AI Builder Stories
Behind every AI tool is a person deciding which problem is worth spending time on. Cong Ho built LawAsked for people with ordinary legal questions who need a clearer starting point, rather than dense legal text or an unaffordable consultation.
What Cong built
LawAsked is a free site for everyday legal questions, organized country by country. Its answers are written in plain English and link to the official statutes they rely on. The site currently covers 12 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
Why he built it
Cong saw that a deposit dispute, debt-collection notice, or workplace problem can leave someone searching for help they cannot easily afford or reach. He wanted legal information to be free, readable, and tied back to the actual law so people could see the basis for an answer themselves.
One lesson for builders
“Trust is earned by showing your work.”
For Cong, a useful answer should show the exact statute behind it. That gives readers a way to check the source rather than simply take a product’s word for it. The lesson applies beyond legal information: transparency about the underlying work can be a reason people return.
