# Ascende: one sentence becomes organized records

I built Ascende to bring finances, body and mind into one product. The central idea is simple: describe your day in natural language, then review the records the app helps create from that conversation.

## What does Ascende demonstrate as a product I built myself?

Ascende connects a natural-language entry to finance, workout and sleep records that a person can review. I built the application from concept to publication, bringing together interface, authentication, data and context for the advisor. The evidence presented is the published product; authenticated workflows were not audited for this case study.

## The challenge was making tracking less work

When each part of life lives in a different app, recording a day means repeating tasks and switching screens. Ascende starts from a different interaction: a sentence can contain an expense, a workout and sleep information.

The product challenge is organizing that information without forcing the user to start with a form. The technical challenge is connecting capture, review, persistence and context for the AI advisor.

My contribution

## A complete product beyond the AI conversation

01

### The capture experience

I built the application and capture workflows that turn natural language into records by area. Users can review the information before confirming it.

02

### Accounts, data and context

The product brings together authentication, persistent data and an advisor working with account context. React and TypeScript power the app; Supabase provides the database, authentication and server functions.

03

### Integrations and launch

Project documentation covers the Claude API, Netlify deployment and imports from Apple Health exports and CSV files. The public website also describes WhatsApp capture and conversation.

## One input, three records to review

“I spent R$47 on groceries, trained legs and slept 6 hours.”

1. 01

   ### Money

   R$47 at the grocery store

2. 02

   ### Workout

   Leg workout

3. 03

   ### Sleep

   6 hours of sleep

Illustrative example with fictional data. These cards explain the workflow; they are not a screenshot of a real account.

The outcome

## The outcome is a published product

Ascende is available online with a public product presentation, account access and a defined use case. It demonstrates my ability to connect user experience, software and AI in a product of my own.

### From idea to a live product

* Web app and account access
* Record capture and AI advisor
* Documented integrations and a published product

The evidence in this case study is the published product. Features were checked against the public page and project documentation; authenticated workflows were not audited for this presentation.

## What this project demonstrates

I can start with an interaction idea and build the parts that support it: interface, data, authentication, AI functions and deployment. The goal goes beyond generating an answer to bringing information into a product someone can return to.

## Sources and context

Henrique Pett’s personal project, not a studio client. Technical content is based on the project repository and documentation, alongside its public page.
