Overview

Policy Visualizer is an AI-powered application that helps you explore and understand how different countries, ideologies, and political systems approach common policy challenges. Using the Gemini AI API, the application analyzes policy issues, clusters similar approaches, and provides interactive visualizations to help identify patterns and differences across global policy landscapes.

Features

  • AI-Driven Policy Analysis: Enter any policy challenge and receive a comprehensive analysis powered by Gemini AI
  • Multi-Dimensional Clustering: Visualize policies grouped by various taxonomies (geographic, ideological, system-based, etc.)
  • Interactive Visualization: Explore clusters and individual country approaches through an intuitive tabbed interface
  • Detailed Summaries: Click on any cluster or country to view in-depth analysis and policy descriptions
  • Responsive Design: Modern, dark-themed UI built with React and TypeScript

Technology Stack

  • Frontend: React 19.2 with TypeScript
  • Build Tool: Vite 6.2
  • AI Integration: Google Gemini API (@google/genai)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS (via utility classes)
  • State Management: React Hooks

AI Studio POC

This project contains a proof of concept (POC) that was autopopulated by Google AI Studio. It is intended as a code starter and may not yet have been manually reviewed and/or taken further. I create some Gemini POCs, in particular, to experiment with/test the capabilities of multimodal AI.
