The AI Lawcraft Hackathon focuses on real challenges faced in legal practice. Rather than starting with a predefined solution, teams are first asked to identify and clearly define a challenge faced by lawyers and legal teams in their day-to-day work and then design an AI-powered solution using the tools provided on SAGA platform.

⚖️ Challenge Approach: From Problem to Solution

Each team will:

1. Identify a real legal pain point
   Examples include inefficiencies, risks, repetitive tasks, lack of transparency, or decision-making challenges in legal work.

2. Define the problem clearly
   Teams are expected to articulate:

   • who the user is (lawyer, in-house counsel, compliance team, etc.),

   • where the problem occurs in the legal workflow, and

   • why current solutions are insufficient.

3. Design an AI-assisted legal solution
   Using the platform’s tools, teams will translate their problem into a structured, testable solution.

🧩 Tools You Will Use
Participants will build their solutions using:

• Legal workflows – structuring complex legal processes step by step

• AI assistants & agents – assigning roles and responsibilities to AI (e.g. reviewer, challenger, drafter)

• Grid reviews – structured extraction of key legal information from documents
  
  

🧠 Skills You Will Develop

• Prompt engineering for legal work – crafting precise instructions for different legal tasks and roles

• Process thinking – breaking down complex legal work into AI-assisted steps

• Responsible AI usage – understanding limits, risks, and verification strategies
  
  

No coding is required, the focus is on legal reasoning, process design, and responsible AI use.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

Teams will be evaluated on:

• clarity and relevance of the problem definition,

• how well the solution fits real legal workflows,

• effective and creative use of AI tools,

• transparency and reliability of the outputs, and

• overall practicality and impact.

🏆 Award

The winning team will receive:

• €500 total cash prize (shared among up to 5 team members)

• One month of free access to the Saga platform for the entire team
  
  

Beyond the prize, this is a chance to continue building your solution on a professional legal AI platform and take your idea one step closer to the real world.
