Vedapath is a spiritual and wisdom content app combining AI conversations, mood-based content, and gamified rewards to build a daily reflection practice. This project was a design assignment auditing the app's first-session experience and redesigning onboarding to reduce drop-off.

Vedapath's onboarding ran nearly 15 screens deep before users reached the app's core value, too long for a first session, and the "first wow" moment (an AI conversation) was undercut by response latency. The goal was to shorten the path to value without cutting what makes the app distinct.

Compressed onboarding from 15 screens to 9 by cutting redundant steps and repositioning key moments, kept the AI conversation as the core "wow" but addressed its latency problem, and added a mood-based check-in as a lightweight Day 2 return trigger tied to the app's reward system. The result is a faster path to value without losing what makes Vedapath distinct.
