prabhav(translates ~ "impact") is a non-profit effort dedicated to leveraging technologies including like AI and more to change things in society for the better.
our first initiative is aimed to serve under-privileged masses in india with easy & accessible information about govt. schemes in a convenient way using an AI whatsapp chatbot (given its huge existing reach); information though openly available, is largely inaccessible to most rural & under-privileged citizens due to lack of working knowledge & ease of ascess.
we're trying to do our bit. users can chat in their own langauage and get info about all the schemes they can avail benefits from.
we had this idea since a year but left it brewing in the back of our minds. we're now focusing our efforts on building it.
Tasks:
- scrape Myschemes (started, WIP)
- implement whatsapp chatbot
- secure required accounts/access/api etc
- publish a v0 bot to test internally (use 3rd party services but goal is to have most opensource with least external dependencies)
- publish v1 mvp bot
- implement voice input
- research on tts & stt models
