Frequently Asked Questions

PolicyGPT offers distinct advantages over general AI assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini for legal document analysis:

• Specialized Legal Focus: Our tool is specifically designed for legal document analysis, providing accurate and detailed insights tailored to legal language and concepts.
• Comprehensive Analysis: We provide structured breakdowns including pros/cons, stakeholder impacts, sentiment scores, and controversy ratings.
• Legal Expertise: Unlike general AI models, PolicyGPT understands legal nuances, document structures, and the implications of legal language.
• Multi-Format Support: Analyze PDFs, Word documents, images, and text with advanced OCR capabilities for scanned documents.

General AI assistants lack the specialized training and structured output that legal professionals and citizens need for understanding complex legal documents.

PolicyGPT is perfect for anyone who needs to understand legal documents quickly and accurately:

Whether you're dealing with divorce papers, court filings, contracts, or legislation, PolicyGPT saves time and ensures you understand the implications without getting lost in complex legal language.

PolicyGPT supports a wide range of legal documents and formats:

Our advanced OCR technology can extract text from scanned documents and images, making even older or printed legal documents accessible for analysis.

We take document security and privacy very seriously:

• Secure Processing: All documents are processed using encrypted connections (HTTPS)
• Temporary Storage: Uploaded files are temporarily stored only during analysis and then automatically deleted
• No Permanent Storage: We don't permanently store your original documents on our servers
• User Control: Analysis results are only saved if you choose to save them to your account
• Privacy Options: You control whether your analyses are private or can be shared publicly
• Data Minimization: We only process the text content necessary for analysis

Processing time depends on document complexity, size, and current server load. For very large documents, consider breaking them into sections or using our batch processing feature.
