Building NagarDrishti: A Live AI Agent for Road Safety in India

This content was created for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge hackathon. #GeminiLiveAgentChallenge The Problem: Monsoon Potholes Kill Pune, India — 7 million people, 2,273 kilometers of roads. During monsoon season, potholes and waterlogging cause hundreds of accidents every year.
