Artificial Intelligence
AI-Powered Problem Understanding
JharUdyam uses AI to analyze the images and information a citizen submits — turning a quick photo into a clear, structured, routable report.
AI assists — it does not decide. The government remains responsible for reviewing every submitted problem and choosing whether it should be released for collaboration.
What the AI helps with
- Identify the visible problem
- Generate a concise problem description
- Categorize the challenge
- Prioritize the challenge
- Detect duplicate or similar reports
- Determine the appropriate government department
