Greenify is a smart, AI-driven web platform that redefines how waste is identified, categorized, and collected. Powered by Gemini LLM, geospatial mapping, and real-time task automation, Greenify empowers citizens and municipalities to manage waste sustainably.
♻️ AI-Based Waste Classification via image uploads using Gemini LLM
📍 Live Location Tracking and route management using Google Maps API
🧠 Expert Chatbot Integration for sustainability tips & verification
🏆 Gamification System to promote eco-conscious habits
🗂️ Role-based Dashboards for Users and Collectors with automated backend AI processing
🔐 User Authentication via Clerk for secure access and session management
🗑️ Waste Tracking: Track real-time waste collection, type, quantity, and location using Google Maps API; Users can input waste generated manually alongside real-time updates from collectors.
🔍 AI Waste Verification: Verify waste categorization by comparing uploaded images with AI-powered classification using Gemini LLM; ensures the accuracy of waste sorting and categorization.
