SOKI : AI-driven Task management prototype for women's mental well-being

SOKI is a task assistant designed to reduce the invisible mental load carried by women when managing shared responsibilities, especially the guilt of constantly reminding others to complete tasks. Built with empathy, intelligent automation, and behavioral insights, SOKI helps users delegate without stress, follow up without tension, and promote shared accountability in personal or family environments.

My Role

As the Product Manager, I led this project end-to-end:

  • Framed the problem through qualitative and quantitative research

  • Directed MVP scope and feature planning

  • Oversaw UX design in Figma and prototyping on Glide

  • Managed go-to-market strategy and post-survey analysis

  • Ensured emotional design principles were embedded in the product experience

Research & Insights

  • Conducted 8 in-depth interviews and a 100-person survey

  • Analyzed responses using Tableau to identify behavioral patterns and emotional triggers

  • Created user personas and mapped emotional journeys to understand the delegation dynamic

Key insights:

  • Women often experience emotional guilt around task delegation

  • There’s a strong desire for neutral, guilt-free follow-ups

  • Emotional friction is just as real as operational friction

The Solution

SOKI introduces a system where reminders are generated automatically… not manually, reducing tension and preserving relationships. Our MVP focused on:

Key Features:

  • System-generated nudges that feel light and supportive

  • Emotionally tuned language (e.g., “Just a gentle check-in 😊”)

  • Role-based task visibility to distribute ownership

  • Emotional status indicators (e.g., “feeling overwhelmed”) for better mutual understanding

  • Mobile-first MVP developed in Glide for fast, accessible onboarding

SOKI doesn’t just help get things done, it helps people feel okay about how they get done.

Where AI Comes In

The heart of SOKI’s value lies in its emotionally intelligent automation. The system delivers context-aware, pre-written nudges that eliminate the need for users to follow up directly; a major source of stress. In future iterations, SOKI aims to learn from user behavior to fine-tune reminder tone, frequency, and delivery style; introducing personalization through lightweight AI that supports without overstepping.

Prototyping & Stack

  • Figma – UI/UX design and interaction flows

  • Glide – No-code development for mobile MVP

  • Tableau – Survey analysis and visual insights

  • Notion – Internal documentation and planning

    You can have a look at the 🔗 Figma Prototype and 🔗 Live MVP Site

Go-to-Market Strategy

  • Identified early user personas: young couples, parents, roommates

  • Launched research-backed messaging focused on “shared responsibility without guilt”

  • Planned acquisition through micro-influencer outreach, Reddit forums, and women-centered communities

  • Future growth to be driven by content marketing, in-app referrals, and empathetic storytelling

  • Planned acquisition through micro-influencer outreach, Reddit forums, and women-centered communities

  • Future growth to be driven by content marketing, in-app referrals, and empathetic storytelling

Outcome

  • Pilot users reported feeling “relieved” and “less responsible” when using SOKI

  • 70% said they’d prefer this over a traditional shared to-do list

  • Strong resonance with women balancing home, work, and family responsibilities

  • MVP validated a clear opportunity for a more compassionate productivity tool

Key Learnings

  • Productivity isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about emotional well-being

  • The tone of communication can either relieve stress or increase it

  • The best tools often solve problems you can’t see on a spreadsheet

  • PMs must design for emotion, not just functionality
