Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. uwakili is software for legal professionals. Research memos and drafts are starting points; the advocate on record remains responsible for everything filed.
Where do the AI answers come from?
Bundle answers are grounded only in the documents you upload to that matter, with page citations. Research answers are grounded in an indexed Kenyan corpus: the Constitution 2010, the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21), the Employment Act 2007 and landmark decisions.
Can another firm see my files?
Never. Every document and search is isolated to your firm (tenant), and your matters are not used to train any model.
Which documents can I upload?
PDF bundles: plaints, defences, affidavits, rulings and evidence. Text is extracted page by page so citations point to the right place.
Do my paralegals and clients get accounts?
Yes. Roles cover admins, advocates, paralegals and clients, each with scoped access to the firm workspace.
How do court reminders work?
Diary entries within 24 hours of a hearing, mention or filing deadline trigger email/WhatsApp reminders, with a one-click join button for virtual courts.
