At HackHazards 2025, we didn’t just show up to code.
We showed up to solve.
The problem was brutal and obvious:
The world is drowning in anxiety, overthinking, and burnout.
Traditional therapy was expensive and inconvenient.
While Self-help apps were mostly noise. notifications here and there. tpp much fluff and NO real depth.
We needed a tool that finds a clear path through the mess - a tool that actually helps you organise your mind without overwhelming it.
So we built Nirvana.AI - click here for a live demo.
TL;DR
Powered by: AI journaling, CBT micro-exercises, mood tracking, mental health insights.
Built with: Next.js + Express.js + MongoDB + Groq.

What is Nirvana.AI?
Nirvana.AI is your personal operating system for mental clarity.
A minimalist toolkit built for students, young adults, and anyone tired of carrying invisible emotional weight.
Think of it as your always-on, judgment-free mental health companion.
It helps you check in with yourself, journal deeply, do micro-exercises to rewire your brain, and track your emotional patterns — all backed by CBT techniques and AI-generated insights.
No noise.
No spammy "mindfulness" popups.
Just real reflection, at your pace.
Core Features
- Rich Journaling: A beautiful, distraction-free editor for brain dumps, emotional logs, and daily reflections.
- AI Chat: Talk with an empathetic AI that adapts to your emotional state and history. Not just a bot — a guide.
- Micro-Exercises: Quick CBT-based activities to boost resilience, fight spiralling thoughts, and build better habits.
- Mood Tracking: Visualise your emotional health over time with smart analytics, without feeling like you're "being measured."
- Privacy First: Fully encrypted, anonymised storage. Your mind is yours alone.

Challenges (and how we crushed them)
Context Aggregation Hell
Merging journal entries, mood logs, chats, and exercises - we needed real context, not random snippets.
We engineered layered ingestion pipelines and schema validations till the outputs finally felt human.
Emotional Intelligence in AI Reports
Tuning the system prompts to avoid sounding like a dry, robotic therapist was hard.
Privacy at the Core
No compromises. End-to-end encryption. Anonymised data handling.
We respected mental health data like it was sacred, because it is.
The Why
We didn't build this because it sounded cool.
We built Nirvana.AI because we needed it ourselves.
No calendar reminders, no robotic chats.
Just a simple, powerful place to offload, understand, and evolve your mind - on your terms, of course.
Mental health tools shouldn't feel like chores.
They should feel like breathing.
That's what Nirvana.AI is.
