THE PROBLEM IN ONE IMAGE:
[Show a confusing government form OR a sad face with question marks]
500M Indians Eligible
↓
60M Apply
↓
36M Get Approved (First Time)
↓
264M Give Up
Why? → COMPLEXITY

HACKNOVA 5.0
Upload Documents → AI Understands → Forms Auto-Fill
▼ ▼ ▼
PDF Extracts Data 94% Accuracy
Photo Learns Schemes First Time
Scan Maps to Forms Approved
- Speaker Note: "We built a bridge using three AI techniques..."
STEP 1: DOCUMENT EXTRACTION
User uploads: ID, Certificate, Financial Docs
Our AI reads:
→ Text (Gemini AI)
→ Handwriting (OCR)
→ Structured Data (Pattern Recognition)
→ Missing Information (Gap Detection)
- Visual: Show sample documents → extracted data side-by-side
STEP 2: SCHEME DISCOVERY
AI Crawler checks 50,000+ government schemes
Returns:
✓ Schemes person is eligible for
✗ Documents needed
? Workarounds for missing docs
- Visual: Screenshot of scheme discovery UI
STEP 3: INTELLIGENT FORM MAPPING
AI reads government form:
- Identifies field types
- Understands required vs optional
- Maps your data to right fields
- Confidence scoring (trust levels)
STEP 4: AUTO-FILL & GUIDANCE
→ Fills 95% of form automatically
→ For remaining 5%: step-by-step guide
→ User verifies each field
→ Confidence > 99% before submission
