Directory
Useful for locating a known service, but it leaves priority and sequence to the user.

A clearer next step in a new country. I designed a personal action plan that helps newcomers choose a task, compare options and prepare for a visit.

Independent concept prototype, not a live service
Problem
Essential steps are scattered across systems.
A newcomer may need to deal with ministries, banks, health funds and appointments in parallel. Each service can explain itself, but the person still has to work out the order, dependencies and preparation.
I framed the design problem as: how can a mobile guide make the next useful step visible while leaving the final choice with the person?
Chosen direction
I made the plan the product backbone.
A directory helps when someone already knows what to find. Chat helps with a specific question. Neither makes a longer sequence or its progress visible by default.
Working prototype
Try the complete student path.
Start with the personal plan, compare fictional bank offers, prepare for a visit and make a sample booking.

UX and interface
I used one repeatable flow: orient, compare, prepare.
I narrowed the concept to a single bank-opening task so the prototype could show continuity rather than a collection of disconnected screens. Select a numbered marker to highlight the interface choice described below it.
1 Find a next step
Make the priority explainable.
I brought one task forward with a reason, while keeping “Choose another task” visible.
- The recommendation and its explanation share one card; the banking task also stays in My Focus.
- The guide proposes an order without presenting that order as the only path.
2 Compare the options
Show the trade-off beside the score.
I placed fees, language support and a drawback together instead of asking the user to trust “best match”.
- Benefits and an international-transfer fee drawback appear on the same fictional offer card.
- A score becomes a starting point for comparison, rather than an unexplained answer.
3 Prepare for the visit
Carry the choice into preparation.
I turned the selected option into a checklist and concrete questions for the visit.
- A checkable document list sits above questions about fees, benefits and account requirements.
- The flow ends with an action the person can use outside the app.
Evidence and limits
The interface demonstrates continuity, not market validation.
What I can show
The selected bank carries through comparison, preparation, sample booking, plan and profile. I also checked keyboard operation, saved state and the demo retry path.
What remains unproven
The concept has not been tested with newcomers. Its priorities, requirements and comparison logic need current official sources and user validation before real use.
Takeaway
Guidance became clearer when I made its logic visible.
My strongest decision was to treat the action plan as the interface, not as a result hidden behind chat. The next task, the reason for it and the preparation all stay inspectable.
If I continued the concept, I would first test whether newcomers understand and trust that priority. That evidence would decide whether to refine the plan model before expanding to more services.
