Codify brings legal documents into a form that people and software can navigate. Its public core covers acquisition, transcription and structuring into Akoma Ntoso, with tools for retrieval and comparison.
For me, the point is practical: citizens should be able to understand their rights, businesses the rules they operate under, and governments the law they want to change. The historical motivation runs through For the Love of Law.
Built with the CentreAI team. Why we built it explains the ambition; the public repository is the open-source core.
