About the project
Problem:
Citizens often struggle to discover government welfare schemes and scholarships relevant to them. Information is scattered across multiple government portals, eligibility requirements are difficult to understand, and application procedures involve complex documentation and repeated follow-ups. This makes it difficult for eligible beneficiaries to access the benefits available to them.
Solution:
PlacePilot AI — Scheme Saathi is an agentic AI-powered government welfare scheme assistant that simplifies the entire journey, from discovering schemes to preparing applications and tracking their progress.
How It Works:
1. Scheme Discovery: Helps citizens explore relevant Central and State Government schemes, scholarships and welfare benefits through verified government sources.
2. Eligibility Assessment: Uses a deterministic rules engine to evaluate citizen information against scheme eligibility requirements and explain the results.
3. Document Readiness: Generates personalized document checklists and identifies missing requirements.
4. Application Preparation: Helps prefill, validate and prepare application forms.
5. AI Assistant: Supports natural-language conversations in English, Hindi and Marathi, with voice interaction for citizens.
6. Application Tracking: Helps citizens organize application progress, reminders and follow-ups.
7. Human Approval: Requires explicit citizen confirmation before consequential application submission.
Admin Workspace:
Administrators can manage schemes, scholarships, eligibility rules, required documents, official source links and publication status. Published updates are reflected in the Citizen Workspace through a shared database.
Impact:
PlacePilot AI aims to make government welfare benefits easier to discover and access, reduce confusion around eligibility and documentation, simplify application preparation, and improve transparency.
Core Principle:
Rules Decide. AI Assists. Humans Approve.
