न्यायसाथी — Your Justice Companion


Every woman deserves to know her rights — not someday, not after hiring a lawyer, but right now, in her own words.



Overview

NyayaSaathi is an AI-powered legal assistant designed to make Indian law understandable, accessible, and actionable for women across India.

Women often face legal issues without knowing their rights, the relevant laws, or where to seek help. NyayaSaathi bridges this gap by offering instant, plain-language legal guidance.

A user simply describes her situation in natural language. NyayaSaathi then:

  • Identifies the relevant legal domain
  • Explains her rights in simple language
  • Provides a personalized step-by-step action plan
  • Connects her to verified legal aid organizations
  • Offers continued support through follow-up questions

No legal jargon. No consultation fees. No barriers.
