News Summary

JustiGuide, a San Francisco-based startup, is leveraging artificial intelligence to aid immigrants in navigating the complex and often expensive U.S. immigration system. Founded by Nigerian immigrant Bisi Obateru, the platform aims to assist not only immigrants but also startup founders, international students, and immigration lawyers. The AI-powered portal, named Dolores, offers legal research, translation services in 12 languages, and connects users with immigration attorneys, thus reducing costs and expediting the immigration process. With 47,000 users, JustiGuide is also in the process of registering as a law firm to directly offer legal services. The platform ensures user privacy through on-premise encrypted storage and anonymization of data. JustiGuide’s efforts have gained recognition, winning the best pitch in the Policy + Protection category at TechCrunch’s Disrupt conference.
