Lianhe Zaobao, 向善编程马拉松”落幕 创新方案解决社会痛点

(Translated summary)

SUTD graduate Kiran Mohan and his team developed Lawify, an AI legal assistant designed to make legal information more accessible and reduce reliance on costly or time-consuming lawyer consultations. In pilot tests, nearly 100 users reported 90% satisfaction, with around 42% of cases resolved without human intervention.

The tool focuses on providing understandable, actionable guidance while ensuring user data is not stored or used for AI training. Lawify is set to expand to employment disputes, harassment, medical bills, property, and consumer cases, and will collaborate with community legal centres.
