How SquareShift delivered it.

01

The challenge

Supreme Court decisions arrived as dense PDFs, and legal analysts needed the gist fast, not a full read-through every time. The client also lacked in-house AI and AWS expertise to build and run that kind of system securely.

02

What we delivered: judgment summaries as audio on AWS

SquareShift built an AI document summarization application that summarizes each judgment in Python and turns the summary into a listenable audio file. Documents and audio are secured inside AWS Lambda, EC2, API Gateway, and S3, on a hardened, optimized AWS stack SquareShift built and secured from scratch.

03

The outcome

Legal analysts now get a judgment's gist as a short audio summary instead of reading the full PDF end to end, and can review a judgment while doing something else.

“
A summary that still has to be read defeats the point. Turning it into audio is what actually lets an analyst absorb a judgment while doing something else, not just faster.
