Platform Overview

Intelligence for Good (i4g) combines human expertise with responsible AI to help communities identify, document, and report online fraud. The platform currently targets crypto and romance scams that disproportionately affect seniors and other vulnerable populations.

Mission

• Empower users to verify suspicious conversations early and receive actionable guidance.

• Equip volunteer analysts with a secure, collaborative workspace for evidence review.

• Deliver standardized, court-ready reports that accelerate law enforcement investigations.

Core Capabilities

Layer	Capabilities	Primary Technologies
Ingestion	OCR for screenshots, text normalization, language & sentiment detection	Python, Tesseract OCR
Extraction	Entity and relationship extraction, scam classification	LangChain, Vertex AI Gemini
Storage & Retrieval	Structured Firestore collections, semantic vector search, Azure export integration	Firestore, Vertex AI Search, Chroma (prototype)
Human Review	Streamlit Analyst Dashboard with PII masking	Streamlit on Cloud Run
Reporting	Automated generation of law-enforcement-ready summaries	FastAPI, templated doc generation

Environments

Environment	Purpose	Cloud Project	Access
Development	Iteration, staging data syncs, volunteer onboarding	i4g-dev	Restricted to core contributors via Google IAM
Production (planned)	Live analyst operations, partnership pilots	i4g-prod	Provisioned but not yet active

Both environments are provisioned via Terraform (see infra/environments/*). Each Cloud Run service uses dedicated service accounts, Secret Manager for credentials, and structured logging.

Current Endpoints

Service	URL	Notes
Analyst Dashboard	https://streamlit-analyst-ui-y5jge5w2cq-uc.a.run.app/	Google Identity-aware proxy required (custom domains intelligenceforgood.gitbook.io and i4g.gitbook.io pending nonprofit approval).
API Gateway	https://fastapi-gateway-y5jge5w2cq-uc.a.run.app/	Authenticated via Google Identity Platform; future IAM enhancements TBD.

Placeholder: When custom domains are issued, update the table with the preferred SaaS-style hostnames (e.g., app.intelligenceforgood.org, api.i4g.app).

Program Status

• ✅ Prototype validated with end-to-end ingestion, analyst review, and report generation.
