The legal tech world is crowded with tools promising to make legal work faster, smarter, and more scalable. Genie AI is one of the standout names in that space — an open-source platform that helps users generate and collaborate on legal documents. For solo lawyers and startups comfortable navigating contract templates and tweaking clauses, it’s a valuable and well-structured resource.

But not every business wants to sift through dozens of templates or guess at what’s “standard.” For many, the real question isn’t what to write — it’s what to do. That’s the gap WhatsLaw is built to fill.

What Genie AI Brings to the Table

Genie AI focuses on giving users access to a large library of legal templates and tools to customise them. It’s built for users who are:

• Comfortable working with legal documents

• Looking for free or low-cost access to generic templates

• Happy to edit and adapt content themselves, with minimal support

It’s a great fit for legally fluent users — especially businesses or lawyers who know roughly what they’re looking for but want to speed up drafting.

In short: Genie AI is about faster self-service for people already familiar with legal frameworks.

What WhatsLaw Is Building Instead

WhatsLaw starts from a different assumption: that most businesses don’t need a faster way to write legal documents — they need legal advice, delivered in a way that feels human, contextual, and specific to their needs.

We’re not building a template library. We’re building a lawyer that acts more like a law firm — one that:

• Understands what stage your business is at

• Reviews your contract like a lawyer would

• Flags risks and grey areas based on your position

• Recommends next steps, not just edits

When you use WhatsLaw, you're not just “generating” a contract — you’re understanding what’s really in it. You're getting a walk-through that feels like having a solicitor sitting across from you, saying: “Here's what matters. Here's what’s missing. Here's what I’d do if I were advising you.”

Our goal isn't to make legal work more DIY. It's to remove the need for DIY altogether — by offering legal insight, not just content.

Most legal tech assumes you want to become your own lawyer. We’re building a future where you don’t have to.
