Workflow

A modular AI-powered workflow that automates legal document intake, OCR, document intelligence, translation, glossary generation, review package creation, and workflow orchestration — while preserving human oversight.

Business Problem

The Challenge

Legal translation providers spend significant time on repetitive administrative work before any expert linguistic effort begins.

  • Intake
    Manual routing of new client submissions.
  • File Organization
    Ad-hoc folder structures per matter.
  • Language Detection
    Human triage of unknown source languages.
  • Document Classification
    Sorting contracts, filings and correspondence by hand.
  • OCR
    Running scans through separate tools.
  • Glossary Creation
    Rebuilding terminology per project.
  • Review Packet Assembly
    Bundling artefacts by hand for reviewers.
  • Job Tracking
    Status updates scattered across email and spreadsheets.
Key Features

What the Workflow Ships With

Lovable Client Portal

Branded intake surface for end clients.

Engineering Decisions

Design Decisions

The trade-offs behind the architecture.

Each stage is an independently deployable node. Swap an OCR provider, upgrade a translation prompt, or add a new classifier without touching the rest of the pipeline.

About This Project

The intent behind the MVP

This project was developed as an MVP demonstrating reusable AI workflow architecture rather than a production deployment. It prioritises modular design, privacy-first engineering, human-centered AI, scalable automation, and maintainable architecture — the qualities that make an AI system trustworthy inside a real professional workflow.
