Gauging Demand For A Verified Citation Ai Legal Research Tool

Card image cap

Hi there, I am a former lawyer and I am together with my cofounder building a (mostly) free AI legal research tool.

The idea is to use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to retrieve real sources for statutes and cases. You can then view snippets of the relevant section of statutes or regs or the relevant paragraph of cases, or the whole section or opinion in a preview mode, all this in the same browser screen. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel (ChatGPT) here - the value add is to help users speed up legal research by being able to identify any hallucinations immediately by checking against primary sources and to not have to go to Westlaw/Lexis to search up the citations, and then manually find the relevant sections/paragraphs to verify.

Right now we just have a landing page with some Figma designs. We would really appreciate some feedback on whether a tool like this would be something useful to you. We intend to keep it free for law students and pro se litigants, up to a generous message limit, and earn from enterprise.
