=='''Strategy 2: TITULOBuzzly AI'''==[[File:CreaBond.jpg|thumb|CreaBond|link=Special:FilePath/CreaBond.jpg]]TEXTOBuzzly AI is an AI-powered companion designed to support UPC students in managing both their emotional well-being and productivity. Operating through accessible platforms like WhatsApp, it proactively seeks to mitigate stress, anxiety, and burnout associated with academic life. Initial user research with UPC students revealed a strong need for a private, non-judgmental outlet, with many describing the concept as having a "psychologist in my pocket who can't judge me." The bot provides personalized reminders, "quick win" tasks to build positive momentum, and interactive, game-like therapies. When needed, it serves as a bridge, connecting students to professional support from the university's counseling services. '''Main Objectives''' #Provide students with a 24/7 proactive companion that encourages healthy mental habits by directly linking productivity with well-being.#Enable early detection of students experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, or creative blocks through non-intrusive interactions.#Foster student engagement and self-efficacy through gamified, evidence-based tools like "quick wins" and interactive therapies.#Strengthen the connection between students and institutional wellness services, creating an efficient and integrated ecosystem of care within UPC. '''Alignment with UPC Student Priorities''' Validation through interviews with over 25 students confirmed that many feel they have no one to talk to about private or serious issues and that student interactions are often limited to academic work. Buzzly AI directly addresses this validated gap by offering a confidential and accessible support channel. This project expands on the mission of previous UPC cohorts focused on community and purpose-driven innovation by addressing the emotional and psychological dimension of student life. It promotes resilience, balance, and well-being as essential components of academic and creative success. This aligns directly with UPC’s commitment to fostering innovation with human impact, integrating technology and emotional intelligence to strengthen the student experience. '''Impact and Success Metrics''' The success of Buzzly AI will be measured by its ability to create a sustainable and measurable impact. Key indicators include:
*Number of students identified and referred before escalation to crisis intervention
*Ratio of automated triage to in-person consultation requests
*Percentage of bot users rating health as "good" or better
