AI Dream Whisper is a groundbreaking application that leverages the power of artificial intelligence to transform passive nighttime hours into a unique learning experience. Drawing inspiration from scientific research on the enhancement of learning through auditory stimuli during REM sleep, this app provides students with calming, educational stories designed for nighttime learning.

• OpenAI: Used for generating educational stories based on user input.
• PlayHT: A text-to-speech API used for converting the generated stories into audio format.
• Flask: A lightweight web framework for Python, used to set up the web server and handle requests.
• Bootstrap: A popular CSS framework used for styling the web interface.
