An Indian engineer in Bengaluru got tired of potholes destroying his car.
So he built an app with Codex that detects them, finds who is responsible, and files a complaint.
Here is how it works. He installed a dashcam with GPS and an accelerometer. The app records everything while he drives.
A vision model classifies every pothole by size. Small, medium, large.
But here is the clever part. Most Indian roads are under warranty.
The contractor who built them is legally responsible for fixing potholes for free.
His app searches through 2,900 government contracts, finds the exact tender number, identifies the officer responsible, attaches the photo and geolocation, and generates a ready-to-file complaint.
One drive to work. 12 potholes detected. 12 complaints ready.

Same paneer.
Same quantity.
₹ 109 on Amazon Now
₹ 140 on Blinkit
That’s ₹31 Crazy price difference spotted on Buyhatke💀
Now just think If one item can save ₹31, imagine what your entire grocery cart is costing you.
@CaterNinja very disappointed with the service for our house warming ceremony event. And to compensate that you are offering just 500/- ?
More than that I have spent on swiggy ok that day.
At your kitchen, 1.5KG paneer lababdar cost is just 500/- ?
If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone?
The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered.
My demand is simple.
Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see:
• Which road is being worked on
• The cost of the project
• The contractor executing it
• The officer responsible
• The timeline for completion
• The maintenance period
• The defect liability period
• The real-time status of the work
This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform.
Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust.
₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers.
Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going.
