PROBLEM Every night, 5 crore Indians sleep in jail not because they are guilty — but because they cannot afford a lawyer. 76% are from marginalized communities. A bail application costs ₹5,000–₹15,000 and takes 7–14 days. The family in the village speaks Odia or Bhojpuri. The court paperwork is in English. The gap between arrest and justice is not legal — it is linguistic and economic. SOLUTION NyayaSetu + ZamanatAI turns a WhatsApp message into a court-ready bail application PDF in under 60 seconds. Zero cost. Zero lawyer needed. Zero English required. A family member types what happened — in Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, or 7 other Indian languages. Our system classifies the legal intent, checks bail eligibility under BNSS 2023, generates the application with correct sections and surety bond, and sends a download link back on WhatsApp. The entire flow takes less time than boiling chai. TECHNOLOGY Groq LLM for real-time NLU across 8 legal domains IndicTrans2 for 11-language translation with script detection FastAPI + Twilio WhatsApp API for zero-app-install citizen access Adaptive feedback loop: lawyers and NGO volunteers correct outputs, confidence scores update, dataset improves automatically 2,184 interaction records published on HuggingFace + Kaggle, credited to Adaption Labs Adaptive Data Track Intent accuracy: 81% → 98% through 1,272 real correction events IMPACT This is not a chatbot demo. This is infrastructure for legal access. The same family that cannot read a court notice can now generate one — from a ₹500 Android phone, on WhatsApp, in their mother tongue, for free. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Every legal AI startup targets English-speaking urban professionals who can already afford lawyers. We target the 76% who cannot. Our dataset is the first open-source multilingual Indian legal-aid fine-tuning corpus with adaptive correction metadata — freely available for any researcher or NGO to build on. India's justice system has a 4.5 crore case backlog. NyayaSetu does not solve that. But it ensures that when your brother is arrested at 2am in a village in Telangana, his family does not wait 14 days to even file for bail.
