LawDroid to Build First Voice-Activated US Legal Aid Bot

Tom Martin, the founder of legal bot maker, LawDroid, has been awarded a contract to build a voice-activated legal aid bot in the US in a major'real world' test of the technology and its access to justice (A2J) capabilities. Martin told Artificial Lawyer that it will be the first chat bot/legal bot funded by the Legal Services Corporation's Technology Initiative Grant Program. In this case, the bot will be used on the HELP4TN web portal created by the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services (TALS) in partnership with West Tennessee Legal Services. LawDroid beat out four other bot developers to win the mandate. The bot will operate off Martin's'Larissa' voice-activated bot platform, which Artificial Lawyer profiled last month.
