Vibes AI builds neurowellness technology that turns a brief voice check-in into a picture of the user’s cognitive state, then pairs it with human-composed restorative sound. Its MANTRA platform reads more than 500 acoustic and linguistic signals to produce Frequency, Brain Readiness, and Resilience scores, creating a measurable loop between noticing a state and trying to shift it. Founded by Joanna Peña-Bickley and Victoria “Toy” Deiorio, the company combines voice AI with vibroacoustic design and publishes research through its Vibes Lab.
