Reducing notification anxiety and supporting intentional communication
Auri
Introduction
Our solution prioritizes organization, clarity, and productivity to reduce emotional strain in the face of high message volume and notification burnout.
Digital communication has become increasingly fragmented. Messages arrive continuously from text, email, social, and workplace platforms, each with individual demands and expectations. Missed messages and delayed responses cause users to feel overwhelmed and anxious. Auri is a unified messaging platform that consolidates communication across different channels and apps. It organizes incoming messages into a structured experience, allowing users to be in control of how and when they engage with their messages.

Research Insights
We discovered that user responses were not directly proportional to incoming notifications, typically due to time or emotional constraints. We wanted to minimize the response gap by lessening that burden.
The research phase focused on understanding how people manage high-volume messaging in everyday contexts. Through competitor analysis, user interviews, surveys, and user persona development, findings showed that users were primarily looking for support with volume management and response reminders.

Easy Access to the Essentials
Unread messages can look and feel more overwhelming when presented as a stacked inbox where all notifications are visible at once. The dashboard reduces this overload by only displaying what matters most. Smart features, like urgent messages, adjust to user behavior over time, and widgets are fully customizable to individual user needs.

Built for Customization
Communication styles and needs vary across roles and applications. Auri accounts for this through its workspace organization system. Logins can be organized into customized workspaces, each with a personalized visual identity. Focus and notification settings can be adjusted with each workspace accordingly, creating flexible and personal environments that suit each user’s categories.

A helper that keeps things on track
Auri, the built-in helper, is designed to encourage consistency without adding pressure. In-app reminders use responsive facial expressions to soften the visual stress of the inbox, and an opt-in streaks system gently reinforces positive messaging habits over time.
Smart tools to streamline the process
Integrated AI features analyze context to maximize efficiency and accuracy. Enhance features in the reply box use tone to ensure context-specific language, while the responsive toolbox updates with the thread. AI features adapt to user habits, learning over time.
