I just shipped a meditation feature. Here's exactly where I used AI — and where I didn't.

Yoga Wake Up has had guided meditation for years. But this week we launched something new: Guided Silence — a meditation experience where I use my voice to teach you a technique to sit in silence.

There are two parts to the feature:

Meditation Timer — you set the duration and number of bells. A 432 Hz bell tone I created in Suno (an AI music tool) plays at the right moments via AVFoundation, the same audio engine that powers all our content. Clean, simple, effective.

Guided Silence — same timer, but bookended by a short intro and outro I recorded in Pro Tools. My voice gets you settled, then steps out of the way. The silence is yours.
