EngageGov is an AI-driven citizen engagement app built using xAI's Grok models (grok-beta, grok-vision-beta), Python, OpenAI, and Streamlit, designed to enhance government efficiency and cut costs. The app allows citizens to report issues such as damaged infrastructure (e.g., bad roads or leaking pipes) and make inquiries about government services (e.g., how to apply for healthcare benefits or access education support) through text or photo submissions. By using sentiment analysis and Grok's AI capabilities, EngageGov analyzes each submission, providing tailored responses and routing issues to the appropriate government agency (e.g., Health, Transport, Infrastructure) via email or SMS for quick action. This reduces unnecessary manual work, making the process more streamlined and reducing administrative costs. For example, a citizen reporting a pothole can easily submit a photo, and the AI will analyze the urgency and forward the report to the Ministry of Transport for immediate attention. Similarly, when someone inquires about available government healthcare programs, Grok's AI will instantly suggest the necessary steps to subscribe, cutting down on the need for in-person inquiries. This app can help governments cut costs by reducing manual handling of complaints, minimizing unnecessary administrative resources, and ensuring efficient service delivery. By automating routine tasks and providing self-service capabilities, EngageGov optimizes government spending, ensuring resources are allocated more effectively while increasing accountability and transparency.
