Student often face challenges related to procrastination and poor time management.
With numerous classes and assignments to juggle, Staying organized and on track can be overwhelming.
The shift to online learning has further highlighted the need for self-motivation and self-discipline in managing academic responsibilities.
Developing an AI-powered productivity assistant aims to provide students with personalized support in managing their daily tasks, assignments, and deadlines.
Competitive Analysis
Competitive Analysis
Trello and Todoist provide a platform for users to create to-do lists and task management.
MyStudyLife allows for scheduling and tracking of assignments.
None of these competitors offer personalized study plans that are tailored to the student's learning style and academic goals.
This could be an opportunity for my AI Assistant to stand out by providing a clear path forward for students.
User Interviews
User Interviews
I conducted user interviews to gain insights directly from my target audience - college students. (4 students, remote/ in- person)
The aim was to understand their experiences and challenges in managing their daily tasks and explore their thoughts on using AI-powered technology to enhance productivity.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
- How do you currently manage your daily tasks and prioritize them?
- What are the most challenging aspects of managing your tasks, and how do you overcome them?
- Have you used any technology to help manage your tasks? If so, what features did you find helpful, and what were the pain points?
- How comfortable are you with using AI-powered technology? Have you used any personal assistants before, such as Siri or Alexa?
- What features and functionality would you expect from an AI-powered personal assistant?
- How would you like an AI-powered personal assistant to integrate with your current technology and workflows?
I organized all the data using affinity mapping, where I collated their quotes and identified trends, eventually forming six main insights and four main themes.
