Aewita exists because I kept watching lawyers paste privileged memos into tools built by AI companies that have nothing to do with the law. The industry accepted that as the price of admission. I didn't.
The architecture came first. We host our own frontier reasoning model — no OpenAI, no Anthropic, no Google. The retrieval layer covers all U.S. case law and court opinions from 1665 to today, plus all current federal and state statutes across 50 states and D.C.
The name.
ǣwita is Old English. It meant a counselor of the law — someone who held and spoke the rules of a people. We chose it because the job hasn't changed in a thousand years. The tools should be worthy of it.
Every other legal AI tool asks you to trust a subprocessor. Aewita doesn't have one.
