Summary
I built Mono for the Meta AI hackathon to give people who lose Medicaid and other public benefits because of paperwork a simple text‑message assistant that finds, applies for, and renews those benefits. I demonstrate how Mono runs on Modal, scans complex forms, benchmarks against custom text‑message tasks, and uses a sandboxed VM to process applications while simultaneously texting the client. I also show a real‑world flow where Mono, partnered with AidKit and Propel’s 5 million‑user EBT platform, discovers eligibility, fills out website forms, and submits the application on the user's behalf. The goal is to create a common, AI‑driven front‑end that streamlines enrollment for food, healthcare, transportation, and emergency aid.
