CivicLens AI

An AI-powered platform that helps citizens report, classify, and track civic issues from detection to resolution.

Problem

Citizens frequently face civic problems such as potholes, garbage accumulation, broken streetlights, and damaged public infrastructure. Existing reporting systems can be slow and confusing, as citizens may not know the correct department to contact, complaints may be incorrectly categorized, and there is often limited transparency about resolution progress. CivicLens AI helps citizens report issues easily while enabling smarter classification, prioritization, and tracking.

Solution

CivicLens AI is an AI-powered civic issue reporting and tracking platform. Citizens upload a photo and location of a civic problem, and AI analyzes the image to identify and classify the issue, suggest its priority level, and recommend the responsible department. The platform then creates a trackable complaint and provides real-time status updates from reporting to resolution. We plan to use Gemini for image analysis and intelligent issue classification, along with Next.js for the frontend and Node.js for backend APIs
