The idea for Leya came about when our lawyer friends voiced their dissatisfaction about having to read through hundreds of pages just to answer a simple legal query. We believe that lawyers shouldn't be drowning in paperwork, but should instead use technology to focus on higher-value tasks.

That's why we're turning the raw power of AI into something useful and enjoyable for lawyers, building the future of legal work starting with an honest AI assistant.

Our team includes hackers, deep learning researchers, front-end wizards, and product designers, all with exceptional enthusiasm for what we are building. We currently have offices in Stockholm and Kraków, but we’re also open to remote work.

Some of our obsessions are:

• How can we create a legal AI assistant that can effectively answer any legal question, just like an experienced lawyer?
• How can we make interacting with AI intuitive while maintaining the workflow that lawyers have perfected over centuries?
• How can we uncover and harness the magic inherent in AI? This is built and delivered with love, coffee, NextJS + Postgres + Weaviate + Azure OpenAI + self written logic for load balancing OpenAI calls, agent tools, etc!
