Is the AI legal guidance really free?

Signing up is free, and you get a free starter balance included — enough for several document-less questions. After that, you see the price before every further question, just like inside the chat itself.

How is this different from a general AI chat?

Our AI quotes from its own legal library of statutes and decisions instead of from the training knowledge of a general language model, and calculates deadlines and costs with fixed rules instead of estimating them. The answer remains a first assessment, not legal advice.

Does this replace a lawyer?

No. The AI answer is a first assessment, not legal advice in the legal sense. If needed, you pass your documents on to a lawyer of your choice.

What happens to my data?

Your requests are processed encrypted and are not used to train third-party AI models. See our privacy policy and AI transparency page for details.

Can I ask a lawyer online here?

No. Smart Legal Pro is not a lawyer directory or an online legal advice service: you get an AI-assisted first assessment of your legal question, which does not replace legal advice. If you need binding advice, you can export your documents and pass them to a lawyer of your choice.

What this chat does differently

Four things that matter when you have a legal question.

Cited sources, not guesswork

Answers draw on our own, continuously updated legal library — with a source link to the statute or ruling, not on what a general-purpose language model believes it knows.

Deadlines, never estimated

The built-in deadline calculator computes under §§ 187, 188, 193 BGB — deterministically, not by “feel” like a chat model.

Costs in view instantly

A statutory-fee calculator right inside the conversation: lawyer and court fees plus cost risk, computed live from the amount in dispute.

Remembers what matters

On request, the AI remembers durable, general information across conversations — always visible and deletable at any time.

Background

Asking a legal question without uploading anything

Most legal questions do not start with a document but with a sentence: a letter is lying on the table, a deadline is looming, and the first question is simply how serious the situation is. The chat is built for exactly that moment — you describe your matter in your own words, without scanning anything first.

The difference to a general-purpose chatbot lies in where the answer comes from. Citations are checked against our own legal library, deadlines are not estimated but calculated under §§ 187, 188 and 193 BGB, and costs are determined from the statutory RVG and GKG fee tables. Where something cannot be substantiated, the answer says so — instead of inventing a plausible-sounding source.

And where software reaches its limits, the path does not end: you can hand your matter over to a verified lawyer with a single click. Nothing you worked out in the chat is lost in the process.
