Kheto: fire alerts for Indian farmers
Indian farmers get fire alerts at the state level — the same notification fires whether a blaze is 3 km away or 80 km from their field. So they either panic at everything or stop trusting alerts entirely. Kheto scores how relevant a given fire actually is to your farm — using NASA FIRMS satellite passes, the vegetation and wind between the fire and your land, distance, and live weather — and pairs it with a Gemini-powered advisor that already knows your crop and location. The hardest call: I ran the fire-alert engine silently in the MVP. A false "all clear" in fire safety destroys trust permanently, so it logged its predictions until the data earned the right to alert. I did the competitive research, wrote the PRD, sequenced the build, and shipped to closed beta on Google Play — solo, with AI build tools.
