Retrospective
The Good
Jurisdiction-aware responses are the differentiator — asking about your lease in Amsterdam gives different answers than asking in Berlin. Claude handles the nuance well when prompted with the right legal context.
The Bad
Legal accuracy is everything and we can't guarantee it. Every response needs disclaimers, which undermines the confident UX we want. Walking the line between helpful and liable is harder than the code.
The Ugly
We started with US tenant law and quickly realized European housing law is a completely different beast. The jurisdiction detection based on user location is hacky at best.
