PranAI is an AI-powered mental wellness companion built for students aged 13-23. At its core is the Parent Bridge — a system where students get a completely private space to feel whatever they actually feel, and parents get real-time emotional insight without ever seeing their child's conversations. The app addresses a crisis: 87% of Indian students experience exam-related anxiety, 1 in 4 teenagers feel persistently sad or hopeless, and 70% never seek help due to stigma or cost. Therapy costs ₹1,500-3,000 per session — unaffordable for most families. For Students: • 24/7 AI companions with four distinct personalities (Alex, Jordan, Taylor, Casey) • Gamified wellness with shell collection and daily streaks • Ocean-themed calming UI designed to reduce anxiety For Parents: • Real-time alerts when concerning emotional patterns emerge • AI-translated wellbeing summaries with actionable suggestions • 5-tier alert system: Celebration, Low Concern, Attention, Support, Urgent • Emergency helpline integration for high-risk situations Built with Flutter, Firebase, FCM notifications,Assembly AI STT and a dual-consent privacy architecture. The demo uses rule-based AI responses as a placeholder; the system is designed to plug in GPT-5.4 Mini API for production.
