JuristAI aims to democratise justice using AI, creating fairer legal systems with innovative tools for attorneys and founders
JuristAI was born out of a deep concern for the inequities in our (US) justice system.
"With the Federal government boasting a staggering 97% conviction rate—higher than even some authoritarian regimes like China and Iran—we felt compelled to act," says Ali, founder of JuristAI.
"Our mission is clear: to use AI to level the playing field and create a fairer justice system for all."
Their initial product, AtticusAI, is designed specifically for Federal defence attorneys, providing them with powerful tools to enhance their defence strategies.
In parallel, the team is developing a corporate documentation product aimed at capital firms and start-up founders, making legal agreements more accessible to small-business founders, and broadening their impact and reach.
The journey hasn't been without its hurdles.
The current funding environment poses a significant challenge, as securing investment for pre-revenue ideas is particularly tough.
"This climate has necessitated that we bootstrap our way to the Alpha stage," Ali explains. "Given the critical nature of attorneys' roles, they require a polished product with minimal flaws, making it impossible to market a basic MVP."
Out of necessity, JuristAI is currently bootstrapped. Their strategy is to seek funding once they have launched the Alpha versions of their initial SaaS suites. "We want to ensure we present a robust, tested product to potential investors," Ali notes.
In the short term, JuristAI aims to launch ten legal SaaS products within the next 24 months, each addressing different areas of law and acquiring 1,000 customers per product.
Their long-term vision is nothing short of transformative: "We aim to reshape the landscape of American law, democratising access and ensuring that the legal system serves the people, not the other way around," says Ali.
By leveraging technology, JuristAI is poised to make a significant impact on the justice system, driving towards a future where fairness and accessibility are at the forefront. Join Ali and the JuristAI team on this journey to make justice truly just.
