EchoMind - Assistive AI for Non-Verbal Autism
EchoMind is an AI-assisted communication system designed for non-verbal and minimally verbal autistic children. Many existing AAC tools are complex, text-heavy, and overwhelming, especially for children who struggle with fine motor skills or reading. EchoMind solves this by reducing communication to 2–3 simple steps using large, autism-friendly visual images and personalized AI predictions. The system uses Gemini to understand context and generate three likely needs, Qdrant to store patterns and learn from the child over time, and TTS to speak messages instantly. EchoMind supports future low-effort input modes such as EMG micro-movement sensing, eye-tracking, and non-invasive neural cues. Our goal is to create a communication experience that is intuitive, low-effort, emotionally supportive, and accessible, giving every child a voice.
