ChatGPT, when I heard about this in 2022, I gave it a try, I asked to code a simple code for python requests, and it did. I'd be like wow! Imagine, that was just GPT3.5, and we came across every iteration till GPT5, most advance model for general purpose. But, here is the TWIST! It's not expertise in any single field, so for Law.
To solve this, entrepreneurs from India, came up with the AI solutions, finetuning the general purpose LLMs, using APIs with RAG, and optimising the workflow, whatever makes Legal AI workflow accurate.
That's true, if I ask ChatGPT to write a reply to email, it will do the job better than me in seconds. That's not TRUE for law. So.... Let's understand this in this article, about chatgpt and what our entrepreneurs built. We will compare ChatGPT, popular legal AI apps in India like BharatLaw, NyayGuru, Niyam AI, and others, and also LawSimpl. The goal is simple: to help you understand what each tool does, and when to use which.
What ChatGPT Can Do (and Where It Fails in Law)
ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI assistant. It’s excellent at:
Explaining legal concepts in plain English
Drafting simple text or first drafts quickly
Brainstorming or simplifying complex legal jargon
Multilingual answers (though not jurisdiction-specific)
But in law, it has clear gaps:
No Indian law database: It doesn’t track amendments, state laws, or local judgments.
Hallucinations: It may invent fake cases or sections.
No compliance or workflows: No way to track filings, contracts, or legal tasks.
Data risk: Pasting sensitive client documents into a public chatbot can be risky.
For everyday queries or quick summaries, ChatGPT is useful. But for legal work where accuracy matters, it is not enough on its own.
Legal AI Apps in India
Several Indian platforms now focus only on legal work. They are trained with local laws and designed for Indian users. Here’s what they offer:
BharatLaw.ai – Strong in legal research and judgments, with AI search and summaries. Some features for contract drafting.
NyayGuru – A free chatbot that answers legal questions in simple language. Useful for general guidance, but not full drafting or enterprise work.
Vidur.in – Mostly a content site that lists and reviews AI tools. Less of a product, more of an information hub.
LexLegis – Early-stage, limited public details. Likely focused on automation and research.
AiLawyer.pro – Claims to be an AI lawyer assistant, but little proof of adoption in India yet.
Niyam AI – Offers drafting help and has a database of judgments. Public info is limited on depth and security.
Jhana AI – Not much public information yet. Appears to be in early stage.
Law Draft Pro – Mentioned in legal AI discussions, but with little detail or proof of use.
LawSimpl - Research, drafting, reviews, and compliance.. everything your legal team needs in one workspace.
Each of these apps covers some part of legal work — research, chat, or drafting. But few cover the whole workflow end-to-end.
How to Decide
When picking between ChatGPT and Indian legal AI apps, ask yourself:
Do I need simple text or learning.. Use ChatGPT
Do I need case law or judgments quickly.. Try BharatLaw.ai
Do I need basic Q&A in plain language.. Use NyayGuru
Do I want end-to-end drafting, review, research, and compliance for Indian law.. Use LawSimpl
LawSimpl – India’s End-to-End Legal AI
Among Indian platforms, LawSimpl stands out because it combines multiple features in one place. It is built only for Indian laws and workflows.
What LawSimpl offers:
Draft contracts like NDAs, Sale Deeds, HR agreements in minutes
Review agreements with clause extraction, risk notes, and checklists
Research Indian laws, judgments, and compliance rules across states
Track compliance with company-wide and contract-specific calendars
Handle scanned PDFs using OCR for old documents
Support Indian languages and English
Keep data secure and private, suitable for law firms and businesses
Collaborate with your team members in a single workspace
Unlike other tools that focus on only one area, LawSimpl brings together drafting, research, review, and compliance into a single platform.
SO, here we suggest..
AI is already changing legal work in India. ChatGPT is useful for general tasks but not enough for law. Indian legal AI apps like BharatLaw, NyayGuru, and Niyam AI are pushing things forward in specific areas.
But if you want a single tool that covers contracts, compliance, research, and review, and is built only for Indian law, LawSimpl is the most complete option right now.
So what now?
No matter which tool you pick, AI is not 100% accurate yet, always review AI outputs carefully and validate important work with legal judgment. AI is a strong assistant — but in law, the final responsibility still lies with the lawyer or business using it.
