LegalDocSummariser

We built an AI-powered Legal Document Assistant that helps users quickly understand and work with complex legal documents.

Problem:
Legal contracts, policies, and case laws are long, jargon-heavy, and time-consuming to read. Lawyers and businesses waste hours searching for key clauses, risks, or answers.

Our Solution:
An end-to-end AI pipeline that:

1. Ingests documents (PDF, Word, text) and preprocesses them.

2. Embeds & stores chunks in a vector database (FAISS/Pinecone).

3. Uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Mistral-7B-Instruct to:

   • Summarize contracts into plain English.

   • Answer user questions with citations.

   • Highlight risky or critical clauses.

   • Auto-generate skeleton legal briefs with evidence-backed arguments.

4. Frontend (React + Tailwind) for file upload, queries, and results.

5. Backend (FastAPI + LangChain) handles embeddings, retrieval, and orchestration.

Why it’s impactful:

• ⏱ Saves hours → contracts summarized in minutes.

• ⚖️ Makes law accessible → non-lawyers can understand documents.

• 💰 Reduces legal costs → automates first drafts & clause detection.

• 📑 Increases trust → answers come with real citations from documents.

Future scope:

• Voice-based search & response.

• Multi-language legal support.

• Fine-tuning for specific domains (contracts, compliance, case law).

• Integrations into enterprise document workflows.
