5 min readApr 4, 2020

We are glad to introduce the Open Beta HackenAI Application. Now everyone is able to download and try the Application and its main functionality. During our Closed Beta that lasted over 3 weeks our tech team, as well as 100 closed Beta testers, have worked hard to add functionality, fix the most critical bugs and improve the performance of the application. Now we are ready to introduce the HackenAI Beta to the global community. This version includes the following modules:

CyberBootCamp
DarkNet monitoring (we will be releasing a detailed article on how crucial this module is to everyone)
Password manager
Digital Assets Wallet

This Beta version is still running on the VeChainThor TestNet, some functions like the token swap or transferring tokens are not available yet. These features will be released in future updates of HackenAI.

Closed Beta Summary

More than 100 Beta testers have worked for more than 3 weeks to find bugs and gave their recommendation on how to improve the App. Now we want to share with you some insights we gained during this period

To our surprise, only 40% of our beta testers use any of the password management applications. This in itself is a very promising sign as we feel this instantly creates a market for the HackenAI app on this feature alone. A password manager is a very important tool to keep your personal accounts data safe.

70% of testers who do currently use a password manager indicated that they would like to switch their current password manager to HackenAI when the official App is released. This is a huge success for our team and product. We are very grateful for this trust.

95% of Beta testers were amazed by HackenAI design and UX/UI and indicated that in the questionnaire. They indicated that they like the design of the HackenAI App and that the UX/UI of the App is intuitive and user-friendly. We are very proud of this and are happy to hear this feedback.

When we asked how difficult it was to install the App almost 70% of the testers indicated that it was intuitive. With the Application now publicly available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, the barrier to downloading and installing HackenAI is even lower.

Moreover, Beta testers liked the idea of collectibles and achievements inside the App. with 84% of testers indicated this in the questionnaire. Definitely, gamification plays a huge role in the motivation of users to care more about their personal cybersecurity. All our team will keep working on improving the gamification elements and will create many new achievement and reward systems.

Here is what our Beta testers think about the HackenAI App:

I like that it goes through the security topic step by step, therefore it’s convenient for beginners.
How it teaches you to protect yourself from being vulnerable insecurity where we take for granted
I like to see my password strength and due to that created a better one. Not many more options in the closed beta right now. The education section is also interesting mostly for people who are not so aware about their own security. Looking forward to more features enabled.
The character is fun, playful and dosed properly for me. I imagine him perfect for popup notifications in the desktop version.
The general look and feel of the UI is great. I almost never found myself looking for buttons or next actions.
The amount has to offer, I thought the boot camp would be annoying, but it was actually good and showed a lot about security and how much you know, it gave me confidence in your product. The dark Web monitoring is brilliant. Will you be adding in the wallet check function you have on your website?
Test your memory on the seed phrase is genius, the person that thought of that is brilliant.

We are grateful to our testers for their valuable feedback and everyone who submitted their feedback will get some reward from HackenAI.

Most of our testers were overall satisfied with the App and glad of that. 68% of testers indicated that they would purchase this app for use on their phones when the full version is available and 90% indicated that they will recommend the App to their family and friends! We appreciate it very much!
