Daniil Busygin, a law student at RUDN University, developed the app Stressless, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze and help resolve conflicts in personal relationships. The project, which has been selected for the RUDN.VC accelerator, aims to serve as a bridge between self-help and professional psychological support.
"Relationship conflicts are one of the main causes of stress and divorce, especially among young couples who lack constructive dialogue skills. Seeking help from a psychologist is often delayed due to cost, stigma, or a lack of understanding of where to start. Meanwhile, psychologists waste precious session time on initial diagnosis, as clients can't always clearly articulate the essence of the problem," says Daniil Busygin.
The first step towards dialogue
Stressless offers an innovative approach. The app analyzes user-uploaded messages and audio recordings (with the consent of all parties) to:
Identify emotional triggers and communication styles; determine the type of conflict and create a "psychological map" of the relationship; offer personalized recommendations for resolution; and, if necessary, assess the dynamics and refer the user to a live specialist from among the platform's partners, providing them with a structured interaction history for rapid diagnosis.
"Stressless isn't just an app. It's a tool that helps people stay connected during conflict. Modern relationships require new solutions—and technology can become an ally, not a substitute, for human understanding," says Daniil Busygin.
Plans for the future
In its initial phase, the project focuses on helping couples and spouses. Its functionality could eventually be expanded to address family, adolescent, and even workplace conflicts, opening up opportunities for developing B2B HR solutions. The project's creator has already conducted expert interviews with psychologists and potential users and developed a product roadmap. The RUDN University accelerator played a key role in the development of the idea.
"The accelerator helped us systematize our hypotheses and identify a target audience, provided access to mentors in psychology and technology, supported us in building an ethical model for working with sensitive data, and facilitated the development of a sustainable business logic and understanding of monetization paths," says Daniil Busygin.
As part of the acceleration program, Daniil must present a working prototype of the application (MVP), hypothesis testing results, a financial model, a motivation strategy, and a plan for further project development within three months.
Stressless is a shining example of how interdisciplinary knowledge (law, psychology, and AI) at RUDN University is being transformed into socially significant technological solutions designed to improve quality of life and preserve what's most valuable—human relationships.
