Overview
NIKA Mobile is an AI-first field survey application built for environmental compliance teams. It combines on-device speech-to-text, LLM-powered form auto-fill, GPS tracking, and offline-first architecture into a single mobile app — so field teams can collect high-quality structured data without reliable connectivity. Available on iOS and Android.
