About GPT Legal
Founded by Gilberto Objio, GPT Legal is an AI-powered legal platform that specializes in the Dominican Republic’s legal framework. Mr. Objio is a legal expert with a background in civil, criminal, and medical malpractice law, and has been involved in high-profile cases at the Constitutional Court, Superior Administrative Court, and international arbitration litigation. He holds a Law Degree and a Master ‘s Degree in Civil Procedure from Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra.
Mr. Objio’s vision for GPT Legal was to leverage cutting-edge AI and natural language processing to break down barriers in access to legal services. Aware of public skepticism toward AI in his home country, he set out to build a tool that would earn trust through precision, transparency, and relevance to the Dominican legal context.
Challenge
GPT Legal set out to solve multiple challenges within the Dominican legal industry:
- Localization: Adapt a Large Language Model (LLM) to fully comprehend and interpret Dominican legal terminology, statutes, and procedures.
- Accuracy: Avoid hallucinations, which could compromise trust or lead to serious legal risks.
- Accessibility: Make legal information widely available to the public, in a user-friendly and affordable format.
- Skepticism: Overcome regional skepticism surrounding AI, especially in sensitive domains like legal consulting.
- Efficiency: Provide responses quickly enough to be useful in real-world legal workflows.
To meet these goals, Mr. Objio needed a powerful platform that could integrate a vast amount of legal data, deliver consistent performance, and be embedded securely on the web.
“CustomGPT has been a pivotal tool in the success of GPTLEGAL.com.do, revolutionizing legal services through the integration of cutting-edge artificial intelligence and natural language processing technologies. Initially constrained by technological limitations, GPTLEGAL has evolved to offer immediate and efficient access to crucial legal information.”
“Looking ahead, we aim to expand our legal knowledge database and encourage collaborative efforts across projects, thereby enhancing the precision and depth of our responses. Additionally, CUSTOMGPT significantly lowers both costs and barriers to implementation.”
