Practical software and published methods for legal research, analysis, and communication.
Legal work depends on choices about information: what is collected, where it is processed, who can receive it, and what remains on record. AI Lex develops tools and methods with those choices in view.
Privacy, professional confidentiality, privilege, and discoverability raise different questions. Local processing, limited retention, and controls on disclosure can support a lawyer's work. They do not, by themselves, establish privilege or put a record beyond discovery. A useful tool makes its processing, storage, and external connections clear enough to assess.

View VoxFlowBuilt for legal work specifically, and built from the authorities that govern it. What a tool may honestly claim about privilege, confidentiality, or verification is a question of doctrine and professional responsibility, not engineering ambition. Those limits are worked out from the sources first, and each tool ships with its source, its data boundary, and a plain statement of what it does not do.
Verification
Checks the citations in a legal document against primary sources and reports what it could not confirm. It does not certify that an authority is good law.
Research
Research built on freely available public sources, with explicit control over what leaves the machine. Free describes the source access, not a privacy guarantee.
Intake
Reads incoming legal correspondence and proposes matter and urgency labels. Nothing is routed until a person confirms it.
Argument testing
Builds the strongest argument on each side of a question and then attacks both, reporting where each position is weak. It does not predict outcomes.
Disclosure
Inspects a document before it leaves your machine, proposes redactions for a person to approve, and records what was checked and how. Detection is not a determination of privilege or confidentiality, and review is not a substitute for judgment.
