Agent Kit Legal Assistant by Lamatic.ai

Agent Kit Legal Assistant is a Next.js starter kit for a legal assistant chatbot built on Lamatic Flows.

What This Kit Does and the Problem It Solves

Many users have legal questions but do not know where to begin, which legal area applies, or what next step to take. This kit provides a structured legal-information assistant that can:

• Classify the likely legal area from a user question.
• Return informational summaries with context-aware references when available.
• Suggest practical next steps and follow-up questions.
• Always show a legal disclaimer so users understand it is not legal advice.

It is designed to:

• Understand user legal questions with optional jurisdiction/context.
• Return an informational legal summary.
• Include references to statutes, case law, or source materials when available.
• Suggest practical next steps.
• Show a clear disclaimer that responses are not legal advice.

Important Disclaimer

This project is for informational and educational use only. It is not legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and should not replace consultation with a licensed attorney. Do not submit confidential, privileged, or personally identifying information unless you have reviewed and accepted the data retention and logging policies of Lamatic and your configured model provider.

Prerequisites and Required Providers

• Node.js 20.9+
• npm 9+
• Lamatic account and deployed flow
• Lamatic API key, project ID, and API URL
• LLM provider configured in Lamatic flow (for example OpenRouter/OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

Lamatic Setup (Pre and Post)

Before running this project, build and deploy your legal flow in Lamatic, then wire its values into this kit.

Pre: Build in Lamatic

1. Sign in at https://lamatic.ai
2. Create a project
3. Create a legal assistant flow
4. Deploy the flow
5. Export your flow files (config.json, inputs.json, meta.json, README.md)
6. Copy your project API values and flow ID

Post: Wire into this repo

1. Create .env.local
2. Add Lamatic credentials and flow ID
3. Install and run locally

Required Environment Variables

Create .env.local:

ASSISTANT_LEGAL_ADVISOR="your-flow-id-here"
LAMATIC_API_URL="https://your-lamatic-api-url"
LAMATIC_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"
LAMATIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"

npm install

Execution Paths

• Client widget path: the bundled flows/assistant-legal-advisor/config.json uses a Chat Widget trigger and works with components/legal-ask-widget.tsx.
• Server orchestration path: actions/orchestrate.ts#getLegalGuidance expects an API Request trigger flow. Replace the bundled flow export with an API trigger flow if you want server-side executeFlow calls.

Usage Examples

Try prompts like:

• "My landlord did not return my security deposit in Goa, India. What can I do?"
• "I was terminated without notice. What steps should I consider?"
• "A contractor did not complete agreed work after payment in Singapore. What are my options?"

Expected behavior:

• Assistant returns an informational response with a disclaimer.
• Assistant asks for missing jurisdiction details when needed.
• Assistant suggests practical next steps without claiming to be a lawyer.

Flow Export Location

Place your Lamatic export in:

kits/assistant/legal/flows/assistant-legal-advisor/

If you use a chat-trigger flow, update the flow domains allowlist to your actual local and production origins before deployment.

Expected files:

• config.json
• inputs.json
• meta.json
• README.md
