MuunganoGPT is a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system that answers questions about the structure, history, and law of the Tanzanian Union. Responses are drawn from verified documents — not from the model's imagination alone.
Whether you're a young person, a student, or anyone trying to understand why Tanzania has two governments, when the Union was formed, or what *Union Matters* actually means — without wading through hundreds of PDF pages.
