What it is

A platform where users pick a counsellor, share their birth chart, and either start a low-latency voice call or a text chat. STT runs in the browser via Deepgram Flux, the LLM is Gemini, and the voice is Rumik SILK streamed over WebSocket.

Stack

• Web — Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind 4
• Backend — Convex (DB + functions + auth bridge)
• Auth — better-auth with @convex-dev/better-auth
• Voice — Deepgram Flux (STT) · Gemini Flash Lite (LLM) · Rumik SILK (TTS)
• Chat — Gemini 2.5 Flash, persisted in Convex
• Voice agent (optional) — Pipecat server in voice-agent/, not used by the default browser-direct flow

Run it

pnpm install
pnpm dev   # next + convex in parallel

Set in `.env.local`:

GEMINI_API_KEY=...        # or GOOGLE_API_KEY
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=...
RUMIK_API_KEY=...         # or SILK_API_KEY
SITE_URL=http://localhost:3000

First run also pulls Convex env via `npx convex dev`.
