🌱 Say hello to Citree!
Applying for social benefits in Germany can feel like navigating in the dark. You fill out a long application, gather a stack of documents, send it off - and then… silence. “Did I get everything right? Is something missing? What happens now?” That uncertainty drives anxious calls, letters, and office visits - exhausting for citizens and overloaded support staff alike.
At Digital Product School, we're tackling this head-on. Citree is a mobile-first web app that helps people apply with confidence - starting with Bürgergeld as our first step. It tells you exactly which documents you need for your situation, how and where to get them, and confirms you're on track before you submit. Clear, plain-language guidance, multilingual from day one. 📱✅
Our approach: talk to real people, build and test fast, and let evidence - not assumptions - shape the product. 🚀
Behind Citree is a small, focused team:
⭐ Martin Brzozowy - Product Manager
⭐ Peng-Ju (Katy) Liu - Interaction Designer
⭐ Vibhor Sharma - Software Engineer
More to come in the next few weeks - stay tuned! 🌳
