AAPNA’s Hackathon 2025 – AI Edition brought together innovators to solve real-world challenges using intelligent systems. The focus was on practical, scalable, and human-centered AI solutions across productivity, automation, and wellbeing.
Key Themes from the Hackathon:
Automating time logging through intelligent insights
AI-powered proposal and estimation assistants
Personal AI avatars for productivity
Smart testing and reporting assistants
AI companions for mental wellness
AMAN— For the storm inside your smile—is an AI-powered mental wellness companion designed for the quiet struggles people carry every day. It is built to listen without judgment, support without pressure, and guide without overwhelming. Always available, deeply empathetic, and practical in its approach, AMAN helps users express, reflect, and find clarity through small, meaningful interactions—making mental wellness more accessible, private, and human.
Priyanka Khatter, a seasoned HR professional with a deep curiosity for people and behavior, stepped into Hackathon 2025 with no technical background—just a strong desire to learn, experiment, and challenge the idea that innovation belongs only to “techies.” Having explored AI tools earlier, she decided to push herself further: not just to use AI, but to build something meaningful from scratch. As a solo participant, driven purely by curiosity and empathy, she entered unfamiliar territory—and emerged with AMAN.
What Sets AMAN Apart
It Solves a Human Problem, Not Just a Technical One
While many hackathon solutions focused on efficiency and automation, AMAN addressed something far more personal—mental and emotional wellbeing. It targets a space where the need is urgent, but access is limited, making its impact far more meaningful and scalable.
Beyond a Chatbot – A Complete Support System
AMAN is not just a conversational AI. It combines multiple layers of support—daily check-ins, guided exercises, journaling, insights, and community interaction—creating a holistic ecosystem rather than a single feature.
Builds Self-Awareness, Not Just Engagement
One of AMAN’s strongest differentiators is its ability to reflect patterns back to the user. Instead of only responding in the moment, it helps users understand their triggers, habits, and emotional cycles over time—driving real behavioral change.
Anonymous Yet Deeply Connected
With AMAN Circles, users can connect with others facing similar challenges without revealing their identity. This balance of anonymity and community creates a safe space that most platforms fail to achieve.
Designed for Real Life, Not Just Demo
From onboarding to daily usage, AMAN is built with practical behavior in mind—short interactions, simple tools, and consistent nudges. It fits into everyday life instead of demanding attention.
Accessibility at Its
Core
AMAN removes traditional barriers—no appointments, no high costs, no stigma. It is available anytime, anywhere, making mental wellness support truly inclusive.
