BaanMitra
Inspiration
BaanMitra is a voice-first AI agent layer that closes the last mile between flood forecasts and the villagers who must act on them. It takes official warnings from FLEWS, ASDMA, CWC, IMD and Open-Meteo and turns them into personal phone calls in Assamese, Bodo, Bengali or Hindi, with no app needed
What it does
The system asks about elderly family members, disabled residents, livestock and mobility, and tailors the instruction to each household. If nobody answers, it retries with backoff and then escalates to the gaon bura or the DDMA.
How we built it
Villagers can reply by WhatsApp voice note, which is transcribed into a structured, prioritised relief ticket on a dashboard, and the system keeps a persistent memory of each household across the season. Two agents (alert and triage) run in Agent37 sandboxes on a schedule, with ElevenLabs for speech, Twilio for IVR and WhatsApp, Nodus for compute and Render for deployment. Your brief doesn't name the programming languages, so I'd describe it as Python for the agents, backend and voice and call logic, and JavaScript or TypeScript for the relief dashboard. Please swap in whatever you actually use.
