⚙️ Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Groq API key
• Git

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/danieladdisonorg/AI-Lawyer---RAG-with-DeepSeek-R1.git

cd AI-Lawyer---RAG-with-DeepSeek-R1

2️⃣ Set Up Virtual Environment

On macOS/Linux:

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

On Windows:

python -m venv venv

venv\Scripts\activate

3️⃣ Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4️⃣ Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

echo "GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here" > .env

Or set it as an environment variable:

export GROQ_API_KEY="your_groq_api_key_here"

🚀 Usage

Running Locally

1. Start the application:

streamlit run frontend.py

2. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8501

3. Upload a legal document (PDF format)

4. Ask questions about the document using natural language

5. Download reports generated by the AI analysis

Example Queries

• "What are the key terms and conditions in this contract?"
• "Summarize the main legal obligations for each party"
• "What are the potential risks mentioned in this document?"
• "Explain the termination clauses in simple terms"

📜 How It Works

1. Document Processing

• Upload: User uploads PDF legal documents
• Extraction: Text is extracted using pdfplumber
• Chunking: Documents are split into manageable sections

2. Vector Database Creation

• Embedding: Text chunks are converted to vector embeddings
• Indexing: FAISS creates searchable vector index
• Storage: Vectors are stored for efficient retrieval

3. Query Processing

• User Input: Legal questions are received via Streamlit interface
• Retrieval: Relevant document sections are found using vector similarity
• Context: Retrieved information provides context for AI response

4. AI Response Generation

• DeepSeek R1: Advanced reasoning model processes query and context
• Groq API: High-speed inference for real-time responses
• Structured Output: Responses are formatted for legal clarity

5. Report Generation

• Analysis: AI generates comprehensive document analysis
• Formatting: Results are structured in professional format
• Download: Users can download PDF reports

🔑 API Configuration

Groq API Setup

1. Get API Key: Visit Groq Console and create an account
2. Generate Key: Create a new API key in your dashboard
3. Configure: Add the key to your environment variables or .env file
