How a Legal Advocate Built an AI-Powered Case Intake & Memo Generator — Without Writing Code

⚖️ Built a Legal AI Assistant in a Week — No Code

Problem:

Client intake in law firms is messy.

Manual forms, unclear info, and memo drafts that start from scratch.

Thomas, a non-technical legal advocate, wanted to automate the first mile of casework:

  • Intake → Clarification → Drafting

So he built it—in 1 week—with Momen. No engineers.

🛠️ The Setup

Feature Built With
Intake Form Momen's drag and drop UI builder
AI Follow-Up Momen's AI agent builder (with RAG)
Memo Generation Momen's Actionflow + LLM
PDF Export LegalMarkdown
Roles & Auth Momen's Built-in permission

🔄 The Workflow

  1. Client submits a case
  2. AI follows up with smart questions
  3. Once complete, Actionflow generates a memo
  4. Lawyer dashboard shows full history + PDF export

No polling, no glue code. Just declarative logic and built-in AI agents.

✅ Outcome

  • MVP in under 7 days
  • AI-powered summaries + drafts
  • Saves 2–3 hours per case
  • Cost: <$100/month

🧠 Why It Works

Momen gave him:

  • Structured data + UI
  • Backend workflows (Actionflow)
  • RAG-enabled AI agents
  • Full access control

Built like a dev, without writing code.
