Why it asks which country you're in
The same question — "can my landlord keep my deposit?" — has different answers in California, London, Sydney and Shanghai. A tool that gives one global answer is usually giving you the wrong one. AILawyer reasons across six jurisdictions and always tells you which one it's using, so you can trust that the rules actually fit your situation.
What it's good at
- Explaining what a legal situation means in plain language.
- Outlining the types of steps and documents to verify with the current official source.
- Helping you prepare before you talk to a real lawyer or an official body.
- Pointing you to the right guide when there's one that fits.
What it isn't
It's an experimental information tool — not a lawyer, and not a substitute for one. It doesn't file anything for you, can't represent you, and shouldn't be relied on for high-stakes or urgent matters. Every answer carries a disclaimer for exactly this reason.
Your privacy
There's nothing to sign up for. The assistant doesn't ask for your name, email or other details to answer you, and there are no forms designed to capture them. Please avoid pasting sensitive identifiers — you don't need them to get a useful starting point. See our privacy note for the specifics.
That's the whole idea — ask a question and see for yourself.
