Ilma

Ilma (ইলমা) is a Bangla voice-first app that helps ordinary savers in Bangladesh check their bank before trusting it with their life savings. In 2024, allegations of large-scale money laundering at banks linked to the S Alam Group shook public trust, and millions of people were left asking one question: which bank is safe now? The answers sit inside long English annual reports that most savers cannot read. With Ilma you just say a bank's name in Bangla (or English). Ilma tells you the bank's risk level, whether your deposit is protected under the Deposit Protection Act 2026 (up to Tk 2 lakh), and the key figures behind it (capital ratio, bad loans, credit rating), each linked to its published source and date. It also answers questions about deposit, DPS, FDR, card and loan products. When the data is not published, Ilma says so instead of guessing. It never asks for a PIN, account number or amount, and it gives information, not advice. Live: https://app.sumon.me (web + Android, Bangla and English, switches language automatically from what you say). Prior work declared: the bank figures were collected from public disclosures (annual reports, rating agency releases, news) before the event and hand-checked by me. Everything in the app, voice agent, rules engine, tests and Meta model integration was built during the hackathon (27 Oct to 4 Nov 2026).
