Built IkigaiAI for the Zo
Temiloluwa Adeniyi
Built IkigaiAI for the Zo Computer × Contra "most creative personal website" challenge.
Most Zo users sign up and don't know what to build first. IkigaiAI fixes that — for everyone.
🐹 Meet Koro
A hamster monk who escaped the corporate AI hamster wheel, found his Ikigai, and now runs a dojo. Saffron robe. Chuck Taylors. Gold Cuban chain. He's been waiting for you.
🌸 The Quiz
→ 12 questions across 4 life zones
→ 5 archetypes: Flow Keeper 流 · Signal Builder 信 · Pattern Seeker 察 · Bridge Maker 橋 · Wanderer 迷
→ Each gets its own kanji, personalized AI readiness insight, and a custom Zo blueprint
→ Personalized results emailed within 60 seconds
🏯 Koro's Dojo
→ 5 rooms · 13 hidden scrolls
→ Some obvious · some need curiosity · some need a secret sequence
→ Each scroll = a plain-English Zo feature recipe + ready-to-paste prompt
→ Find all 13 → Koro celebrates with you
