DEMI
Problem
Students needed a clearer way to plan academic paths without bouncing between disconnected degree requirements, schedules, and advising notes.
Goal
Build an AI-assisted planning platform that turns confusing academic decisions into a more guided, confidence-building workflow.
Research / Process
Mapped student planning pain points, prioritized the highest-friction moments, and converted those insights into a fast product flow.
Solution
Designed DEMI as a practical academic planning assistant with clearer recommendations, structured next steps, and lightweight decision support.
Final Outcome
Delivered a polished hackathon prototype and product story ready for judging and stakeholder presentation.
Impact
Placed 2nd for the academic planning platform concept by combining product clarity, AI workflow thinking, and fast execution.
Reflection
The strongest idea was not adding more information, but organizing decisions so students could move forward faster.
