Cypher is a real-time, AI-powered coding companion designed to make programming more human. It combines code assistance, emotional awareness, and a physical holographic presence to create a supportive, interactive environment for developers — especially those grinding alone during long hours or late nights.
Unlike tools like GitHub Copilot, Cypher doesn’t just help you write code — it understands how you feel while writing it. Using webcam-based emotion detection, Cypher can sense when you're distracted, tired, or stressed and responds accordingly — offering focus reminders, motivation, or simply suggesting you take a break.
It integrates seamlessly with your coding workflow via:
A browser-based avatar that interacts with you like a real teammate
A VS Code extension that provides live feedback, suggestions, and interview-style questions
A holographic projection setup (using a simple projector + blurred glass sheet) that brings Cypher to life as a physical presence beside your workspace
Cypher is a blend of clever tech and pure jugaad — proving that innovation doesn't have to be complex to be impactful.
It’s not just about fixing bugs.
It’s about making sure you’re okay while fixing them.
