Project Description
VC in the Box is a multiagent pitch simulator where each investor persona acts as a voice-driven AI agent that listens, responds, and scores your pitch through realtime audio, avatars, and backend tools. The working prototype is stable and handles live voice streaming, avatar animation, and session scoring without breaking flow. The system is technically complex because it blends multimodal inputs and tools like conversational audio, 3D avatars, state machines, and serverless logic into one coordinated experience. The project is creative because it turns fundraising practice into a game and has real impact by helping founders rehearse with believable AI investors. It aligns with the theme by making the browser the control surface, voices the agents, the cloud the orchestration layer, and backend tools the evaluators. It uses Next.js, Clerk, Zustand, Tailwind CSS, ElevenLabs Conversational AI and WebSockets, Anam avatars and lip sync, Stripe, and custom Next.js API routes.
