## Frequently Asked Questions

### מהי בינה מלאכותית משפטית? (What is legal AI?)
Legal AI refers to artificial intelligence systems specifically designed for legal workflows — including document analysis, legal research, contract review, case prediction, and compliance monitoring. Unlike general-purpose AI, legal AI is trained on legal corpora and understands jurisdiction-specific terminology. Lawcal AI specializes in Hebrew-language legal AI for the Israeli legal system.

### כיצד AI יכול לעזור למשרדי ממשלה? (How can AI help government offices?)
AI helps government ministries and municipalities automate repetitive document processing, accelerate legal research, improve citizen service response times, and maintain compliance. Specific applications include automated letter drafting, legal opinion summarization, precedent search across thousands of decisions, and intelligent routing of citizen inquiries. Lawcal AI has deployed such systems in Israeli government ministries.

### האם פתרונות Lawcal AI מותאמים לשפה העברית? (Are solutions Hebrew-adapted?)
Yes. Hebrew is a morphologically complex language that general AI models handle poorly. Lawcal AI's solutions are built with Hebrew-first NLP — using specialized models like Legal-HeBERT, custom fine-tuned models on Israeli legal corpora, and RTL-aware interfaces. All outputs are in natural, professional Hebrew.

### האם ניתן להתקין את המערכות בסביבה מקומית? (Can systems be installed on-premise?)
Yes. On-premise and air-gapped deployment is a core capability. For classified government environments, Lawcal AI deploys fully sovereign AI infrastructure — no data leaves the organization's network. This meets the security requirements of Israeli defense and intelligence-adjacent bodies.

### מה ההבדל בין RAG ל-Fine-Tuning? (What's the difference between RAG and fine-tuning?)
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) connects an AI model to a live document database — the model retrieves relevant documents and uses them to answer questions. Fine-tuning trains the model on your specific data to adjust its behavior. For legal applications, RAG is preferred for document Q&A (always uses current documents), while fine-tuning is used for style adaptation and domain specialization. Lawcal AI uses both approaches depending on the use case.

### אילו ארגונים עובדים עם Lawcal AI? (Which organizations work with Lawcal AI?)
Lawcal AI serves Israeli government ministries (including the Ministry of Justice), the Israel Courts Administration, the Digital Israel Bureau, and Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, among other public sector clients. The company also works with private law firms and legal technology startups.
