Abstract : The legal system in India is undergoing significant reforms with the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) [9], Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)[10], and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA)[11]. These new legal codes aim to modernize and simplify the legal framework, but they also pose challenges for legal professionals and litigants who must navigate these changes. This research proposes an AI-powered Legal Chatbot that leverages the BNS, BNSS, and BSA as its foundational knowledge base, while also integrating user-uploaded contextual documents, such as landmark judgments, to provide accurate and context-aware legal suggestions. The chatbot employs Google Generative AI Embeddings for text processing, FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search) for efficient similarity search, and Groq's LLaMA 3 (Large Language Model Meta AI) model for generating responses. By combining deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), this research establishes a scalable and reproducible framework for legal assistance, enabling users to receive precise legal advice and suggestions for litigative situations. The chatbot also provides real-time alerts and dynamically maps legal provisions, ensuring improved access to justice and streamlined legal research.
