Billions of people cannot get basic health guidance or education because they live far from a clinic, cannot read, or cannot afford a modern setup. CommunityCare is a voice-first assistant built for them. A person speaks a question and hears a clear spoken answer. The answer also appears on screen, so it works with sound off. It has two modules. Health Triage listens to symptoms and says whether it is an emergency, something to see a doctor about soon, or manageable at home, with steps to take and warning signs to watch. It never diagnoses or names a condition, and every health answer ends with a reminder to see a real healthcare provider, even during a system failure. The Education module explains math, science, and language in short spoken sentences for low-literacy learners and ends with a follow-up question. Pipeline: AssemblyAI real-time speech-to-text, a Groq classifier that sorts questions into health, education, or off-topic, ChromaDB retrieval from a local knowledge base, a Groq model (gpt-oss-20b) that writes the answer, and Edge TTS to speak it. Off-topic questions are refused on purpose, because an assistant that answers everything cannot be trusted with health. API keys never reach the browser. The frontend is one HTML file, the backend is FastAPI, and the install is 338 MB. No login, no account needed. NGOs, clinics, and learning centers can run it on one shared device.
