How InBridge works

InBridge is built by a small independent team. It is not a government website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or run on behalf of any government body. The code is open on GitHub.

InBridge is an independent AI assistant, not a government website. Answers can be wrong, so confirm on the official portal linked in each answer.

An answer is put together in up to three steps, in this order.

First, a scheme dataset from myScheme

InBridge keeps a copy of the public scheme listing on myscheme.gov.in, a snapshot taken in August 2026. It has 4,739 schemes: 709 Central and 4,030 State schemes, across 15 categories, 36 states and union territories, and 88 issuing ministries and governments.

For each scheme it holds the name, issuing department, level, states, categories, who it is for, a short description, tags and the myScheme link. It does not hold eligibility rules, document lists, benefit amounts, helplines or deadlines. You can browse it in the scheme directory.

Then, a live search of government websites

When the dataset is not enough, or you ask about something recent, InBridge searches the web through Tavily, restricted to .gov.in and .nic.in websites. Every result is checked again on our server, and pages from other domains are dropped before the AI sees them.

Last, an AI model writes the answer

Answers are written by a large language model: currently Groq-hosted models, with Anthropic or Google Gemini used instead when configured. If one fails, the next is tried. The model works only from the information retrieved from the dataset and the live search, and is told to cite only the sources it was given and to say so when it does not know.

• It does not file applications or complaints for you. It can help you draft a complaint and point you to the official portal.
• It does not fetch your application status or any personal record.
• It does not need your Aadhaar, PAN, OTP or bank details, and blocks messages that look like Aadhaar or PAN numbers.
• It does not decide whether you are eligible. Only the issuing department can.

• AI answers can be wrong or incomplete, even with sources. Check the linked official page.
• The dataset is a snapshot. Schemes added, changed or closed after it was taken may be missing or out of date.
• Live search depends on what government websites publish and what the search provider finds.
• InBridge works in English, Hindi and Hinglish only.
• Chat history is stored in your browser. Sign in, optionally, to save it to your account and continue on another device.

We want InBridge to be usable by everyone. What is in place today:

• Pages are built to be used with a keyboard, starting with a “Skip to main content” link.
• A visible focus outline shows where you are when using a keyboard.
• Pinch-zoom and browser text zoom are allowed.
• Animations are switched off when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Hindi text uses Noto Devanagari fonts with extra line spacing for readability.
• Light and dark themes, and text inputs at a size that phones do not need to zoom into.

InBridge has not had an independent accessibility audit, and testing with screen readers is not yet complete. If something is hard to use, please tell us on GitHub issues.
