Why Cecile? See the Difference

We asked both ChatGPT and Cecile the same question. See why grounded answers matter.

Question asked (South Africa):

"Can my landlord evict me without notice?"

Generic AI (ChatGPT)

Generic response

"Generally, landlords must provide notice. In most US states, this is typically 30 days for month-to-month tenancies..."

⚠️ Gives US law for a South African question!

Problems:

  • Assumes US jurisdiction
  • No South African law cited
  • Could lead to wrong decisions

Cecile

Grounded in SA law

"No. Under the Prevention of Illegal Eviction Act 19 of 1998 (PIE Act), no person may be evicted without a court order. Your landlord must..."

✓ Cites actual South African legislation

Why it's better:

  • Uses YOUR country's law
  • Cites real Act (PIE Act)
  • Verifiable on SAFLII

🇮🇳 Another Example: India

Question asked (India):

"What are my rights if my employer doesn't pay my salary?"

Generic AI (ChatGPT)

Generic response

"You should file a complaint with your state labor board. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers must pay wages on time..."

⚠️ Cites US law (FLSA) for an Indian question!

Problems:

  • FLSA is US law, not Indian
  • No Indian labour law cited
  • Wrong jurisdiction entirely

Cecile

Grounded in Indian law

"Under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 and Code on Wages, 2019, your employer must pay by the 7th of each month. File a complaint with the Labour Commissioner..."

✓ Cites actual Indian legislation

Why it's better:

  • Uses Indian labour law
  • Cites real Acts
  • Verifiable on Indian Kanoon

Why Cecile is Different

Generic AI gives broad answers. Cecile gives you YOUR country's actual laws.

❌ Generic AI (ChatGPT, etc.)

  • Makes up laws that don't exist
  • Cites fake cases (hallucinations)
  • Gives US/UK law for other countries
  • No sources to verify
  • Dangerous for legal matters

✅ Ask Cecile

  • Searches real legal databases
  • Cites actual cases & statutes
  • Uses YOUR country's law
  • Links to official sources
  • Grounded & verifiable
