Voice Pictionary with a live AI partner AI Pictionary is a timed drawing game where your sketch is the clue and an AI is the guesser. It keeps firing spoken guesses as you draw, so the experience feels like a real back and forth instead of a single static answer. Why it exists: People scroll past “cool tech” unless the payoff is instant. Here the payoff is obvious in a few seconds: you draw, the AI talks, and the round ends with a voiced reaction when you win or lose. ElevenLabs: All guess lines and end of round reactions use text to speech, so audio carries the personality and pacing of the game. Kiro: Development followed spec driven workflows so requirements, design, and task lists guided implementation and kept the full stack coherent under time pressure. What powers it: A React app for drawing and game flow, an Express API, vision for reading the canvas and context, and ElevenLabs for the voice layer, plus modes like hints, word of the day, and AI generated words for variety. Your canvas is the prompt. The AI answers out loud.
