CivicAI

Problem Statement Every day, citizens encounter civic issues such as potholes, overflowing garbage, water leakage, broken streetlights, and damaged roads. Although many cities provide complaint portals, the process remains largely manual. Complaints are often routed to the wrong department, duplicate reports increase workload, prioritization is inconsistent, and citizens receive limited visibility into complaint progress. This results in delayed resolutions, inefficient resource allocation, and reduced public trust.

Our Solution CivicAI is an AI-powered civic complaint management platform that automates the complete complaint lifecycle using multiple AI capabilities. Instead of acting as a simple complaint portal, CivicAI behaves like an intelligent civic assistant. Citizens can report issues using images, voice recordings, or text, while AI analyzes the complaint, determines the responsible department, prioritizes urgency, generates structured summaries, and assists government officers in making faster decisions. The platform improves transparency by allowing citizens to track complaint status from submission to final resolution.

AI Agent Workflow Our solution follows a multi-stage AI workflow:

Citizen uploads an image, voice recording, or text description. Computer Vision analyzes the uploaded image. Speech AI converts voice into text. Large Language Models understand complaint context. AI identifies the civic issue. Department Routing Agent predicts the responsible department. Priority Agent assigns urgency. Duplicate Detection Agent identifies repeated complaints. AI generates structured summaries and recommendations. Officers receive AI-assisted complaints through the dashboard. Citizens track progress in real time. This workflow significantly reduces manual effort while improving routing accuracy and response time.
