# Konya Konya is an AI-powered benefits navigator that helps people understand whether they **may qualify** for a public support program and what to do next. Users bring the official policy document or link that applies to their case. Konya interprets eligibility rules in plain language, guides them through a conversational interview, and produces a structured **Action Blueprint**. --- ## The Problem Public support systems — food assistance, student aid, childcare subsidies, healthcare programs, emergency relief — are often fragmented and written in bureaucratic language. Under stress or time pressure, people struggle to move from *"I found a policy"* to *"Does this apply to me?"* and *"What should I do next?"* Most tools list programs. They do not help users **interpret rules** for a specific policy they already have in hand. --- ## The Solution Konya uses a **Bring Your Own Policy (BYOP)** approach. There is no proprietary program database. The system reads the user's source document, extracts eligibility criteria into an internal checklist, asks focused questions in plain language, and generates an Action Blueprint with preparation steps and next actions. | Konya does | Konya does not | |------------|----------------| | Interpret rules from the user's policy | Act as a program directory | | Guide users through eligibility questions | Guarantee outcomes | | Produce hedged, actionable next steps | Submit applications or provide legal advice | **Languages:** English · Kiswahili · Sheng **Built for:** students, workers, caregivers, families, and community case managers navigating complex systems under time pressure. --- ## User Flow ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Onboarding — language & account choice] --> B[Launchpad] B --> C[Describe situation + policy link/document] C --> D[Chat created] D --> E{Gatekeeper — is document relevant?} E -->|No| F[Rejection message + resubmit form] E -->|Yes| G[Policy cached + eligibility checklist built] G --> H[Interviewer a …
