Our Timeline

Building Toward India's First
Dedicated Legal LLM

A step-by-step roadmap designed to solve legal research challenges for Indian advocates, incrementally building proprietary retrieval technology and reasoning models.

1
Months 0–6 (Current)Current Phase

AI Legal Research Assistant

Core workflow validation utilizing external LLM APIs and Indian Kanoon. Features include plain-text case understanding, extraction of legal issues, central Acts and sections, re-ranking of results, and dynamic judgment summaries.

Key Deliverables

  • Natural Language case input (paste facts / clean text)
  • Automated issue & Act extraction (Section 18 RERA, Sec 138 NI Act, etc.)
  • Indian Kanoon API integration for Supreme Court & High Courts
  • LLM-based judgment re-ranking & structured dashboard summaries
  • Personal search history & saved case bookmarks
2
Months 6–18Upcoming

Document Upload & OCR Pipeline

Transition to structured document uploads. Lawyers can drag and drop petitions, FIRs, complaints, and written statements directly into the assistant.

Key Deliverables

  • PDF, DOCX, and image file parsing
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned court documents
  • Legal document summarization & visual timeline extraction
  • Client folders & case organization structure
  • AI legal chat assistant for document interrogation

Months 18–36Upcoming

Proprietary Legal RAG System

Reducing dependence on commercial search portals by constructing a dedicated, high-speed semantic search system grounded in our own legal databases.

Key Deliverables

  • Judgment index pipeline & embedding generation models
  • Custom vector database for Indian case law semantic search
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) fine-tuned for Indian legal structures
  • Precedent gap analysis & conflict jurisdiction flags
4
Years 3–5Upcoming

Fine-tuned Indian Legal LLM

Moving past third-party API dependencies by training and open-sourcing our own proprietary Large Language Model optimized specifically for Indian legal reasoning.

Key Deliverables

  • Model training on Indian Constitution, central/state Acts, and 50+ years of judgments
  • Specialized reasoning sub-models (Summarization, Drafting, Citation, Q&A)
  • Localized GPU inference servers for strict on-premise deployments
  • Strict legal reasoning evaluations to eliminate hallucination

Beyond 5 YearsUpcoming

Complete Legal AI Ecosystem

Expanding LawAssist.ai into a full-scale ecosystem serving law firms, corporate legal teams, and developers across the country.

Key Deliverables

  • Multilingual support for major Indian regional languages
  • Predictive analytics (judgment outcome tendencies, judge reasoning patterns)
  • Developer APIs for custom practice integrations
  • Collaborative firm-wide workspaces & draft workflow automation
Long-Term Vision

Why incremental steps matter

Building custom legal AI models requires extensive evaluation, clean datasets, and advocate feedback. By delivering immediate value in Phase 1 via semantic case mapping and Kanool summaries, we validate advocate needs and fund proprietary vector database and inference infrastructure.
