(insights into submission)

Imagine if AI kept improving your routine week by week, helping you achieve your goals in the most efficient way.

And imagine that when you do an intense activity, the app suggests relaxing activities like deep breathing, gentle stretches, etc.

Imagine if the app had a range of exercises to improve your focus, impulse control, critical thinking, and other important brain functions.

And if AI knew you best not through your sugarcoated chats, but through your real task performance and daily expressive writing.

For the Figma Config Makeathon, I tried to tackle this problem. While people often blame AI for causing them to underutilize their brains and making them anxious as now that they have so many goals to juggle at once while keeping up with an even faster-changing world—I thought AI could actually help solve the very problem it's being blamed for.

So I made Sarthi (Charioteer; a term representing a guiding light in Hinduism). This app helps guide us through our goals and keep our brains active.

For now, given the time and credit limitations, I was able to build out each core flow in the app (goal setting and management, expressive writing, weekly counseling, and creating various Anti-AI exercises).

I also added seed (demo) data so that the judges/reviewers can actually see how the flows will work, as well as how the app behaves when used fresh after the demo data is removed.

Although showing some of the functionalities wasn't possible within the scope of the current project (e.g., after 90 minutes of study in timer mode, the AI suggests relaxing exercises and similarly for other tasks depending on the nature of the tasks), I've tried to include as much as possible in this built prototype.

I'm looking forward to diving deeper into this app and trying to turn it into an actual product—one that has the potential to support many of us with what it has to offer.

@figma @contra, tons of thanks to you for this opportunity—for giving me access to Figma's tools and for helping me open up my mind, so that I could find real clarity in positioning myself as a designer and discovering purpose in my design.
