Legal AI Evidence & Audit Trail Platform¶
ChatGPT history being used as legal evidence in criminal cases highlights a critical need: verifiable audit trails for AI interactions. Legal teams, law enforcement, and enterprises need tamper-proof records of AI usage. This platform provides blockchain-verified logging and forensic analysis of AI-generated content.
App Concept¶
- Enterprise proxy layer that logs all LLM API interactions with cryptographic verification
- Blockchain-anchored audit trails ensure AI conversation history is admissible as evidence
- Forensic analysis toolkit for investigating AI-generated content in legal contexts
- Compliance dashboard showing AI usage across organization with export for discovery requests
- Automated detection of policy violations, bias, or harmful content generation
- Integration with enterprise identity systems for user attribution and access control
Core Mechanism¶
- Organizations route LLM API traffic through secure proxy infrastructure
- Every prompt and response is cryptographically hashed and timestamped
- Merkle trees anchor batches of interactions to public blockchain for tamper-evidence
- Natural language queries search across historical AI interactions: "Show all prompts mentioning X"
- AI-powered forensic analysis detects anomalies, policy violations, and potential liability
- Automated compliance reporting for legal discovery, regulatory audits, and internal investigations
- Privacy-preserving architecture separates PII from audit trails while maintaining verifiability
Monetization Strategy¶
- Professional tier: $499/month for up to 10 users, 100K API calls/month logged
- Business tier: $2,499/month for 100 users, 1M API calls, compliance dashboard
- Enterprise tier: $9,999/month for unlimited users, calls, dedicated blockchain anchoring, SLA
- Legal services tier: Custom pricing for law firms handling AI-related cases
- Per-incident forensic analysis: $5,000-50,000 for expert witness services and detailed reports
- Integration partnerships with legal discovery platforms and eDiscovery tools
Viral Growth Angle¶
- Viral news coverage whenever ChatGPT is used in high-profile legal cases
- Free "AI audit readiness assessment" tool for enterprises drives lead generation
- Thought leadership content on AI legal liability becomes required reading for GCs
- Partnerships with law firms create referral network
- Public case studies on AI-related legal incidents (anonymized) attract media attention
- Open-source client libraries make integration frictionless for developers
