Welcome to the German Residency Law Assistant project! This tool in the form of a Jupyter notebook helps bridge the information gap between the German legal system and the general public, offering assistance with residency-related queries.

It's designed to be an easy way to ask questions about the german laws relating to residencey, and get answers which relate to your specific situation. It is not meant to replace a lawyer, but rather to help you understand the laws and how they apply to you.

Let's reduce information asymmetry!

The Local Version is designed for users who prefer running the German Residency Law Assistant on their local machine. It involves the installation of additional components such as Ollama and specific models. Follow the instructions in the Local Version README for setup.

The Remote Version is hosted remotely, eliminating the need for local installations. Users can access and interact with the German Residency Law Assistant without dealing with additional dependencies. Refer to the Remote Version README for instructions on using the hosted version.
