Investor opportunity · UbuntuLex

A private AI assistant built for law firms.

UbuntuLex helps firms turn messy emails and document bundles into clean timelines, summaries, and draft-ready work — while keeping sensitive data inside the firm.

We’re raising seed funding to roll out private legal AI across South Africa and beyond.

Our goal

An in-house AI co-counsel for law firms

UbuntuLex supports your team (it doesn’t replace it). It turns case material into timelines, summaries and drafts — while your data stays inside the firm and fully auditable.

How it works

A simple pipeline that starts with raw documents and ends with a matter-ready assistant.

Ingest Understand Organise Assist
Ingest

Step 1

Ingest

Pull everything into one secure matter workspace — email, documents, scans and shared drives.

Connect inboxes / DMS / uploads Auto-tag by matter Searchable from day one
Understand

Step 2

Understand

Convert documents into structured facts — and keep citations back to the source.

OCR + parsing Extract parties / dates / issues Link events across sources
Organise

Step 3

Organise

Present the matter clearly — timeline, issues list, key documents and notes.

Timeline view Issues with citations Pin what matters
Assist

Step 4

Assist

Draft, prep and sanity-check — grounded in your matter, not generic internet answers.

First-pass drafting Hearing/consult summaries Contradictions + gaps

Private by Design: Your data never trains our model.

UbuntuLex operates on a strict zero-retention policy. Unlike public AI, your confidential matter data is processed in isolated, ephemeral environments and wiped after each session, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

Infrastructure Roadmap

Phase 1 (Now)

Private On-Premise / Local Server

We deploy directly onto your firm's secure servers. Total air-gap capability for high-security matters.

Phase 2 (Next)

Secure Private Cloud

As trust scales, we offer dedicated single-tenant cloud instances for easier remote access without compromising privacy.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Generic AI is a library. UbuntuLex is your case file.

Feature Generic AI UbuntuLex
Data Privacy May train on your inputs Zero retention policy
Knowledge Base The entire internet (hallucinations) Only your uploaded case files
Citations Often made up or missing Click-to-source verification
Deployment Public Cloud only On-Premise or Private Cloud
