Inspiration

I built StudySafe AI because I noticed that many students struggle to manage schoolwork, activities, and stress. Burnout often happens before anyone notices, and students rarely have tools to help them balance their workload. I wanted to create an AI assistant that helps students plan study time, detect early signs of stress, and adopt healthier study habits.

What it does

StudySafe AI lets students enter their subjects, deadlines, daily available study hours, and current stress level. It then generates a personalized study plan, highlights areas where stress might be high, and gives supportive guidance to help students study more effectively. The AI is designed to be safe, responsible, and easy to use, so students can improve their study habits without feeling overwhelmed.

How we built it

I built the app using Next.js and TypeScript for a clean, responsive frontend. The AI analyzes student input and uses natural language processing to detect stress from the text.

The app calculates stress by combining three factors:

Deadlines – how close or heavy upcoming tasks are

Hours Studied – how much time the student plans to spend each day

Sentiment from Input Text – how stressed or anxious the student sounds in their own words

These factors are combined into a single stress score, which the app uses to adjust study plan recommendations and offer supportive suggestions.

I also made a slide deck and a 2–3 minute demo video to show how the app works in real time.

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring the AI gives helpful suggestions without overstepping into medical advice

Completing a working, polished app under hackathon time limits

Designing a simple interface that is intuitive for students while clearly showing AI features

Tuning the stress calculation so it feels realistic and useful

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a fully functional AI study assistant from scratch
