Design Challenge

Design Challenge

The challenge was to design a planning app where AI feels genuinely useful instead of gimmicky. Many calendar tools show what is planned, but they do not always help users prepare, leave on time or understand the rhythm of their day. I wanted Pace to feel like a calm assistant that supports users at the right moment. The challenge was to add intelligence without taking control away from the user.

I wanted Pace to feel like a calm assistant that supports users at the right moment. The challenge was to add intelligence without taking control away from the user.

I mapped the main user journey around planning a day with AI. Before the day starts, users check their schedule and add anything missing. During the day, the app sends contextual reminders, such as when a meeting starts soon or when the user needs to leave to catch a train. I designed different ways to add events: manually, by voice or through chat. The AI helps fill in details such as time, duration, notes and location, but the user still reviews and confirms what gets added. I also explored the "My daily story" format, which summarizes the day in a more human and readable way than a traditional calendar list.

The Result

The result is a mobile planning concept that turns schedules, reminders and travel-time nudges into a calmer daily flow. Pace supports users before and during the day, without becoming too intrusive or complicated. This project shows my interest in AI-assisted products, mobile UX and interaction design. It focuses on practical moments where AI can reduce effort and help people move through their day with more confidence.
