GouvX
A chatbot using RAG to help you navigate French law
GouvX is an assistant based on the service-public.fr website that helps navigate French law. Its goal is to promote better understanding of government topics, encourage civic reflection, and facilitate access to information. By implementing advanced language models, GouvX also aims to demonstrate the democratic utility of these emerging technologies.
Project Overview
GouvX is designed to make French legal information more accessible through conversational AI. Built as an assistant leveraging the comprehensive database of service-public.fr, it transforms complex legal documentation into clear, understandable guidance for citizens. The platform uses advanced language models to foster civic engagement and demonstrate how AI can serve democratic purposes.
Technical Implementation
The system employs RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture to provide contextual answers to legal questions. GouvX can utilize different LLM backends including ChatGPT and Albert, allowing for flexible deployment and optimization based on specific use cases. This technical flexibility ensures robust performance while maintaining accessibility for users.
Democratic Impact
By making French legal information more accessible, GouvX serves as a bridge between citizens and their government. The tool encourages civic reflection by providing clear explanations of legal processes and requirements, ultimately contributing to a more informed citizenry. This demonstrates the potential for AI technologies to strengthen democratic participation through improved access to public information.
