# Douala Ride AI AI-powered urban mobility platform designed for Douala, Cameroon. ## Vision **Tell the AI where you need to go. Let the AI handle the journey.** Douala Ride is designed as an AI mobility operating system rather than a conventional ride-hailing clone. ## Architecture - Python + Flask API - MySQL + SQLAlchemy - Mistral AI agent with controlled backend tools - OpenStreetMap + Leaflet + OSRM routing - Mobile Money through PawaPay or compatible provider - Real-time driver/trip tracking - Passenger application - Driver application - Mobility Command Center for administrators ## Core rule The AI never directly accesses the database. Every action follows: `AI -> Tool -> Backend Service -> Validation -> Database / External API` ## Primary demo > I need to go from Bonaberi to Akwa before 8 AM and I have a budget of 1,500 FCFA. The platform should plan the journey, compare transport options, match a driver, book, initiate payment, track the journey and expose the trip to the administrator dashboard. ## Development See `.env.example` for configuration. Start with the backend foundation, then build the end-to-end Bonaberi-to-Akwa journey before expanding the feature set.
