We build simple, affordable artificial intelligence products that help people manage their legal obligations and opportunities. We use natural language processing and machine learning to turn unstructured terms, conditions, and words into structured data and insights. Our customers make fast, informed decisions as a result and save both time and money. We do not endeavor to replace people. We believe they need help that only learning machines offer. That help will allow humans to reach new levels of intelligence, imagination and performance unparalleled in history. Ultimately, we believe that our current products are precursors to solutions that will close the global justice gap that exists for the majority of people who are unable to afford the most basic of legal support in their businesses and their lives.
