What Garant legal bot does
Legal reference systems are where lawyers actually look things up, and their web portals are built for a desktop and a subscription. A bot is the light end of that: ask for a document, get the text; follow the news feed, see what changed this week.
For a non-lawyer the useful case is narrow but real - checking what a law actually says before repeating what someone told you it says. For a professional it is a convenience layer over a system they already pay for.
This is a Russian-market service by definition, and a bot cannot replace the full system: cross-references, editions and commentary live in the paid product.

FAQ
Can it replace a lawyer?
No. It hands you the text of a document; applying it to your situation is the part a lawyer is paid for.
How do I know the text is current?
Check the edition date on the document. Russian law changes often, and a text without a date is a text you cannot rely on.
