Waru—AI Voice Assistant for
Sustainable City Planning

Concept / Voice Experience / 2024

This is a conceptual side project exploring how AI-powered voice interfaces could enhance urban sustainability planning.
Through experimentation with Voiceflow and conversational design, I explored how a voice-based AI assistant could
make complex urban data more accessible and decision-making more intuitive.

Problem Statement
Cities face increasing challenges in reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and expanding green spaces.
Urban planners need clear, data-backed solutions to make informed decisions, but sustainability planning is complex
and often fragmented. Traditional tools can be overwhelming, and accessing the right data at the right time is difficult.

Solution
A voice-based AI assistant that:
•  Listens to planners' needs and refines queries through conversation.
•  Analyzes city data to identify sustainability challenges.
•  Recommends strategies for reducing traffic emissions, increasing green spaces, and optimizing energy use.
•  Visualizes projected impacts of proposed solutions, such as air quality improvements or carbon footprint reductions.
•  Provides insights on financial incentives and policy recommendations.
•  Supports planners with case studies and real-world examples of successful implementations.

Potential Business Value
A voice-based AI assistant for urban sustainability could streamline decision-making, reduce analysis time, and
improve collaboration between planners, policymakers, and communities. By making complex data more accessible
through natural conversation, it could drive more effective sustainability initiatives, attract funding for green projects,
and position cities as leaders in smart urban development.
