About PolicyGPT

We're on a mission to make legal documents accessible to everyone

Our Story

PolicyGPT was born from a simple observation: legal documents including divorce papers, court filings, contracts, legislation, and policies are often complex, filled with legal jargon, and difficult for the average person to understand. This creates a barrier between citizens and the legal documents that affect their lives.

Founded in 2024 by Lazizbek Salimov and Daniel Noah, we set out to develop a solution that makes all types of legal documents more accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform breaks down complex legal documents into simple, understandable analyses that highlight key points, benefits, concerns, and stakeholder impacts.

What started as a hackathon project quickly evolved into a comprehensive tool used by individuals navigating divorce proceedings, small business owners reviewing contracts, students studying law, educators, journalists, and everyday citizens trying to understand legal documents that affect their lives.

Today, PolicyGPT continues to innovate in the intersection of artificial intelligence and legal technology, working to make legal documents accessible to everyone - whether it's understanding divorce papers, analyzing contracts, or staying informed about legislative changes.

Our Mission

To democratize understanding of legal documents through accessible, AI-powered analysis.

We believe that informed citizens are empowered citizens. By providing easy-to-understand analyses of complex legal documents, we aim to:

  • Increase civic engagement and participation
  • Promote transparency in governance
  • Enable more informed public discourse
  • Make legal information accessible to all, regardless of legal expertise
