Form Sahayak
A mobile companion that helps Bangladeshi citizens parse and complete dense Bengali government forms — auto-fills from their national ID, explains every field in colloquial Bangla, and warns when an entry looks ambiguous or wrong.
Bangladeshi citizens applying for government, banking, or land-record services at home or at union digital centers
- Photo-scan of the form with layout-aware Bangla OCR that boxes each field and offers a 'what does this ask?' tooltip in conversational Bangla
- Personal Data Vault that pulls verified info from NID, birth certificate, and land records so fields auto-fill
- Error-spotter that flags improbable entries (e.g., a 2-bigha claim from someone with 0 bigha in land records) before submission
- Service-center handoff that emails a clean, prefilled PDF to a chosen union digital center or NGO helper
The BaFCo paper shows the latest multimodal LLMs still misread Bangla forms on real government paperwork; with ~230M Bangla speakers and rapid digitization of citizen services, no purpose-built consumer tool exists yet.
a2i reports 5,865+ Digital Centers reaching ~6.5M citizens/month with 150+ services, and ~230M Bangla speakers face dense paperwork — a large, recurring form-filling need.a2i Digital Government for Bangladesh - Data - LittleSis ↗Transforming Bangladesh through a2i-Led Partnerships (2009-2023) ↗
No consumer-facing Bangla form-filling companion exists; nearest is the planned general-purpose 'Saathi' AI assistant and the official 'kagoj.ai' (for government use) — purpose-built citizen form help is unoccupied.Government plans to launch 'Saathi', a Bangladeshi version of Siri ↗Government introduces Bangla-based AI platform and new font for official use ↗
Bangladesh is a price-sensitive, low-ARPU market where direct consumer subscription is hard; the most realistic path is B2B/digital-center licensing, but no public pricing or WTP benchmarks for this specific niche were found.A2i marks 2025 expanding citizen-friendly digital services ↗
Bangladesh's citizen-services digitization (a2i, myGov portal, NID-based eKYC) is a structural, multi-year government priority, giving the use case long durability even as form templates evolve.myGov - মাইগভ | এক ঠিকানায় সরকারি সেবা ↗a2i marks a year of breakthroughs in citizen-centric public service ↗
Buildable but non-trivial: the BaFCo benchmark shows current multimodal LLMs still misread real Bangla government forms, so robust Bangla OCR, NER on NID data, and colloquial explanation layers are required engineering work.Government plans to launch 'Saathi', a Bangladeshi version of Siri ↗
