Anti-Algorithm Designathon App

Project Overview

In this designathon we were tasked with building a product that embraces anti-algorithm in today's society. We had 2 hours to brainstorm and design a product that serves this purpose.

Problem Statement

Undo control over lyfe!

In a world dominated by personalization algorithms, our choices—and even our joy—are increasingly filtered and predicted. This control stifles spontaneity and limits the possibility of unexpected, meaningful moments. How might we create experiences that reject algorithmic influence and instead embrace randomness, human spontaneity, and the thrill of the unknown?

Personas and Scenarios

Solution

You sign up with no plan.

Just share your basic preferences, like dietary needs and hard no’s. That’s it

We design your day, not an algorithm.

 A rotating crew of humans (not bots) craft a one-of-a-kind experience just for you.

You show up with no clue.

 No previews, no ratings, no itinerary. Just trust the journey and go with the flow.

You come back surprised (and kinda proud).

 Maybe you danced. Maybe you pet a goat. Who knows? You lived a day you’d never have planned yourself.
