Argü AI: The AI
that Speaks Naira.

Trained on 10,000+ Nigerian Supreme Court judgments and the specific dialect of the Nigerian Bar. Argu AI is the operating system for Senior Advocates.

LOCAL CONTEXT

Naira-Native
& Local Context.

General AI models fail in the Nigerian courtroom. They don't understand the nuances of the High Court Rules, the hierarchy of Nigerian precedents, or the specific terminologies used in CA/SC judgments. Argü AI is fine-tuned on the "Laws of the Federation."

  • Case Law Mapping: Instant retrieval of relevant SC/CA precedents.
  • Naira Calculations: AI handles professional fee scales and court filing cost estimations.
  • Pidgin Nuance: Understands client instructions provided in Nigerian Pidgin English.
