ARI - Adaptive Routine Intelligence

Track: CBRE and General

💡 Inspiration

People today, and even more in the future, struggle with shorter attention spans 🧠. Staying focused for long periods has become one of the biggest challenges in work and study. We wanted to design something that doesn’t just track productivity but helps engage, encourage, and support users through a live AI companion.

Our inspiration came from the idea that technology should feel friendly. The hummingbird 🐦 became our symbol for A.R.I. small, quick, and full of energy, always finding balance and flow. We wanted users to feel like they are flying through their day with guidance, not pressure.

⚙️ What It Does

A.R.I. (Adaptive Routine Intelligence) is a digital workspace companion that plans your day, helps you stay focused, and keeps you motivated through small, human-like interactions.

✨ Main Features

  • Personalized Dashboard: Tasks, to-dos, and goals organized in one adaptive space.
  • AI Helper: A hummingbird-inspired friend that chats, cracks jokes, and gives live encouragement.
  • Focus Detection: Syncs with your watch to notice when you lose focus, stressed and gently reminds you to get back on track or help with relaxing the mind.
  • Smart Workspaces: Side panels like Slack for easy navigation between projects or personal goals.
  • Gamified Motivation: Earn focus points, get rewards, and celebrate achievements 🌿.

🪶 Tagline: Fly Smarter. Work Lighter.

🧠 How We Built It

We created A.R.I. completely in Figma to bring the concept to life visually. The prototype shows how the system could function as a real AI workspace experience.

🎨 Design Process

  • Figma Used for wireframes, components, and flow mapping.
  • Mascot: Designed Ari the Hummingbird that has an origami style
  • Brief Prototype Flow:
    1. Sign-Up and Onboarding
    2. Loading Animation (Workspace Prep)
    3. Main Dashboard
    4. Focus Mode - silents all the apps in the background
    5. End-of-Day Reflection

Our focus was to make the experience feel alive, motivating, and emotionally intelligent, showing how an AI could truly support users’ attention and wellbeing in the future workplace.

We also want to say that this AI is not only in the workspace but can take control of the entire laptop and organize your browser tabs by grading the importance, when you are in focus mode.

Challenges we ran into

  • When brainstorming, we kept building on top of each idea that led to many features.
  • Figma glitches and accidental element deletions
  • Learning how to use components and smart overlays effectively
  • Our first hackathon journey
  • Collaborating with different levels of experience
  • External responsibilities

What's next for ARI

  • Make the website colors change according to the stress level as right now we only monitor and help through ARI and show a graph in the dashboard that is related to it.
