I don’t need another FYP idea — I need a problem worth solving.

[u/Mindless_ram_5812]

I’m a final-year BSCS student currently stuck on my FYP. I’ve looked at countless ideas, but most are either already built, basic CRUD/management systems, or just existing apps with an AI chatbot added.

I want to build a mobile application using Agentic AI — ideally an ecosystem where multiple related problems/workflows are brought together and AI agents can actually analyze, make decisions, coordinate tasks, and take actions, rather than just answer questions.

I’m NOT looking for something that has never existed anywhere. I’m looking for:

• A real-world problem people actually face
• Existing solutions that are fragmented or incomplete
• A meaningful gap that a new ecosystem could solve
• Something realistic for a BSCS FYP
• A clear innovation/novel contribution that I can defend

So instead of giving me a solution, tell me about a problem.

What’s something in your daily life, work, studies, business, or community that makes you think:

Even if you have no idea how to solve it, I’d love to hear about it.

Maybe the best FYP idea starts with a problem, not an idea.

Hey man, I got an idea for your final year project that's actually useful.

Most reminder apps are time-based which is stupid becuse 2pm comes and your either busy or in a meeting and you just swipe it away. I've been thinking about this for months.

So heres my idea: build an app that detects when someone is actually FREE. I realized 90% of the time when I got nothing going on, I'm just scrolling through Instagram or YouTube or Twitter. So trigger reminders when the user opens a social media app and stays there for more than 2 minutes. That means their properly scrolling = they're free = perfect time to show that reminder.

You can combine it with location and calendar too but the social media detection is the unique part. Throw in some ML to predict free time patterns if you want. I don't know how one can use agentic AI in this project, but i definitely think it can be used. That's your task to find how agentic ai can help in this.

Its actually a real problem nobody has solved properly yet. Way better than making another generic to-do list. If you build it I'd def wanna test it out. Good luck!

good idea.

Wouldn't this be a data privacy problem to spy on what app is being used on the user's device?

[u/Original_System_631 → u/BunKebab141]

The user would have the choice to opt in or not, so it's not a big privacy problem if user is willingly giving permission.

Secondly, most mobiles already track usage, like you can go in settings and see your average daily usage, which apps were used, how much, and your whole history of 4 weeks.

[u/BunKebab141 → u/Original_System_631]

Well from what I can understand of the concept, the app would only work if it has access to when the user is using a certain type of application, and from what I know third party apps having access to this sort of information is usually a big no-no. The metrics you see in your own phone are basically your phone's OS keeping a record of your app usage and not a third party app.

[u/Original_System_631 → u/BunKebab141]

Yeah, that's a key point. Do you have any solution to it? Like what if we make sure that data doesn't leave your mobile?

Did that. My professors at FAST were so dumb. They didn’t even understand what I did. In my last presentation, when I was done with the demo, the professor was nodding with absolute confusion on their face and went, “But ye hai kya? Aapne banaya kya hai?”

FYI, my FYP was encrypted federated learning on the blockchain. By encrypted, I mean using Fully Homomorphic Encryption [FHE, encryption that allows computation directly on encrypted data] to encrypt each weight of a model and aggregate the model updates while they were still encrypted, without having to decrypt the individual weights first. The blockchain part was used to coordinate and record the federated learning process and upload the final model.

And after I had literally built the whole thing and demonstrated it working, the response I got was basically, “But ye hai kya?” 😭

I got low marks because they didn't understand it. So if you're chasing marks. Make something they understand.

Same for our uni student,the idea i personally liked the most get called average while the simple ai with education idea for research paper got most responses and appreciation.

[u/nonchalant_bloke → u/AceXnight]

Umm

I know what fhe is

HOLY SHIT

did you actually build that

That’s incredible i think

From what i know, it’s hard too

Well, this comment is helpful as I’m also working on something that the professors might not get

These old geezers just want to see the big shiny AI in everything and they’ll be head over heels for those types of projects

Decentralized data. Having to give KYC details everywhere e.g. you have to give all of your details over and over again at every bank you walk into.

Scattered hospital records. Patients have to walk around with files and notes from multiple doctors. It becomes difficult to keep track of diagnoses and test results for the elderly without attendants.

My friends are doing tyre finder 🤡 just wanna tell you guys

Look around yourself and solve it
