The original DoNotPay, created by Stanford student Joshua Browder, describes itself as the worlds first robot lawyer, giving free legal aid to users through a simple-to-use chat interface. The chatbot, using Facebook Messenger, can now help refugees fill in an immigration application in the US and Canada. For those in the UK, it helps them apply for asylum support.
The chatbot works by asking the user a series of questions, in order to determine which application the refugee needs to fill out and whether a refugee is eligible for asylum protection under international law.
After this, it takes down the necessary details required for the appropriate asylum application an I-589 for the United States or a Canadian Asylum Application for Canada. Those in the UK are told they need to apply in person, and the bot helps fill out an ASF1 form for asylum support.
Browder says it was crucial the questions were in plain English. The language in these forms can be quite complicated, he said.
These details are used to auto-fill an application form for either the US, Canada or the UK. Once the form is sent off, the details are deleted from my end, said Browder.
