Inspiration

Privacy policies are opaque legal documents that most users ignore. I saw an opportunity to leverage browser-based AI to decode these complex texts, making data handling practices transparent and accessible to everyone.

What it does

Legal AI analyzes privacy policies in real-time, providing risk assessments across key privacy dimensions. The extension breaks down complex policies into clear explanations and concrete findings, displayed in an intuitive side panel.

How we built it

  • Chrome Extensions Manifest V3 framework
  • Gemini Nano for local AI processing
  • GPT Tokenizer for efficient text chunking
  • Preact for lightweight UI components
  • Radix for accessibility-first components
  • Tailwind CSS for robust styling

Challenges we ran into

  • Optimizing Gemini Nano for browser performance
  • Cleaning webpage text extraction from diverse structures
  • Crafting effective prompts for concise yet thorough analysis
  • Managing token limits through parallel chunk processing

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a completely local, privacy-respecting analyzer
  • Achieved reliable risk assessments with small LLM
  • Created an accessible, user-friendly interface
  • Maintained speed while processing large documents

What we learned

  • Modern Chrome Extension architecture
  • Privacy-centric application design
  • Legal document parsing techniques
  • Small LLM optimization for complex analysis

What's next for Legal AI

  • Multi-language support
  • User-defined risk thresholds
  • Policy comparison tools
  • AI-powered policy search and explanation
