About āera
āera is building cognitive-performance infrastructure for operators in AI, tech, finance, and elite pressure environments.
We work with teams at OpenAI, McKinsey, Google DeepMind-adjacent groups, and fast-moving AI companies.
Our premise is simple:
High performers experience emotional spikes (overwhelm, back-to-backs, pre-pitch panic).
The fastest way to reset the brain is breathwork — if delivered instantly and frictionlessly.
āera’s job: One button → Right reset → Back in flow.
We are now building our first lightweight MVP.
What we’re building (MVP)
A super-minimal, dark-mode web experience + a Slack bot v0.
1 — Landing Page (Lovable or lightweight custom)
Clean, dark UI (Apple / Oura energy)
Single input: “How do you feel?”
User types: “overwhelm”, “tired”, “anxiety”, “pre-pitch”, etc.
Button = breathe
Output: 1 tailored audio reset sessions (we provide MP3s)
Each audio opens in a minimal waveform player (clean, modern, mobile-first)
2 — Audio Player (lightweight)
Dark mode
Simple waveform (Wavesurfer.js ok)
Play / Pause / Duration
Minimalist aesthetic, zero clutter
Works in Slack/WhatsApp webviews
3 — Slack Bot v0 (very simple)
User types: /breathe stress or “stress” in DM
Bot returns 2–3 relevant sessions
With small card previews + audio links
No ML yet — simple keyword routing is fine for v0
4 — Routing Logic (simple)
If user input contains “overwhelm” → return X, Y, Z
If “tired” → return A, B, C
Can be JSON, Airtable, flat file — no need for a backend architecture yet
5 — Delivery
Working prototype
Deployed somewhere simple
Documentation on how to update sessions & routing
Who We’re Looking For
A fast, AI-native 0→1 product builder, not a corporate PM.
You are someone who:
ships MVPs in days, not months
is comfortable with ambiguity
has taste (clean, minimal, modern UI)
can build lightweight web apps (Lovable, Webflow, or custom)
can implement simple Slack bots (Bolt SDK or similar)
thinks in terms of hypothesis → test → iterate
is AI-fluent (LLMs, basic routing, prompt design)
works well with tiny teams and scrappy loops
If you’ve built:
✔️ Slack bots
✔️ AI-powered prototypes
✔️ breathwork/meditation audio experiences
✔️ lightweight web apps
✔️ LOVABLE prototypes
…you’re a perfect fit.
Deliverables
Minimal landing page (dark mode, clean UI)
Emotional-state → session routing
Three audio players (we provide MP3s)
Slack bot v0
Documentation
Timeline
5–7 days for v1.
We move fast.
