built
almost all of it is legal software, because that is the problem i keep being in the room for. one of them is a sweet. i am willing to stand next to every entry, which is why the list is not longer.

telangana high court, invite only
a privacy first case management platform for solo and small firm advocates. reliable cnr sync, a morning digest of what actually moved in your matters, and nothing about a client leaving the country. i am the only person building it, which shows in the good ways and the bad ones.

1.6 crore judgments, 1950 to 2025
a search layer over sixteen million indian judgments, running on hardware i own. renting search for a corpus this size gets expensive faster than you would think, and the latency you can buy back by being close to the disk is worth the trouble of owning the disk.
meilisearch, next.js, self hosted
ctrlpluslaw, ongoing
the blog. ai, data protection, and indian legal tech, written in lowercase because the subject matter is stiff enough on its own.
writing, next.js
vigil, 2026
a regulatory intelligence scraper for supreme court and high court judgments. it does the boring half of staying current so that the interesting half has somewhere to start.
python, scraping, regulatory
judge inclination classifier, 2026
about 99% cheaper to backfill
three tiers for information technology act cases. regex first, gemini flash for the middle, claude haiku only for the genuinely hard remainder. the accuracy held and the bill collapsed, which is the entire trick.
classification, cost, evaluation
document automation, quietly, 2026
internal workflows in copilot studio and power automate, plus a submissions pipeline for the legal directories. unglamorous plumbing that gives people back an afternoon a week.
power automate, internal tools
loks.sh, 2026
this website. i wanted a page that still had fingerprints on it: lowercase, a little rude, and unwilling to look like a template that got a name injected into it.

a gi tag for atreyapuram putharekulu, earlier
not software. a geographical indication filing for a paper thin sweet from my part of andhra, which meant sitting between the artisan families who make it and the authorities who register it. still the best thing on this list.
gi, andhra, not software
kavach, earlier
a hallucination detector for legal ai, built with two engineering friends. it hunts for citations that do not exist, because that is the failure mode that actually gets people in front of a bench explaining themselves.
ai safety, citations
regwatch india, earlier
a free tier aggregator for rbi, sebi and mca updates. no funding, no moat, no plan. it should have existed and it did not, so it does now.
scraping, free tier
nyayasetu, earlier
an ai legal research platform for the indian market. an earlier answer to a question i am evidently still asking.
research, earlier
ecourts-scraper, 2024
a small python library for fetching indian court records by cnr number. unglamorous on purpose. the useful things usually are.
