### Your Full Name

Abhiram Pulijala

### App Name

Civic AI Action Hub

### One-Sentence Description

Civic AI Action Hub makes it easy for fellow students to find ways to do good locally, and makes it easy for anyone to report issues in their communities and find ways to help.

### About You

I’m a senior at John P. Stevens High School in Edison, NJ. I enjoy building things, especially projects that combine coding with real-world applications like robotics or engineering. I first got into coding while experimenting with simple game development, and I liked how I could turn ideas into something interactive and functional. Since then, I’ve been working on improving my skills and using them in more meaningful projects.

### About Your App

Civic AI Action Hub is a web app that lets users report local issues like trash, broken sidewalks, or streetlights by uploading images, adding details, and selecting a location. It uses AI to categorize and prioritize problems, shows them on a map, and generates action-based projects like cleanups.

It’s for students, residents, nonprofits, and city officials who want to improve their communities.

It solves the problem of slow and unorganized reporting by making it easier to report, track, and act on issues.

Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript/JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, MongoDB, and the OpenAI API.
