How it works

e-zakon is a service that uses artificial intelligence to give clear answers to legal questions about the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan. You phrase your question the way you would explain it to a friend, and e-zakon interprets it, finds the applicable provisions in a prepared database of current legislation, and returns an answer in plain language — with references to the specific acts and articles you can check for yourself.

You ask your question in your own words — in Uzbek or Russian. You don't need to know the name of the relevant law or find the exact wording: it's enough to describe the situation as you understand it. From there the question passes through several stages of analysis, and in about a couple of minutes you receive a finished answer.

Under the hood, the work is divided into a sequence of steps, each responsible for its own task.

Interpreting the question. First, e-zakon works out what exactly you are asking: what situation is involved, who the parties are, what outcome you are interested in. Your everyday wording is translated into the language of legal concepts.

Breaking it into sub-questions. A single real-life question almost always breaks down into several legal ones. The system separates out these sub-questions so that no significant aspect of the matter is left unanswered.

Searching for provisions by meaning. For each sub-question, the search mechanism looks for the applicable provisions by meaning, not by matching words. The search is bilingual: it works with the Russian and Uzbek texts of the legislation at the same time, so the relevant provision is found regardless of the language it is written in in the act and the language you used to ask your question.

Synthesizing the answer. A language model reads the provisions it has found and sets them out in plain, human language, without legalese. The task at this stage is not to retell the law word for word, but to explain what it means for your situation.

Verifying every statement. Before the answer reaches you, a separate verification mechanism checks each statement against the original text of the law. We follow the principle of "cite or drop": if a statement cannot be confirmed by a provision, it does not make it into the answer. If something is not in the law, e-zakon does not say it. That is why every material statement comes with a reference to a specific act and article.

An ordinary chatbot answers confidently, but it can invent a provision, an article, or a fine that does not exist — and you cannot tell from the answer itself. In e-zakon there is a verification stage between the synthesis and you, which cuts out anything not confirmed by the text of the law: the answer is checked before you see it, not after.

Keyword search solves a different, narrower task — it finds documents that contain the words you searched for and leaves you with dozens of files still to work through on your own. e-zakon instead finds the provisions by meaning, reads them, and assembles them into a single coherent answer with specific articles, deadlines, and fines.

The finished answer arrives in about a couple of minutes. It includes the specific articles, deadlines, and fines that apply to your situation; you can save it as a PDF and share it. Everything material is backed by verifiable references, so you don't have to take it on trust — you can open the original source.

Questions are asked in the Telegram bot (sign in via Telegram or Google), and the price is 24,999 UZS per question. Separate rates are available for organizations. The whole system runs on Google Cloud infrastructure.

e-zakon's answers are reference information, not legal advice. Artificial intelligence can be wrong, so for important decisions double-check the information and consult a qualified lawyer. We provide references to specific acts and articles precisely so that you can verify every statement yourself.
