Description
A community-driven voice platform which acts as the city's nervous system (hence the name GemSynap) where residents propose, discuss, and vote on local transformation ideas, which are then evaluated using AI against urban policy, environmental impact, and wellbeing metrics to support data-informed civic decision-making. It allows the use of GenAI to assess the feasibility of proposed ideas. Evaluate the costs associated with the execution of ideas. Allows the policy viability of the ideas. It also allows to gamify the surveying, as well as where IoT data exists, it allows Nano Banana-based image generation to transform the data into visual stories. In terms of initiatives, it uses GenAI to merge similar initiatives. It allows sentiment analysis as well.
