Client and Business Goals

Their overarching business goal was to create an AI legal assistant capable of understanding and simplifying complex legal documents. The assistant was to be adept at removing legal jargon, converting the language into layman’s terms, and summarizing lengthy legal texts, covering varied documents such as business contracts, rental agreements, and mortgage papers.

The client’s immediate objectives included scaling their existing Chrome Extension into a robust web platform and implementing substantial upgrades to the Chrome Extension to enhance user experience and functionality. Their ultimate goal was to make legal documents more accessible to the general public and professionals alike, promoting widespread usage of their AI assistant across different platforms.

The Challenges

Developing an AI legal assistant posed several significant challenges:

Complex Language Parsing: Legal documents often contain intricate language and terminology. The AI needed to accurately comprehend these complexities and reliably translate them into simpler, more understandable text.
Scalability: Moving from a Chrome Extension to a scalable web-based platform required ensuring the system could handle increased user load, maintain performance, and integrate seamlessly with clients’ workflows.
User Experience: Upgrading the existing Chrome Extension to be more user-friendly while incorporating advanced features without compromising on speed and accuracy was essential.
Data Security: Handling sensitive legal documents mandates high levels of security to protect user data from potential breaches.
Recognition and Validation: Establishing the product as a credible and indispensable tool in the legal tech domain was essential for market penetration and user adoption.
