Voice-powered hand-free eyes-free end-to-end experience for information access and task completion. Despite remarkable technological advancements, a significant part of the disability community remains marginalized in terms of access to information and employment opportunities. Current statistics reveal that a staggering 70% of this community is unemployed, contributing to an annual loss of nearly $12 billion to the Indian economy. The root of this problem lies in severe lack of awareness and the inaccessibility of digital content. This not only hinders educational and professional growth but also limits awareness and lowers expectations among the community members. Understanding the urgent need for accessible digital content, the NClude service harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs) to provide tailored information and career guidance to people with disabilities in India in their local language. The project leverages AI technology to deliver career recommendations, upskilling content, and civic information through user-friendly platforms like WhatsApp and IVR phone calls. Our goal is to unlock new opportunities for a significant portion of the population, equivalent to Sri Lanka's population size, transforming their lives through technology.
