?Why not just ask ChatGPT to summarise the case?
Ask a generic AI to "summarise this judgment" and you get a different shape every time — sometimes it skips the ratio, sometimes it invents a citation that isn't in the text. RatioBrief returns the same 8-section structure every single time — the one professors and moot judges actually expect, not whatever a chatbot felt like writing that day.
?How do I know it isn't making things up?
It's a hard rule we build into every brief, not a hope: if a fact, a dissent, or a precedent isn't actually present in the judgment you give it, RatioBrief says "Not stated in source" instead of guessing. Generic AI tools are optimised to always sound confident. We'd rather be right.
?Why is it cheaper than other legal AI tools?
Most legal AI products are built as a full toolkit for law firms and senior advocates — research, drafting, case management, the works — priced for that. RatioBrief does one thing well: exam-ready briefs, fast. We price it for the people who actually need that one thing — students and junior associates, not firms with a budget line for software.
?Is this legal advice?
No. RatioBrief is a study aid. It's built to help you read faster and prepare better — for an exam, a moot, or your own case notes. Always verify against the original judgment before relying on anything for actual professional work.
?Does it handle really long judgments?
Yes — Constitution Bench judgments running 200, 300+ pages go through the same way a 10-page order does. No splitting it into chunks yourself, no copy-pasting half a judgment because the AI couldn't handle the rest.
?Is this only for law students?
No — built for the wider world of Indian law: students, moot court teams, judiciary aspirants prepping for exams, and junior associates who need a fast first read before a hearing.
?What can't it do (yet)?
Scanned, image-only PDFs aren't supported yet — it needs text-searchable PDFs, which covers almost everything from IndianKanoon, SCC Online, and Manupatra. And it doesn't do open-ended legal research from memory — it works from the text you give it, on purpose, for the accuracy reasons above.
