Sutham - Know Where It Belongs

Sutham is a proactive multimodal interactive on-device, agentic waste-sorting assistant. Sorting waste correctly is often confusing. People frequently mix materials, improperly dispose of items (like throwing e-waste or hazardous materials into regular bins), or are unsure of how to prepare waste before discarding it (e.g., whether to rinse a container). This leads to contaminated recycling streams and environmental hazards. How Sutham Works Sutham solves this by acting as a smart, multimodal agent that guides you through the process based on local BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) bin rules (Wet, Dry, Reject, Sanitary, E-waste, Hazardous). Here is what makes it unique: On-Device and Offline (Gemma 4 E2B): You can point your phone at any waste item, and Sutham will use a local, on-device vision model to identify the item, reason about its material, and tell you which bin it belongs to—all without needing an internet connection. The Agent Loop (Sense -> Decide -> Act -> Check): Confirm & Clarify: If Sutham is unsure, it proactively asks you clarifying questions (e.g., "Is that plastic container clean or dirty?"). Learn: It remembers your corrections locally. If you correct it once, the next scan of the same item is resolved instantly. Safety Net: It prevents dangerous disposal. E-waste and hazardous materials are never assigned a standard bin; instead, Sutham defers them to the nearest human drop-off kiosk. Live Mode (Gemini Live API): For a more interactive experience, you can use a continuous voice-to-voice mode. You can talk to Sutham in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, or Telugu while showing it your bin, and it will proactively identify items and speak its replies. In short, Sutham takes the guesswork out of waste management by putting an adaptive, learning, and privacy-first AI agent right in your pocket.
