BenefitsFlow is a UC Berkeley Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) capstone project developed in Fall 2025. Our team built a data-driven solution to simplify California's complex public benefits landscape, making it easier for people experiencing job loss to find the help they need.
Our Mission
Through an AI-powered conversational chatbot, we connect Californians with accurate, personalized benefits information. Our platform provides step-by-step guidance, downloadable application checklists, and calendar integration for renewal deadlines—helping users navigate programs like unemployment insurance, CalFresh, Medi-Cal, and housing assistance.
