Developing AI Powered Legal Consulting Platform
Legal Lens AI is an advanced, AI-powered chat platform designed to deliver quick, accessible consultations on legal and related topics for professionals and the general public. The project began as a partially coded prototype on Replit, built with AI code generation tools, but suffered from critical bugs, incomplete integrations, and unreliable features. Our mission was to transform this unstable MVP into a secure, scalable, and production-ready solution that meets enterprise standards for legal technology.

Project Challenges
- Inherited Prototype: The original system was a buggy, AI-generated draft with missing documentation, unreliable user registration, broken payment flows, and unstable chat logic.
- Security Risks: The platform lacked enterprise-grade security, exposing sensitive legal data to potential vulnerabilities.
- Inconsistent User Experience: Registration, login, and payment processes were inconsistent, and the AI chat often failed to deliver relevant answers.
- No Legal Guarantees: The platform was not designed to provide real, citation-backed legal advice—responses are hypothetical and not suitable for actual legal proceedings.
- Ambitious Vision: The client sought a platform that could revolutionize legal research and document analysis, with custom OpenAI ChatGPT integration and advanced litigation readiness features.
