🚀 Meet our Team
Hi! I’m Utsav Bhattarai 👋, and I’ve teamed up with my friend Rajesh Khadka and our video wizard Bishesh Marasini to bring you AI-KYC. We’re thrilled to share our latest project with you. AI-KYC is an innovative app designed to make the KYC process smarter and simpler.
Connect with us:
We’d love to hear from you and show you how AI-KYC is changing the game in identity verification!
💡 Project Overview
AI-KYC is an innovative web-based application designed to simplify the KYC (Know Your Customer) process for organizations/ Business. It allows orgs to effortlessly create and customize KYC forms directly on the platform. Once KYC forms are set up, the application generates unique links for the respective form that can be shared with end users, who can then fill out the KYC forms with ease. Our machine learning models then work behind the scenes to verify identities by matching document's face with their live selfie.
The platform features a user-friendly dashboard for managing submissions, exporting data to Excel, and viewing key statistics. With JWT authentication, AI-KYC ensures secure and reliable data handling throughout the process.
🔥 Why we did this project
In today's business landscape, whether it’s a startup, big company or any organization, Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is essential. However, hiring multiple employees for manual verification (in most of the cases) is costly and inefficient. So, to reduce this problem to some extent, we decided to build this application as a hackathon Project.
Our innovative solution automates the KYC process, allowing businesses and organizations to integrate a powerful AI-driven system that eliminates the need for a large verification team. AI-KYC verifies users in under a minute, reducing costs, enhancing accuracy, and freeing up resources to focus on growth. After investing a little more time on this, we believe we can come up with it’s refined version.

🛠️ Challenges
Adapting AI Models
Initially, we aimed to develop and train our own AI models locally. However, this required significant CPU, GPU, and memory resources, which our laptops couldn't handle. We decided to use per-trained models but faced issues with compatibility, particularly on Windows. Migrating to Linux helped, but finding the right models and integrating them was a challenging and frustrating process. Ultimately, we overcame these hurdles and successfully integrated the necessary AI models.
🎥 Video Creation and Presentation
Creating this video was a significant step for us, especially as introverts who faced challenges like multiple retakes and background noise. We wanted to clearly communicate our vision for AI-KYC and how our product can solve real-world problems. Committed to our idea, we believed that simply talking about it wasn't enough; we needed the world to visualize its potential.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so we chose to express our concept through a video. With the help of our friend Bishesh Marasini, who handled the video editing, we were able to bring our ideas to life and show the real-world application of AI-KYC. This video is not just an explanation but a visualization of our dedication and the impact we aim to make.
This pic reflects the video editing process.
🔮 Future Plans
1. Seamless Integration:
We plan to integrate AI-KYC directly into existing systems, making it easier for businesses to adopt and use our solution without disrupting their current workflows.
2. Enhanced Machine Learning Accuracy:
We aim to fine-tune our machine learning models to improve accuracy and similarity detection, ensuring even more reliable KYC verification.
3. Providing Verified Certificates or badge:
In future, we are planning to offer verified certificates to customers who complete the KYC process, enabling them to use these certificates across various platforms, streamlining their verification experience.
4. API Outsourcing:
Our goal is to develop and provide an API so that businesses can use AI-KYC in their own unique ways, leveraging our technology to enhance their existing processes.
🚀 Deployment
Yes, you heard it right—AI-KYC is now live! We're using vercel to deploy the front end and render.com to deploy the server and bot components of the application.

🎉 Wrap-up
Overall, developing AI-KYC was an incredible learning experience. We gained valuable insights into advanced AI models, honed our skills in integrating machine learning algorithms, and improved our proficiency with the MERN stack. And most important of all, we developed a new skill of being patient when our code doesn't work and we don't get any solutions at all. The entire journey was rewarding, and we highly encourage anyone interested in innovation to participate in a hackathon and push their limits.
