description

Chitti Product Scanner — capture-or-type analyser for Indian families. User uploads a photo (or types out the label, when camera fails) of a product label, medicine strip, bill, or document; Chitti returns product type (food / medicine / legal_doc / bill / mrp / insurance / other), key findings, warnings, and savings suggestions. Cross-links to Chitti MedUPI for Jan-Aushadhi alternatives, to Chitti UPI Fraud Guard for insurance-premium safety checks, and to Chitti Vaani for read-aloud results. Type-specific legal disclaimer appended to every response. Use on chitti_scanner.html or for any "is this expired", "is this MRP correct", "what does this medicine label say", or "explain this bill / contract" question.

Chitti Product Scanner — top-level skill

This skill describes the Chitti Product Scanner product as a whole. It loads when the user asks about scanning a label, reading a medicine strip, decoding a bill, summarising a contract / policy, or checking food labels for FSSAI info.

Cross-product hooks (built-in)

• Medicine detected → cross_links returns a medupi_lookup hand-off; the frontend calls ${MEDUPI_API_BASE}/api/medupi/medicine/<query> and renders the Jan-Aushadhi panel inline.
• Insurance detected → frontend offers a deep-link to chitti_upi.html with the policy summary pre-filled.
• Food detected (or any time the user wants) → "Have Chitti read this aloud" deep-links to chitti_vaani.html?from=scanner with the result handed off via sessionStorage.
• Bill / MRP overcharging → tel-link to consumer helpline 1800-11-4000.
