From $8,000, fixed price, live in about four weeks. We build two things small firms ask for most: an assistant trained on your firm's own documents (templates, past matters, policies) that answers in plain English and cites the exact document every time, and automated intake that captures every inquiry, asks the screening questions you set, and books consultations. You own all of the code. Free quote within 24 hours.

Where small firms lose hours

  • Intake. Calls and web inquiries after hours go unanswered, and the next morning someone types the details into the case system by hand.
  • Finding the precedent. A paralegal searches shared drives for the clause, the template or the letter the firm already wrote last year.
  • Follow-ups. Document requests and reminders to clients are sent one email at a time.

What you get

  • A document assistant with citations. Ask a question, get an answer drawn only from your documents, with a link to the source. If the answer isn't in your files, it says so.
  • Intake that runs at 2am. A form, chat or voice line that collects the facts you need, flags conflicts for review and offers consultation times.
  • Automatic follow-ups. Missing-document reminders and status updates sent on a schedule you control.
  • Your infrastructure, your code. It can run on your own cloud account. Nothing is locked to a subscription.

What we have built before

We built a voice-first platform where clinicians talk with patients and the consultation notes write themselves from the conversation. The same pieces, speech-to-text, structured extraction and an assistant that answers from a defined set of records, are what a law firm's intake line and document assistant are made of. See document assistant development for how these are built.

Why not a legal AI subscription?

Legal AI is mostly sold per seat, per month, and works on the vendor's servers with the vendor's rules. A fixed-price build is a one-time cost, answers only from your own documents, runs where you decide, and keeps working if you stop talking to us. Compare the options in agency vs freelancer vs in-house, or estimate what the manual work costs you with the cost calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

An assistant on your firm's documents takes about four weeks. Intake and follow-up automation takes three to six weeks. Scope and price are agreed before work starts.

What does it cost?

From $8,000 for a document assistant and from $6,000 for intake automation, fixed price, agreed before work starts. No hourly billing.

Where does our client data live?

It can run entirely on your own cloud account or servers, so documents never sit on a vendor's platform. Every answer cites the document it came from, so a lawyer can check it.

Who owns the code?

You do. 100% of the source and IP transfers on delivery, with documentation and a deployment runbook. No license and no lock-in.

Will I work with the person building it?

Yes. Kortex Labs is founder-led by Saif Ur Rehman, a senior Python engineer with 5+ years building AI products. No account-manager layer.
