The Kenyan judicial landscape is changing. Since 2020, driven by the upheavals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has accelerated its transition to digital.
One innovation in particular is attracting attention: Lawlyfy AI, an intelligent legal assistant designed in Nairobi to support legal professionals and facilitate access to justice.
At the head of the project, Sure Antony, founder of Lawlyfy AI, is convinced:
"AI becomes a co-pilot for lawyers. It will transform the way we practice law. "
The assistant developed by its team allows you to carry out targeted legal research, draft documents and access legal texts in seconds. The tool stands out for its local roots: it is specifically trained on Kenyan jurisdiction, guaranteeing precise, contextualized and legally founded responses.
"It’s like having an extremely competent colleague just a click away", summarizes Antony. "You ask him a question and, in thirty seconds, you get a relevant answer, consistent with Kenyan law. "
To ensure the quality and timeliness of content, Lawlyfy AI relies on public data from the National Council for Law Reporting, a key institution in the publication of the country's laws and court decisions.
Amos Wanene, chief engineer of the project, details the process: "We collect the available data —case law, bills, promulgated texts, Official Gazette — and classify them according to their nature. This makes it possible to offer a rapid, reliable and structured response. ⁇
At the same time, Kenyan law firms are increasingly turning to digital solutions to streamline their operations, while respecting confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Lawlyfy AI thus establishes itself as a strategic tool in a rapidly modernizing justice system. More than just software, it embodies a vision: that of justice that is more accessible, faster and closer to local realities.
