IndiaLawAI: AI-Powered Legal Compliance Scoring

A sophisticated legal tech platform designed to demystify Indian law for freelancers, SMBs, and legal professionals.

Built for Gen AI Hackathon 2025 by Google Cloud & Hack2Skill

IndiaLawAI leverages multi-modal generative AI to score documents for compliance, identify risks in multiple languages, and provide actionable insights, turning complex legal jargon into clear, measurable data.

This tool moves beyond simple analysis by introducing the "IndiaLaw Score," a proprietary metric that quantifies a document's compliance with Indian regulations.

🎯 Key Features

AI-Powered Compliance Scoring: Instead of a simple pass/fail, IndiaLawAI generates a quantifiable IndiaLaw Score (0-100), with a detailed breakdown across key legal categories like Labor Law, GST, and Contractual Obligations. This allows users to track compliance improvements over time.
Intelligent Multilingual Document Analysis:
- Seamless Translation: The app supports English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and Marathi end-to-end. Users can upload documents and receive analysis in their native language.
- Advanced OCR: Utilizes Google Gemini AI for high-accuracy text extraction from complex documents, including scanned PDFs and images in multiple languages.
Interactive Q&A: Engage in a natural language conversation with your legal documents. Ask specific questions ("What is the notice period required by this contract?") and receive precise, AI-powered answers with references to the relevant clauses.
Smart Multilingual Responses: Ask questions in any supported language and receive answers in the same language, keeping legal terminology intact.
Real-time Risk Translation: Instantly translate compliance risks and recommendations based on selected language while preserving legal citations.
Export & Reporting:
- Download comprehensive multilingual PDF reports
- Email reports via secure backend service
- Professional analysis exports with citations
Secure User Authentication: Full authentication system powered by Firebase Auth, supporting both Google Sign-In and traditional email/password, ensuring user data and analysis history are secure.
Persistent Data Storage: All documents and analyses are securely stored in Cloud Firestore with real-time synchronization across devices.
Responsive Design: Fully responsive mobile-first interface that works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

Make sure you created a .env file from env.example
Fill in all required environment variables
Restart the development server
Hard refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)

Port Already in Use

If port 5173 is already in use, update vite.config.ts:

server: {
  port: 3000, // Change to any available port
}

Email Server Issues

If email sending fails:

Make sure email server is running: npm run email-server
Check port 3001 is available
Verify Gmail credentials in server/email-service.cjs
The app will fall back to mailto if server is unavailable

Firestore Connection Issues

Verify Firebase project configuration in .env
Check Firestore database is created
Ensure Firestore security rules allow authenticated access:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /documents/{document} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == resource.data.userId;
    }
  }
}

Build Errors

If you encounter TypeScript errors:

npm run build

Check the error messages and ensure all files are in the src/ directory.
