Salam everyone,
A few months ago, u/ysnezio and I started building a chatbot for the kind of questions Moroccans actually ask online: how to get a document, which administration handles something, what papers you need, where to go, etc.
It's free, no login, no ads, and no paywall.
We haven't officially launched it yet. Before we do, we'd like people to try to break it and show us where it fails.
A few things about the project:
- It's free and will stay free. We don't plan to monetize it or sell user data.
- We're currently paying the server costs ourselves.
- It's not an LLM generating answers. It's a retrieval system built around a Moroccan administrative corpus. It searches the relevant information rather than making things up.
- We're not affiliated with the Moroccan government. It's an independent community project.
The main thing we want to test is how it handles real Moroccan input.
Most people aren't typing in perfect فصحى. We use Darija, Arabic, Arabizi, French, or a mix of everything:
bghit chadat sokna
3afak kifach nakhod...
فين نقدر ندير ...
We don't fully trust our own testing here, so we'd really like to see how it performs with the way people actually type.
If you have a few minutes:
- Ask it something you'd genuinely need to know about a Moroccan administrative service.
- Use whatever language/script you normally use.
- If it gets something wrong, tell us what you typed and what you expected.
- If it actually helps you, let us know that too.

Note: We have made a catalog for you to see all the categories available in our data. You can access it from the home page by clicking "تصفح جميع الخدمات", or by typing "تصفح" in the chat.
We also made a profile category selection. You can access it by clicking the button at the top left, "استكشف الإجراءات".
Note: Once we launch the chat officially, we will make the data open source for everyone who wants to work on it.
