🌟 Inspiration
Millions of citizens struggle daily with governance — complaints vanish without updates, government schemes feel hidden behind complexity, and small businesses fear compliance penalties due to confusing legal jargon. We wanted to build something simple yet impactful that puts clarity and empowerment in the hands of citizens.
🤖 What it does
CitizenAssist AI is a one-stop AI-powered web app that:
Grievance Bot – Summarizes complaints, routes them to the right department, and predicts resolution timelines.
Scheme Eligibility Advisor – Matches citizen details with government schemes and shows eligibility + how to apply.
Legal & Compliance Aid – Converts complex GST/rules into easy checklists in local languages.
👉 All-in-one: Complaints + Schemes + Compliance → Citizen empowerment.
🛠️ How we built it
Frontend: HTML/CSS/JS for a simple, user-friendly demo.
Backend: FastAPI in Python to handle requests.
AI Layer: Google Gemini API for summarization, translation, reasoning.
Database: Lightweight JSON files for schemes and complaints simulation.
UI Demo: Input → AI Processing → Output Cards.
