PUCAR Initiative
AI Chatbot for Legal Information
JAGRIT, an AI-powered chatbot, provides vulnerable women with voice-enabled, context-specific legal guidance in their own language, ensuring timely and reliable support in times of need.
About
Citizens are unable to access reliable legal information when they need it: at the time of facing a dispute. Para-legals and lawyers are not easily accessible, to disadvantaged groups. Further legal information is often in English and interpreting its application requires expertise.
With iProbono and Shakti Shalini, non-profits working with vulnerable women, we gathered updated laws, regulations and important court decisions on domestic violence and prepared FAQs based on questions women in distress usually asked these organisations. We used this as the knowledge base to develop an AI powered chatbot called Jagrit, built on the Jugalbandi stack.
Available in two Indian languages, extendable to twelve languages, this voice-enabled assistance service empowers users to ask questions in their vernacular language and obtain context-specific legal guidance. Though built for information on domestic violence, Jagrit can be customised for any organisation needing accurate legal information on any topic. Click here to test it out!
