Project Description
Microsoft AI Agent Competition Submission
Legal Auditor Agent is an enterprise-grade AI system that transforms legal document analysis from a time-consuming manual process into an intelligent, automated workflow. Built with Google Gemini AI, it delivers mission-critical accuracy for law firms, corporate legal departments, and regulated industries.
🎯 The Problem We Solve
Legal professionals spend 60-80% of their time on document review:
- Manual entity extraction from contracts
- Compliance checking across hundreds of pages
- Risk assessment requiring deep legal expertise
- Multi-document analysis for due diligence
- Cost: $200-500 per document in billable hours
💡 Our Innovation
Legal Auditor Agent uses advanced AI to:
- ✅ Extract 10 legal-specific entity types with 95%+ accuracy
- ✅ Analyze compliance and assess risk automatically
- ✅ Process documents in <30 seconds vs. hours manually
- ✅ Provide complete audit trails for regulatory compliance
- ✅ Support multi-document portfolio analysis
- ✅ Save $150-400 per document in legal costs

Challenges & Learnings
Key Challenges & Learnings
-
API Key Security Issue
Challenge: Original Gemini API key was leaked and disabled
Learning: Never commit API keys to repositories; always use environment variables
Solution: Generated new key, updated .env, documented security practices -
Gemini API Model Compatibility
Challenge: Used wrong model name (gemini-1.5-flash → 404 errors)
Learning: Always verify available models with the provider
Solution: Updated to gemini-2.5-flash using v1beta API -
Hybrid Extraction Failure
Challenge: Mixing regex + AI caused entities to be lost
Learning: AI-only approach is simpler and more reliable than hybrid
Solution: Switched to pure Gemini AI for all entity types -
Data Consistency Issues
Challenge: Summary shows 14 entities, UI shows 7 (different data sources)
Learning: Always use single source of truth
Solution: Added entity breakdown, improved logging -
Enhanced Display Implementation
Achievement: Added detailed entity breakdown (e.g., "47 entities: 12 parties, 8 dates, 15 amounts")
Status: Implemented in both backend and frontend
