Government schemes, portals, and entitlements exist for you — but agents and middlemen charge ₹300–₹2,000 per task to navigate them. GovLens makes every gov portal readable, searchable, and actionable in your own language. No middleman. No agent. No fee.

Middlemen charge ₹300–₹2,000 to look this up for you. It takes 3 seconds here, for free.
Auto-detects the page language — Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Urdu, Assamese, English. Translate the whole page or just a selection, into any of 22+ target languages. Your AI key, your control.
Every gov page exposes its information architecture in one panel: sections, forms (with field counts), downloadable docs, navigation menus, breadcrumbs. Click anything to scroll right to it with a flash highlight.
Search "income tax deduction" — your query gets translated to the page's language automatically. Every result shows the section it came from. Click to jump and pulse-highlight the exact sentence on the page.
Detects which government sector you're on (health, education, tax, agriculture, welfare, land, transport) and shows every scheme you likely qualify for based on your profile. Direct apply links. Docs needed. Time to do it yourself. Money saved vs an agent.
Middlemen charge for knowledge that belongs to citizens. GovLens makes that knowledge free.
Translate any gov page into Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi and 95+ more. Three free engines tried in order — on-device AI, Google Translate, then Anthropic.
Every heading, form, PDF, and nav menu extracted and made clickable. Never hunt for a form again — jump directly to it.
PAN, GSTIN, PMJAY, NCLT, FEMA — hover any acronym for a plain-language explanation. 80+ terms built-in.
Watch any gov page for changes. GovLens polls every 12 hours and sends a Chrome notification when new content appears — vacancies, orders, scheme updates.
One-click grade (A–F) for any gov page: structure, accessibility, mobile readiness, form quality. History tracked so you can see if a site improves.
No account. No server. No analytics. Your data stays in your browser. Translation calls go directly from your device to the AI — GovLens never sees them.

That's it. Translation uses on-device AI and Google Translate for free. An Anthropic API key is optional — it unlocks higher-quality translations and AI summaries.
The "service" they sell is knowledge — which URL, which form, which field, which office. Government portals are built for officials, not citizens. They're in English when users speak Hindi. They scatter information across 40+ different domains with no central map. Agents profit from that confusion. GovLens removes the confusion and makes the knowledge free.
No. Translation works free via on-device AI (Chrome 138+) and Google Translate. An Anthropic API key is optional — it unlocks AI summaries, plain-language rewrites, and fallback for rare languages not covered by the free engines.
India (.gov.in, .nic.in), UK (.gov.uk), USA (.gov, .mil), Canada (.gc.ca, .canada.ca), Australia (.gov.au), New Zealand (.govt.nz), Singapore, South Africa, Ireland, EU, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Japan, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal. State / regional gov sites within these countries work the same as central ones — Indian state portals (often the worst-built) get full support.
Yes — and it's specifically designed for them. State portals (karnataka.gov.in, kerala.gov.in, up.gov.in, etc.) tend to have the worst UX of any gov sites in India. GovLens handles their messy markup, regional-language-only text, and broken navigation as well as it does central portals.
The extension reads the page and overlays UI in a side panel — it doesn't modify the page unless you ask it to (e.g. translate). One-click restore puts everything back to original. The only always-on additions are: a small floating search bar, dotted underlines on jargon, and a draft restore banner if a saved form is detected.
22 official languages of India + several international ones (Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese). You can also type any custom language name.
No. GovLens is an independent, free, open-source project built to make public-sector portals more accessible. It is not endorsed by any ministry or department.
Submission in progress. Until then, install via Developer mode — it takes under 60 seconds and works identically to a Store-installed extension. Instructions above.
