It’s difficult to jot down one’s thoughts, frustrations , or ideas on the fly with how busy and face paced the world is.
Solution
A multi-input note-taking application that integrates voice, text, and image capture to streamline the process of recording thoughts and ideas, thereby reducing cognitive load.
In our modern society, people are mentally overbooked due to modern cognitive load, forgetfulness, and notes are too hard.
Our objective was to delve into the intersection of mental health and digital therapy, as our team frequently engaged with AI to navigate personal issues and life challenges.
“ With how dangerous AI can be, I don’t want to seek mental-health advice or suggestions through AI”
“If there was a way to just quickly get my thoughts out without needing to get a pen-and-paper out, that would be AMAZING”
"I have a journal but it’s really hard to keep up because I am bad at forming habits and writing down my thoughts is a hassle. The idea of cementing a memory or transient thought I have/had is the most appealing aspect about journalling for me."
While users did not perceive AI-driven therapy as beneficial, they acknowledged the importance of capturing thoughts digitally. Nevertheless, they frequently relied on the Notes app, which they found difficult to access quickly and while on the move.
With our market research, there are only journaling apps that allow you to write down your thoughts similar to a diary. There are no apps out there that allows you to easily access and add notes in a fast manner.
A prototype that makes it very easy to quickly jot down or voice memo thoughts and ideas you are having on the fly. The prototype then condenses the many thoughts that people have into an easily digestible report of all their thoughts, reducing their cognitive load. They would be able to record important dates, things to do, ideas, or even rant to themselves.

MyMind will organize all thoughts in a list format, while the reports page provides users with AI-generated analyses and summaries of their thoughts. The profile page enables categorization and retrieval of past video recordings, and the recording page offers options for selecting the type of recording for ideas.
We wanted to ensure we were addressing all concerns regarding journaling and how we can help high stress situations. To achieve this, we incorporated features that cater to diverse preferences and needs. Users can jot down thoughts by typing, which allows for quick and organized entries. For those who prefer a more personal touch, voice recording offers an intimate way to capture emotions and reflections. Additionally, the option to photograph moments or inspirations provides a visual dimension to journaling, making it a versatile tool for self-expression and stress relief.

Working remotely presented some challenges, particularly in terms of communication and ensuring everyone was aligned with the project's goals. Coordinating across different time zones and managing virtual meetings required extra effort and adaptability. Despite these hurdles, I found immense satisfaction in collaborating with the team and bringing the project's visuals to life. The experience taught me valuable lessons in digital collaboration and creative problem-solving. Given the limited timeframe, I believe our solution was a commendable reflection of our efforts.
If I had more time with this project, I would conduct a usability testing and a mood tracker.
