The Opportunity

Problem

Solo indie makers building compliance features lack affordable, tailored legal research tools.

Solution

ReguAI lets you ask natural language questions about compliance (e.g., 'Does my AI chat app need GDPR consent?') and gets tailored answers with sources. It scans your app description for risks and suggests fixes. Affordable alternative to expensive lawyers for solos.
