Government websites serve as sources of information and services related to public affairs, playing an essential role in connecting citizens with government institutions, but they are notorious for their complexity and lack of user-friendly design. The vast amount of information available on these sites can make it incredibly difficult to find what you're looking for. We created GovEase to make navigating government websites easier for users. All the user has to do to use GovEase is choose a language, choose a country, and input the government service or benefit they are looking for. The system will then find the documents and information that are responsive to the user's inquiry. GovEase can be used by native English speakers and people with limited English proficiency who speak Spanish, Hindi, French, Urdu, or German, because the results can be translated into one of these languages. GovEase searches any country's government websites to find government documents and information with ease. The tech stack we used for our project is Llama 3.2 (LLM), Browserless, Groq, Streamlit, Python, and LangDetect. Browserless does a search on Google based on the user's query. The search finds the top websites and gets the document links which is then given to LLama 3.2 which structuralizes the search results (output and links). LangDetect is a library that detects the language that the user wants and translates the results into the language the user wants. We are using Llama 3.2 from the Groq API key as the hosting platform and the front end deployment is hosted by Streamlit.

"Tech: The project demonstrates strong real-world applicability, modular design, and multi-modal integration. Adding robust error handling and comprehensive documentation would push it to a perfect score. Business value: B2G approach might make a lot of sense Originality: love the idea - very cool Presentation: missing a competitor analaysis & in depth view of plans"
