About Dhaka — Digital City Discovery Platform
About this Project
A modern city discovery and digital directory platform for Dhaka, powered by AI.
Dhaka is one of the busiest megacities in the world, yet finding reliable information about hospitals, restaurants, transport, and local services remains surprisingly difficult. About Dhaka was built to solve this — a single digital ecosystem that brings scattered city information into one searchable, AI-powered platform.
This isn't just a directory. It's a step toward making Dhaka smarter, more connected, and more digital. Residents and visitors of Dhaka often struggle with: Finding trustworthy medical care and specialists nearby Navigating bus routes without centralized transit info Discovering local restaurants, places, and services Getting quick answers without digging through scattered sources I built a Next.js-based city platform that centralizes local information and layers an AI assistant on top for natural language search — so instead of browsing five different pages, a user can simply ask: "Which cardiologist is near Dhanmondi?" ...and get a relevant, contextual answer instantly. Browse hospitals, doctors, restaurants, places, and vet clinics Category and area-based filtering Local blog and city stories Bus route and nearest stop lookup Route-aware navigation assistance for commuters Natural language queries for hospitals, restaurants, places & transport Smart intent detection built with Groq/OpenAI integration Context-aware, fast local recommendations Personalized component suggestions based on user needs and budget Full CRUD management for hospitals, doctors, restaurants, shops, blogs, and bus data Secure admin authentication flow The platform combines four major layers into one cohesive system: Public-facing city portal — for general discovery and browsing Data-heavy service directory — structured listings across multiple categories AI assistant layer — natural language interface over the same dataset Admin dashboard — for publishing and managing all city data Real-time bus/transit data integration User-generated reviews and ratings Map-based navigation Deeper personalization in AI recommendation About Dhaka reflects my interest in building practical, locally-relevant products — combining modern web architecture with AI to solve a real, everyday problem for an entire city.The Problem
