The hardest part of a legal dispute isn't the law, it's the fog
Picture this: Something goes wrong. Maybe your landlord won't return your deposit. Maybe a contractor disappeared halfway through a job. Maybe someone owes you money and won't pay.
You're not trying to become a lawyer. You just want answers to basic questions:
What actually happened here?
Do I have a case, or am I overreacting?
What proof do I already have?
Is this worth paying a lawyer for?
The problem isn't that you can't find information. It's that everything feels like a mess — scattered emails, half-remembered conversations, documents you're not sure matter.
Why most legal AI doesn't help
Most tools today do two things:
Give you confident-sounding answers (that may or may not apply to you)
Scan your documents and spit out text
But you're still stuck with:
No clear story of what happened
No way to see how the pieces connect
No idea what you're missing
You get answers, but you still feel lost.
What I built instead
I'm working on ClariCase because I kept seeing the same pattern: people don't need more information, they need clarity.
So instead of just answering questions, ClariCase helps you see your situation:
Plain-English summaries of what happened, what matters, and what's unclear
Visual mind maps showing how people, events, and evidence connect
Guided conversations that stay grounded in your actual case
Document analysis that respects privacy
The goal isn't to replace lawyers. It's to help you walk into that conversation with your head clear instead of spinning.

Where things stand
The product works. People can upload docs, chat with it, get structured breakdowns. The foundation is intentionally flexible — there's room to add more views, workflows, and tools as we learn.
Why I'm here
I'm a solo builder based outside the US. I can handle product, engineering, and iteration all day.
What I can't do well from where I am: US market positioning, partnerships, go-to-market, the operational side of growth.
I'm looking for a US-based co-founder who wants to own that side, not as a helper, but as a real partner. Someone who'd take majority or full ownership, structure it cleanly, and run with it. I'd stay focused on building.
I'd love your take
Have you been in this situation? That foggy moment where you're not sure if you even have a legal issue?
Do you think seeing your case visually (summaries, maps) actually helps, or is that just surface-level polish?
If you've built in legal tech or any regulated space, what would you poke holes in here?
I'm here to learn as much as share. Thanks for reading.
