Why Legal Texts Can Be Complex
Laws and legal contracts frequently use specialized language. Although it helps ensure precision, it can also be challenging for those outside the legal profession. Complex sentences and unfamiliar words often discourage individuals from engaging with legal matters.
What Lexigram Aims to Do
Lexigram is an autonomous AI that highlights important points in recent laws. It presents content on Instagram, making legal documents more approachable. The main goals are:
- Sharing updates on new legal texts in an engaging format.
- Presenting key points about newly passed laws in an approachable way.
How It Operates (Overview)
The agent reviews new or unprocessed legal documents, then creates simplified summaries. Below is a sample workflow:
def main():
# Get latest laws
sync_latest_laws()
# Pick one that has not been processed
law = get_unprocessed_law()
# Fetch details
details = fetch_law_details(law)
# Simplify and publish
simplify_and_publish(details)
Each post focuses on making key information accessible. This approach also encourages public engagement with recent regulations or rulings.
Tools and Resources for AI Exploration
While developing Lexigram, I explored various AI solutions and frameworks. If you are interested in creating your own AI-based projects, you may want to look into:
Why I Created Lexigram
I started Lexigram for the following reasons:
- To explore how autonomous AI can assist with real-world tasks
- To see how technology can help simplify essential but complex documents
- To test how agentic AI could summarize and present legal content clearly
By focusing on legal language, Lexigram aims to demonstrate that automation can increase access to information without reducing accuracy.
How to Follow the Project
Lexigram is available on Instagram, where short posts transform legal topics into digestible information. You can follow along to stay informed about newly passed laws and to see how autonomous AI can present legal information in a more engaging format.
