Solution

We would like to solve this by using generative AI for parsing the documents, to assist the human verifier. This would include different text formats and languages. The AI will be acting as a copilot.

Problem

Platform for decentralized verification, requires documents related to land registry, real estate ownership to be verified in fast, reliable manner.

Land Registry and Ownership document parser using Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Please describe your proposed solution

Document AI

As part of the review process on the Reitcircles platform, different players in the ecosystem (legal, owner, notary, government etc.) would upload documents related to the verification process. And each of these documents needs to be reviewed.

Verified (KYC +Qualifications) Human agents are part of the review process. And the AI agent being created will help in parsing and extracting relevant information making the review easier for the agents.

  • Following diagram illustrates the overall process of AI based flow of data.

  • Image file

  • Also there will be UI/UX which will integrate with the above data pipeline and the backend API that will connect to it.

  • So all the above components help in the process of verification on the platform.

  • This platform also enables digitization of land registry and make maximum use of AI for this.

With AI integrated into the data being generated on the Cardano network, we will be able to better leverage the Cardano blockchain for real world applications.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

  • The data and the model generated from the Document parsing will eventually feed into the blockchain, as utility will increase from real world projects,
  • The automation of document parsing leads to a faster and more robust verification process and SDKs created for this will benefit other Realfi projects who are dealing with similar challenges.

The impact of AI can be measured in terms of the time and effort the verifiers spend in arriving at the final result. And how over time, the system should self learn and process documents dynamically at the time of upload itself, helping the verifiers with cleaner data sources during review.

The learnings, data models generated, and the AI code, will be made open sourced so that other real world projects in the ecosystem can add to the knowledge base and help expand the utility of the chain.
