LexAmp: Democratizing Legal Services Through AI

LexAmp is a revolutionary three-sided marketplace platform that bridges the gap between affordable legal services and professional legal support. As the founder and CEO of this venture under Amplimit, I've built a system that creates value for consumers, law firms, and AI technology providers simultaneously.
