Constitucion.ai

Constitucion.ai is a specialized AI chatbot built by the Universidad Central de Chile to help citizens understand the country's proposed new constitution. It was launched ahead of the December 17, 2023 plebiscite, offering a conversational interface that explains the legal text in everyday language. The tool is free to use through its website and aims to make constitutional information accessible to everyone, regardless of their legal or political background.

The chatbot runs on GPT-4, OpenAI's advanced language model, which has been fine-tuned to answer questions about the constitutional proposal. It breaks down complex legal jargon into simple, clear responses. For subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, there's a specialized version called ConstitucionGPT that offers more personalized and in-depth dialogue. The project is also open-source — its knowledge base and development process are shared on GitHub, inviting community contributions and ensuring transparency.

Constitucion.ai is most useful for Chilean voters who want to make an informed decision at the polls, students studying civics or law, and anyone curious about the constitutional reform process. It turns a dense legal document into a friendly conversation, making civic education more engaging and less intimidating. The tool is straightforward: you ask a question, and it answers based on the official proposal text, with the caveat that its interpretations are academic and not formal legal advice.
