What's real, and what's a placeholder
This is an early, working preview of an ongoing pilot — not the finished product. Almost everything you click genuinely works and behaves the way it would in the real thing. A few pieces underneath are still a step away, so you don't walk away expecting something that isn't there yet. Here's the honest list, in plain terms.
Signing in
This is real: a six-digit code is emailed to you, then a mandatory second step (an authenticator app code) the first time each device signs in. A device stays signed in for about 60 days after that. Demo accounts on the sign-in screen skip both steps as a convenience while trying this out — a real deployment never offers that shortcut.
Your answers are saved in a real database
Autosave writes straight to Postgres as you type, field by field, so two people editing different parts of the same case at once can't overwrite each other's work. It'll still be there if you close the tab and come back another day — and, unlike the earliest preview, this is now the same kind of durable storage a production system would use.
Uploading documents
Files are genuinely stored and scanned for viruses before anyone can download them. What isn't built yet is automatic reading of a document's contents into the form beyond a best-effort attempt (see "Reading documents with AI", below) — a real scanned PDF won't extract cleanly today.
Reading documents with AI
The "Read with AI" button on a document makes a real call to Claude and turns whatever it finds into suggestions you accept or reject — nothing is ever written into your application automatically. Whether it reads a real document well hasn't been verified yet in this environment (no usable AI credit at the time of writing) — it degrades to "enter it yourself" cleanly when that happens, rather than blocking you.
The generated Letter of Intent
This part is genuinely impressive and worth trying — a full, correctly filled-in legal document, produced as a real PDF with the firm's letterhead, built from whatever was typed into the form. Depending on how this particular preview is switched on, it's written either by an AI reading the application, or by a simpler system that fills in a template with the same information. Either way, a real lawyer should still read and check it before it ever goes to a client — it's a draft, not a final signed-off letter.
Notes send real emails
Adding a note that's marked as visible to the client sends a real email notification to the client and accountant. So do submitting an application, being assigned an accountant, and a letter being generated.
Case types can be added without touching code
Bucare staff can reconfigure an existing legal service, or lay the groundwork for a new one, from a screen inside the portal — no code or JSON required. Only one is filled in with real content today ("Tax-Neutral Conversion"), because that's the one service this preview was built around, not because more can't be added.
Please don't use real client information
This is a pilot environment, not a production one. Made-up names, numbers and companies are exactly what it's for.
In short: the experience is real, the workflow is real, the letter it writes is real — it's mainly automatic document reading that hasn't been verified yet. That's completely normal for a pilot at this stage.
