CivicSync

An AI-powered municipal grievance redressal and anti-corruption platform that bridges the gap between citizens and government authorities.

🚀 Features

For Citizens

• AI Voice Complaints: Speak your complaint naturally. Our AI automatically transcribes your voice (via Sarvam AI) and categorizes the department, severity, and location (via Groq LLM).
• Live Location Mapping: Drop a pin exactly where the issue is using Mapbox integration.
• Anonymous Whistleblowing: Securely report corruption with cryptographic tracking IDs to follow up without revealing your identity.
• Citizen Dashboard: Track the live status of all your submitted complaints.

For Government Officers

• City Heatmaps: Visualize complaint hotspots across the city to allocate resources effectively.
• AI Implementation Plans: Generate step-by-step action plans, required materials, and budget estimates for resolving complex civic issues instantly.
• Automated Routing: Tickets are automatically assigned to the correct municipal department (Water, PWD, Health, etc.) based on AI classification.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 19, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Mapbox GL JS
• Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB Atlas (Mongoose)
• AI Integration: Sarvam AI (Speech-to-Text), Groq (Llama 3 for text classification)
