AI-POWERED CIVIC ISSUE REPORTING APP
PROPOSED SOLUTION
• Report civic problems using photo, text or voice
• Automatic GPS location and issue categorization
• AI-based severity and duplicate detection
• Smart routing to the responsible department
INNOVATION & UNIQUENESS
• Multilingual and voice-first reporting
• AI-assisted prioritization and triage
• Duplicate complaint clustering
• Transparent status tracking and public insights
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Flutter / React Native • FastAPI / Node.js • Python AI/ML • PostgreSQL/PostGIS • Maps API • Cloud
Citizen Report AI Analysis Geo + Category Priority Dept. Routing Resolution
• Input: text, image and speech-to-text
• AI: NLP + computer vision for category, severity and duplicate detection
• Data: geotagged complaints with status, SLA and audit trail
• Admin: department dashboard for assignment, escalation and closure verification
FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY
FEASIBILITY CHALLENGES / RISKS MITIGATION
• Existing mobile + cloud + AI stack
• Begin with limited civic categories
• Use permitted open geospatial data
• Pilot in one municipality
• Incorrect AI classification
• Spam / malicious reports
• Privacy-sensitive locations
• Department response delays
• Human review for uncertainty
• Moderation + rate limits
• Data minimization + access control
• SLA escalation + analytics
