What is LawY?

LawY is your trusted AI legal research assistant designed specifically for lawyers and legal professionals with a unique lawyer-in-the-loop approach. Unlike generic AI tools, LawY combines AI with human expertise for greater accuracy and relevance, generating responses from a purpose-built legal knowledge base with the option to get answers verified by qualified lawyers.

How does LawY provides answers?

Instant AI-Answers

LawY provides fast and reliable answers to legal questions delivered in seconds or up to a minute. Perfect for clarifying legal concepts, exploring issues, or getting quick input while you work. You can ask legal questions in plain language and receive answers tailored to your jurisdiction and matter type with linked citations, all backed by expert verification.

Deep Research

For comprehensive analysis of complex legal questions, LawY’s Deep Research feature provides a more thorough investigation that takes 15-30 minutes, with the option to have answers verified by an exclusive panel of experienced, local lawyers.

All answers are specific to your matter type and jurisdiction and usually include linked citations.

‍

Built on trust and privacy

Smokeball is dedicated to ensuring your data and information is safe and secure. LawY's proprietary knowledge base comprises AI-answers verified by lawyers, encompassing references to relevant case law and legislation. This verified foundation strengthens every answer you receive, giving you confidence in your research.

When you use LawY through Smokeball, your research stays private. Your conversations aren’t used to train AI models, and verification is always optional. If you choose to verify an answer, only the rephrased legal question, the AI answer, and selected matter facts will be visible to the verifier. Note that the verifier will not see your full conversation or your name as personal information is automatically removed to protect client confidentiality.
