Theme Chosen: Citizen-Centric and Open Innovation

Legal Saathi AI addresses several critical issues in the Indian legal landscape:

1. Lack of accessibility to legal information: Many Indian citizens find it difficult to access accurate legal information due to various barriers such as cost, language, and complexity of legal texts. Legal Saathi AI provides free, instant access to legal information in simple language.

2. Outdated legal knowledge: With frequent updates to laws and regulations, it's challenging for the general public to stay informed about the latest legal changes. Our AI, connected to the internet, ensures that users always receive the most up-to-date information.

3. High cost of legal consultation: Traditional legal consultations can be expensive, deterring many from seeking legal advice. Legal Saathi AI offers a cost-effective alternative for basic legal queries.

4. Time-consuming research: Manually searching through legal documents is time-consuming and often frustrating. Our chatbot provides instant answers, saving users valuable time and effort.

5. Lack of awareness about rights and responsibilities: Many citizens are unaware of their legal rights and responsibilities, particularly with new laws like the Indian Nyaya Sanhita 2023. Legal Saathi AI helps bridge this knowledge gap.

6. Overburdened legal system: By providing easy access to basic legal information, Legal Saathi AI can help reduce the burden on the legal system by addressing simple queries that don't necessarily require a lawyer's intervention.

By solving these problems, Legal Saathi AI aims to empower Indian citizens with legal knowledge, promote legal awareness, and contribute to a more informed and legally conscious society.

Challenges we ran into

🧩 Challenges we ran into

1. We depreciated our RAG Model Approach which earlier used OpenAI Embeddings as Google Gemini AI natively supported 1M Input Tokens which were enough for us.
2. Our Data PDF's and References were more than 8lakh characters, so we had to optimize our inference approach so it can work within 30sec.
3. Ensuring the accuracy of legal information while maintaining real-time updates
4. Integrating the Google Gemini AI model effectively with our custom knowledge base
5. Optimizing response times while maintaining high accuracy
6. Designing a user interface that's accessible to users with varying levels of legal knowledge
