibilities. Always learning, always building, always can't wait to see what's next!
AI/ML projects,cryptography, system architecture, new ideas, co-founders, investors, mentors/advisors
A couple irons in the fire of my own at the moment, such as combining STT/TTS with a heavily RAG/tool-using LLM and some novel concepts to create better long-term AI companions Also maintaining open-source Elixir libraries `ash_geo` (Geo/Topo/PostGIS tooling for Ash framework), and `downstream` (HTTP streaming helper)
