AchieveHub: Maximize your college experience through social goal-setting!

Entering college is scary — you’re suddenly immersed in an unfamiliar environment with thousands of new people around you. From the get-go, you have so much on your hands, from course signups to social events to club fairs… it’s inevitably overwhelming.

In order to help you navigate the pace and spontaneity of college, we designed AchieveHub, a social goal-setting app to connect you to your community through your goals, passions, and activities. Through dynamic goal-setting, AchieveHub connects you with other, like-minded college students, inspiring you to try new things, stay on top of your goals, and meet new people!

Setting and keeping track of diverse, extensive goals is hard, and holding yourself accountable to consistently stay on track is even harder. AchieveHub addresses this pervasive issue by not only providing a centralized place for you to set and break down your goals, but also through a social accountability component where you are encouraged to share your progress with friends.

Say you’ve just moved into your dorm and are looking to learn more about your friends and get out to meet new people. Download AchieveHub and you’ll see a list of recommended guides to get you started — popular goals set by other members of your community. These guides provide inspiration for goals and activities, and give a great starting point to connect with new friends who have the same ideas!

As you set goals and add friends, AchieveHub’s utility expands — not only do you have more incentive to complete your own goals, you also have inspiration through what your friends are doing.

AchieveHub has five main components:

• Friend Feed
• Guide Search
• Goal Creation
• Roadmap
• Profile

On the Friend Feed, you can see all of the goals posted by you and your friends. Like and comment to interact with your friends!

Say you come across an interesting goal on the Friend Feed and want to try it out yourself. This is possible on the Guide Search page, where you can not only see the Top 5 goals recommended by AchieveHub, but also can search for any goals your friends have made public!

To create a goal yourself, head to the Goal Creation page. Here, there are two main ways to create a goal — either provide all the details yourself, or have AchieveAI generate comprehensive subgoals based on the information you provide. Our Goal Creation functionality helps you flexibly break down your tasks into subgoals, whether they be original, AI-suggested, or both. This feature allows you to make large goals more achievable, and you can even post completed subgoals to the Friend Feed to share more incremental progress with friends!

The Roadmap provides an overview of your accomplishments, displaying a tidy gallery of all of your goal photos (which you can click on to see specific goals) and a more specific completed tab to visualize your progress. This feature allows you to take stock of your achievements so far: celebrating your accomplishments is important!

Finally, you can head to your Profile page to see and edit active goals and guides, edit your profile, and add new friends.

We hope that AchieveHub will grow to become a useful community-building tool for students; finding community in a stressful, dynamic setting like college is so important, as are staying on top of your goals and keeping in touch with your passions!
