Unlock Student Potential with AI: Learning Planet Institute used code.store to build an AI-powered chatbot for Ikigai exploration. Students now have a flexible, 24/7 tool to discover their life purpose.

Opportunity

The Learning Planet Institute (LPI) aimed to develop a mobile app for students to explore their core values, life purpose, and strengths through guided self-reflection and peer discussions. Because LPI is a nonprofit organization with a limited budget, creating a highly interactive app with numerous features was not feasible.

Solution

We were eager to create a useful application, so we proposed an innovative solution: building a Discord chatbot integrated with the LLM (Open AI ChatGPT) API. This approach would eliminate the need for front-end development, significantly streamline distribution, and effectively reach our target audience, which consists of heavy users of Discord.

code.store's expertise with low-code tools and AI made all the difference. They transformed LPI's complex Ikigai program into a user-friendly, AI-powered chatbot. The result? Increased student engagement and a scalable solution. We're impressed!

Building Ikigai with Cergy University, the first AI-powered Discord bot to help 40.000 students find purpose in life

We collaborated with the Learning Planet Institute to create a platform aimed at helping individuals discover their values, strengths, and life purpose. Cergy Paris University was the first live user, piloting Ikigai with 500 students in September 2023. Now, with a successful beta phase, the objective is to integrate Ikigai into Cergy University's curriculum to engage its 40,000 students in meaningful self-reflection and dialogue.

Why did we built the ChatGPT powered Discord bot?

The primary goal is to seamlessly integrate Ikigai into Cergy University's infrastructure, leveraging the successful pilot experience. This integration will empower students to align their personal aspirations with societal needs.
