The tool is designed to keep sensitive case material browser-local where possible, and is available as a live product with a community showcase and demo video.", "body_md": "Legal research keeps colliding with the same problem: summaries that paraphrase, invent, or bury the page where a fact actually lives. **CaseMap** is built to do the opposite — turn a case PDF into a report that stays grounded in the source text, with **verbatim quotes and page citations**, so you can trust and cite what you read.\n\n**Product:** [https://casemap.ecocodes.in](https://casemap.ecocodes.in)\n\n**Showcase:** [CaseMap on vibecode.law](https://vibecode.law/showcase/casemap-331084)\n\n**Demo (video):** [https://youtu.be/hy4J97sSVpI](https://youtu.be/hy4J97sSVpI)\n\nThat design choice matters for lawyers, researchers, and anyone who cannot afford a hallucinated holding or a soft paraphrase of a statute excerpt.\n\nAfter processing, CaseMap is built to keep sensitive material **browser-local** where possible. The goal is useful AI assistance without casually shipping your case files into a black box you cannot audit.\n\nCaseMap started as a community / open-minded build around a hard constraint: **do not invent, do not paraphrase away the source.** If that constraint matches how you work, the live product is here:\n\nFeedback, bug reports, and “this citation path broke on my PDF” notes are welcome.\n\n*Built by Vasim Ahmed Shaikh.
