Inspiration

Air quality directly affects public health, especially for people with respiratory conditions. We wanted to build an AI-powered platform that makes air quality information simple, visual, and actionable for everyday users in Azerbaijan.

What it does

Azerbaijan Air Quality Guardian is an AI-powered platform that monitors and explains air quality data. Users can:

  • View AQI levels on an interactive district map
  • Analyze sky photos using Gemini Vision to estimate AQI
  • See a 7-day AQI trend forecast
  • Receive AQI alerts and notifications
  • Listen to AQI information using voice playback
  • Compare air quality between two districts
  • Ask health-related questions using an AI advisor

How we built it

We built the project using modern web technologies and Google Gemini models.

  • Frontend: React / modern web UI
  • AI: Gemini Vision + Gemini text models
  • Data: real-time AQI APIs combined with fallback mock data
  • Visualization: interactive maps and trend charts
  • Deployment: web-based demo for easy access

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges was combining real-time AQI data with AI interpretation while keeping the experience fast and easy to understand. We also worked on making the interface simple enough for non-technical users.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Seamless integration of Gemini Vision for sky photo AQI estimation
  • Health-focused AI assistant for user guidance
  • Interactive, clean dashboard optimized for quick understanding
  • Voice-based AQI playback for accessibility

What we learned

We learned how to combine multimodal AI with real-world environmental data, and how important UX clarity is when presenting health-related information.

What's next for Baku Air Guardian - Gemini Vision AQI Analyzer

Next steps include expanding coverage to all regions of Azerbaijan, improving prediction accuracy, adding personalized health recommendations, and integrating real-time push notifications.
