Talk to a UK AI Legal Assistant in Real Time
Ask your question naturally by voice or by typing. Dogetlawyer runs its own legal-intelligence workflow around the AI models it uses: it works to the UK jurisdiction you choose, draws on a curated library of legal knowledge, sends the question to the assistant built for that area of law, and gives you a plain-English explanation with practical next steps. Choose England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland before you begin — laws, courts and official guidance differ between them. Dogetlawyer is a legal-technology platform, not a law firm or a solicitors' practice: it gives general legal information and document assistance, not regulated legal advice.
More than a chatbot: a legal workflow around the models
A general-purpose AI answers straight from your prompt. Dogetlawyer puts legal-technology layers around that. It holds a jurisdiction, keeps a curated library of legal knowledge assigned to each area of law, matches your question to the assistant built for it, and turns your speech into text you can correct before anything is sent. Technology providers supply the underlying speech and language models; Dogetlawyer owns the legal workflow, the knowledge library, the routing rules and everything you see. To be clear about what that does not mean: Dogetlawyer has not trained its own foundation model, and several models do not vote on what the law is.
What the system actually does today
Four layers are live and doing work on every question. We describe only those, and we say below what is not yet built.
1. Jurisdiction
Every UK legal assistant on the platform is set up for a named jurisdiction and is instructed to establish which one applies before giving a position that depends on it, and to say which one the answer is about. England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are treated as separate legal systems, and the Republic of Ireland as a different country.
2. Voice understanding
Your speech is converted to text. With push-to-talk you get that text in an editable box, with dates, amounts, long numbers and email addresses highlighted for checking, and nothing is sent until you choose to send it. In a live voice call the transcript builds on screen as you speak.
3. Legal knowledge retrieval
Assistants draw on a maintained internal library of UK legal knowledge documents, organised into subject sets and assigned to the relevant assistant, rather than relying on the model's memory alone.
4. Task routing
What you ask is matched against the platform's task catalogue and, where it clearly belongs elsewhere, you are offered the specialist assistant built for it — contract drafting, contract review, employment, tenancy and so on. You are offered the move and can decline; you are never redirected without being asked.
What is not built yet, stated plainly
There is no automated verification layer that cross-checks an answer for contradictions, validates every citation, or scores answers against a published accuracy benchmark. We do not display accuracy or confidence percentages, because we have no calibrated benchmark to justify a number. We do not claim to be always up to date: legal material changes, and important decisions need professional verification. We will describe these capabilities here when they exist and not before.
How a voice session works
Nothing listens until you press the button.
Choose your jurisdiction and start
Open the Accessibility panel in the AI Lawyer chat and press start. The first time, you are told what happens to your speech and asked to agree. Your browser then asks its own permission.
Speak naturally
In a live call there is no button to hold: the assistant works out when you have finished by a short silence, then answers out loud while the transcript builds on screen. With push-to-talk you press once to start and once to stop.
Hear a short answer first
Spoken replies lead with a brief plain-English summary — what was understood, the general position and the most useful next step — and you can ask for the detail, the documents to gather, or what would change the answer.
Keep the written record
Each exchange is saved as text in your normal conversation history, so you can read it back, copy it out or carry it into a document. No audio recording is kept.
Escalate when it matters
For anything high-stakes, treat the output as a starting point and take it to an appropriately qualified professional.
Honest limits
A live conversation behaves differently from typing. These trade-offs are real and worth knowing before you rely on it.
No review step in a live call
Push-to-talk shows you the text and lets you correct names, dates and amounts before anything is sent. A live call has no such step — what you say goes to the assistant as you say it. When precision matters, use push-to-talk.
It can take its turn too early
The call decides you have finished after a short silence. If you pause to think or need longer to speak, it may begin answering a half-finished sentence. You can talk over it to interrupt.
Speech recognition makes mistakes
Names, addresses, figures and unfamiliar terms are misheard. Read the transcript as it appears and correct anything wrong. If the audio is unclear the assistant is instructed to say so rather than guess.
Set up for English
Speech recognition is fixed to English, so speaking another language will transcribe wrongly. Type instead if you need to work in another language.
Paid feature, metered by time
Live voice conversation needs an active paid plan and is charged for the time you are connected, from your plan's voice allowance. It is not on the free plan and stops on a lapsed one. A separate daily limit also applies, shown as a countdown during the call.
Free on every account
Push-to-talk dictation, having replies read aloud, and typing are available on every account including the free plan, and remain available whenever live voice is not.
Your voice and your privacy
The microphone only ever starts when you press the control, a red indicator shows for the whole time it is live, and End, the Escape key or leaving the tab all stop it immediately. Your speech is sent to third-party speech and voice providers to be turned into text and spoken back — it is not processed in-house — and no audio recording is stored by Dogetlawyer. What is kept is the text of the conversation, in your own history. Please avoid saying names, addresses, reference numbers or confidential third-party details you do not need to share. Our privacy notice sets out purposes, recipients, retention and your rights, including how to object or ask for deletion.
Important: you are talking to software, not a solicitor
Dogetlawyer is a legal-technology platform and is not a law firm, chambers or solicitors' practice, and it is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Using it does not create a solicitor-client relationship, and the conversation should not be assumed to attract legal professional privilege. The service gives general legal information, document assistance and structured issue analysis; it does not carry out reserved legal activities. Do not rely on AI output alone for court deadlines, litigation, criminal matters, immigration status, conveyancing, probate, tax filings or other high-impact decisions — take those to an appropriately qualified professional.
