Hybrid Token-Efficient Routing AgentUnicorn Track

**RescueFlow AI** is an AI-powered surplus food rescue platform that helps reduce food waste by intelligently connecting food donors with nearby NGOs and shelters. Every day, restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, cafeterias, and event venues discard edible food while many people struggle with food insecurity. RescueFlow AI transforms this manual process into an intelligent, AI-driven workflow. Instead of acting as a simple donation platform, RescueFlow AI uses multiple AI agents to automate food rescue. Donors describe their available food in natural language, and the AI extracts key details such as food type, quantity, preparation time, pickup deadline, and estimated meals. A Food Safety Agent performs an AI-assisted risk assessment and calculates an urgency score. A Matching Agent recommends the most suitable NGO based on food type, demand, capacity, distance, and storage requirements. A Volunteer Routing Agent generates pickup instructions, while an Impact Agent tracks rescued meals, food saved, and completed deliveries. RescueFlow AI also implements a **token-efficient AI routing strategy**. Simple tasks are handled with lightweight logic or smaller AI models, while complex reasoning is routed to larger models only when necessary. This improves response time, reduces AI costs, and demonstrates efficient resource utilization. Built with **Next.js, FastAPI, Supabase, Fireworks AI, and AMD Developer Cloud**, RescueFlow AI demonstrates how AI agents can solve real-world sustainability challenges. The platform supports **SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships)** by helping ensure that surplus edible food reaches people in need instead of becoming waste.
