For this challenge, I'm excited to share this first glimpse at an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app, named after my own non-speaking son whose name just happens to have the letters "aac" in his name! You'll meet him in the first half of the video.
The idea for a new AAC app that used animated characters to speak the words came to me during my first few weeks of learning Rive, and I'm so happy that this challenge has pushed me to make a considerable amount of progress and be able to show some of the features that set it apart, besides the fun interactive characters.
The ability to quickly add and remove words, quick phrases, easy to read icons, and intuitive categories, are all part of the app experience, and the characters (starting with just a couple ready-made characters, but eventually a custom avatar builder) bring an element of fun to the otherwise purely functional world of AAC.
When it's ready, I hope this app makes it easier and more fun for families, caregivers, and language-delayed people everywhere to communicate with each other.
Thank you for watching this video!

You won already.
I created a social post generator made in Wonder and the Claude MCP!
I know that Wonder is great for app or web design, but I wanted to use it in a different way.
Why? Because Wonder can create assets, templates, can follow guidelines, and be way more creative than a simple AI environment.
Here are the steps by step of what I did:
1- I created a template using Wonder. I used my brand assets, chose the font style, and general look.
2- I connected Claude MCP and created a small web platform to generate a good prompt.
3- I used the prompt on Claude, connected to Wonder, to generate the post. Wonder/Claude can choose the text, post length, which design of specific slides to take from the template, and also decide which image fits best!
4- I directly worked in Wonder to fix some small stuff and export!
Here you can find the link to my Wonder file where you can find some other tests (I would love to do more tests, but I finish the credits!!)

1.Click anywhere on the screen to move the character. The character walks to nearby destinations and runs to faraway locations, with automatic directional detection.
2.A wardrobe panel pops up when the character stands inside the circular zone. You can swap hats, glasses, tops and bottoms. Drag the character to rotate it left or right.
3.The character’s gaze follows your mouse cursor. Its hands are draggable. Tapping the head triggers a tap animation; tapping it five times consecutively will activate an angry animation.
4.Click on the sofa, soccer ball, barbell and coffee machine in the scene, and the character will walk over and play a dedicated animation for each object.
