🎬 VibeCheck

Your real-time AI director. No bad takes.

📖 Read the full story: I Built an AI That Watches You Film TikToks and Coaches You in Real-Time

VibeCheck watches you film through your webcam, coaches you live through your earbuds, scores every take, and generates your TikTok caption — so you never post a bad take again.

Built for the Vision Possible: Agent Protocol hackathon by WeMakeDevs × VisionAgents (Feb 23 – Mar 1, 2026).

💡 Why VibeCheck?

Content creators waste hours doing 50+ takes of the same video. There's no real-time feedback loop — they film alone, review alone, and guess what went wrong.

VibeCheck solves this with a live AI director that watches you film and coaches you through your earbuds, cutting production time in half.

• 🎯 Saves creator time — Real-time feedback eliminates wasted takes
• 📈 Improves content quality — AI catches what humans miss (eye contact, energy dips, posture)
• 🌍 Democratises professional coaching — Every creator gets a personal director, free

🎥 How It Works

Pick a Mode → Describe Your Video → Film with Live AI Coaching → Get Your Results

1. Choose your vibe — Director (precise), Bestie (hype), or Roast (chaos)
2. Describe your video — "30-second storytime about missing my flight"
3. Film live — AI watches via YOLO pose detection + Moondream face analysis and coaches you in real-time through Gemini
4. Get results — Eye contact %, energy score, aesthetic profile, and a generated TikTok caption with hashtags

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Python 3.10+
• API keys: Stream (GetStream), Gemini, Moondream, Deepgram

1. Backend

cd agent
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Create .env
cat > .env << EOF
STREAM_API_KEY=your_stream_api_key
STREAM_API_SECRET=your_stream_api_secret
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your_elevenlabs_key
MOONDREAM_API_KEY=your_moondream_key
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your_deepgram_key
EOF

python server.py

Backend runs at http://localhost:8000.

2. Frontend

cd frontend
npm install

# Create .env
echo "VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000" > .env

npm run dev

Frontend runs at http://localhost:5173.

3. Use It

1. Open http://localhost:5173 in Chrome
2. Pick a mode (Director / Bestie / Roast)
3. Describe your video topic
4. Allow camera + mic access
5. Hit New Take to start recording
6. AI coaches you live through your speakers/earbuds
7. Hit Cut to end a take, End Session to see results
