## From photo to resolved report

Citizen view, AI analysis, and case handling: the platform in seven screens.

### Take a photo, AI does the rest

Citizens upload a photo. The AI identifies the category, drafts a description, and pre-fills attributes in real time. Everything stays reviewable before sending.

### Reports on an interactive map

Reports come in with photo and location, cluster automatically, and color-code by category. Residents instantly see what has already been reported nearby.

### AI writes the report for you

From the photo, the system generates a detailed description, extracts category attributes, and scores the hazard level. Everything stays editable.

### AI-powered processing pipeline

Reports are indexed for duplicates, classified for hazard level, scored for sentiment, and auto-filled with category-specific attributes. All runs as a background batch.
