Inspiration
Unexpected emergencies such as lost wallets, stolen phones, missed trains, travel disruptions, and cyber fraud often leave people confused and unsure of what to do next. While information is available online, there is no single platform that guides users through recovery in a structured and actionable way. We built Crisis Assist to help people stay calm, take the right actions, and recover faster during stressful situations.
What it does
Crisis Assist is an AI-powered Emergency Operating System that helps users respond to real-life crises. Users can select or describe situations such as lost wallets, cyber scams, missed transportation, or stolen documents. The platform generates personalized recovery plans, actionable checklists, AI-generated FIR drafts, emergency guidance, and nearby support resources to help users recover efficiently.

- Frontend: Modern responsive web application
- AI Layer: Google Gemini API for intelligent guidance and document generation

- Features: Crisis detection, recovery workflows, FIR draft generation, travel assistance, and cyber fraud support
Challenges we ran into
- Designing workflows that remain useful under stressful situations
