I recently built MikaAI, an AI contract generator, and wanted to share the journey.</p> <p>The idea came from my own pain point. I used to spend hours drafting contracts for freelance work. Hiring a lawyer was too expensive, and online templates were too rigid. I thought — what if AI could handle this?</p> <p>So I built it. The tech stack is simple: Python + FastAPI for the backend, SQLite for the database, DeepSeek as the AI engine, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend. Payments go through LemonSqueezy, and transactional emails via Resend.</p> <p>The product lets you generate 20+ types of contracts — NDAs, service agreements, quotes, you name it. It also has a built-in legal risk review feature, supports 26 currencies, and can produce bilingual contracts in English and Chinese.</p> <p>The hardest part was getting the AI prompts right. Legal language is incredibly precise. One wrong word can change the meaning of an entire clause. I spent weeks testing and refining the prompts to get reliable, professional output every time.</p> <p>The whole thing took shape over a few intense weeks. FastAPI made the backend trivial, and DeepSeek's API was straightforward to integrate. The real challenge was product design — figuring out what freelancers and small businesses actually need in a contract tool.</p> <p>If you're curious, there's a free tier at mikaai.online. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you've worked on anything similar with AI and legal tech.</p> ai python startup saas
