AI for Legal tech

Custodly by Datics AI · Legal tech service

Transcripts sold and released through your platform, readable only by the attorney who paid.

Your platform keeps the sale and the audit trail, and gives up the ability to read the file. Custodly encrypts each transcript in the agency's browser at release, so only the paying attorney can open it.

Built in your codebase and tested in your vendors' sandboxes.

Encrypted transcript and record release for legal marketplaces

  • PIN protected key pairs. Each user sets a PIN at onboarding, and the browser creates a key pair and locks the private key before it leaves the device.
  • A content key per transcript. At release, the agency's browser encrypts the file with its own key and locks that key to the paying attorney.
  • Release only after payment. Release opens once the request is paid at the agency's price, and the agency confirms it with its PIN.
  • Decryption in the attorney's browser. The attorney enters their PIN and reads the file in their browser; the readable copy never reaches the server.
  • An honest PIN warning. The platform never holds a PIN, and onboarding says plainly that a lost PIN can mean lost access.

What it does

What the integration service covers.

PIN protected encryption for record delivery: the agency's browser encrypts each file at release and locks its key to the paying attorney, while payment, release and audit stay on your platform under one request ID.

PIN protected key pairs

Each user sets a PIN at onboarding, and the browser creates a key pair and locks the private key before it leaves the device.

A content key per transcript

At release, the agency's browser encrypts the file with its own key and locks that key to the paying attorney.

Release only after payment

Release opens once the request is paid at the agency's price, and the agency confirms it with its PIN.

Decryption in the attorney's browser

The attorney enters their PIN and reads the file in their browser; the readable copy never reaches the server.

An honest PIN warning

The platform never holds a PIN, and onboarding says plainly that a lost PIN can mean lost access.

How it works

Keys are created and locked in each user's browser, and the platform stores only encrypted files, encrypted private keys and locked content keys. There is no AI in the file path: people enter their own PINs.

Built on PIN protected transcript encryption we have added to a live transcript marketplace.

Transcripts U.S.

Court reporting · Encrypted release

Attorneys receive deposition transcripts that even the marketplace cannot read

The marketplace could once read every transcript it held; now each file is encrypted in the agency's browser and opens only in the paying attorney's.

Transcripts U.S.

Court reporting · Transcript indexing

Court reporting agencies publish transcript metadata without the file ever leaving their browser

Agencies once uploaded full transcripts to the marketplace; now title page details are read in their own browser, and they confirm what is published.

Early-stage dataset marketplace startup

Custody · Files the platform never holds

On-device scanning and encryption for a dataset marketplace that never holds a file

Buyers of AI data could not check what they paid for, and exchanges held the files. A desktop agent now scans and encrypts on the seller's machine.

FAQ

Questions about Custodly.

Is Custodly AI?

No. It is encryption, and no model sees the file. It sits beside the AI modules because it answers the question every agency asks first: who can read the record.

What if a user loses their PIN?

The platform never holds a PIN, so a lost PIN can mean lost access to encrypted files. Onboarding says so plainly.

Can the agency keep the file itself?

We are exploring that design: the platform keeps metadata, payment and audit, and the agency stays the custodian. We scope it per agency in the Product Review.
