About the project
The Challenge
Nearly 1 in 2 people worldwide will face a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Meanwhile, ≈350 million people practice meditation globally. Most digital tools still rely on static, pre-recorded content. These one-size-fits-all sessions often fail to address the personal and evolving nature of mental health needs.

The Solution
Designed to support mental well-being, Lumia utilizes Generative AI to generate customized relaxation sessions tailored to each user’s specific needs, whether easing anxiety, improving focus, or simply unwinding.
Unlike traditional meditation apps with preset tracks, Lumia adapts in real-time to user input through text-to-speech (TTS) technology, making each session feel relevant, supportive, and uniquely yours. Using generative AI and text-to-speech technology, Lumia provides a different, instant, and personalized approach to meditation.
The process & workflow
Lumia originated as an idea in our Innovation Lab, inspired by the purpose of making meditation more personal and responsive to real-world emotional challenges. The team dove deep into research, focusing specifically on text-to-speech technology and generative AI. The focus was on exploring how voice synthesis could be made to feel more natural and how prompts could shape tailored meditation scripts in real-time.
Design played a central role throughout the project. Because Lumia is a mental health tool, each decision in its UX/UI process was made with intention by expert product designers at Light-it. From color palette and illustrations to voice selection and wireframes, every element was crafted to evoke calm, build trust, and support emotional well-being.
Light-it team turned early concepts into detailed mockups and interactive prototypes. We launched an MVP, tested it in real scenarios, and refined it through continuous iteration. Along the way, we explored advanced prompt engineering, experimented with various AI and TTS providers, and found the right balance between static and dynamic content to create personalized yet coherent sessions.
