• OpenAI-Powered Research: Uses GPT-4 for natural language legal queries, understanding complex legal questions.
• UK Legal API Integration: Accesses legislation.gov.uk and caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk for authoritative data.
• RAG Pipeline: Provides context-aware responses with source citations for accuracy and verifiability.
• Mandatory Disclaimer: Ensures all AI responses include a clear "information, not legal advice" disclaimer for user safety.
• Use Case: When a user asks a complex legal question, Claude queries UK legal databases, synthesizes information using OpenAI, and provides a cited, context-aware answer with the required legal disclaimer, saving hours of manual research.
