Trite fixes the biggest pain points for South African legal professionals:

- South African case law is scattered — Trite searches every free repository (SAFLII, Constitutional Court, Labour Court and others) and returns only local, citable judgments with mini-summaries.
- ChatGPT outputs can’t be cited — Trite queries official sources only and shows the neutral citation plus a link to the actual judgment, eliminating hallucinations and wrong citations.
- Billable-hour pressure — “Find the most relevant precedents in seconds.”
- Data-privacy duties — Trite runs on secure private servers and never exposes client data to public AI interfaces.

Trite streamlines legal research:

- Search case law and instantly receive mini-summaries.
- Quickly confirm if a judgment is relevant to your matter.
- Access deep-dive summaries for thorough insights.
- Upload your own judgments for immediate analysis.
- Ask contextual questions and surface key information instantly.

You can ask Trite anything about the case law you’re exploring. Examples:

- What legal principle did the Court establish?
- What test or standard was applied?
- What was the Court’s reasoning and outcome?
