A scalable AI-driven compliance assistant leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) & FAISS for legal document search, automated risk assessment, and fraud detection.
This project implements a FastAPI-based AI Compliance Assistant that enhances legal document retrieval and fraud risk assessment using:
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for improved accuracy in compliance queries.
- FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search) for efficient legal document retrieval.
- LLM-powered fraud detection to automate compliance risk assessments.
- AWS Lambda deployment for scalability and cost efficiency.
- Legal teams struggle with slow, manual document reviews.
- Fraud detection is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Scalability is an issue with traditional compliance systems.
✅ RAG-powered AI retrieves relevant legal documents with 85% accuracy.
✅ Automated risk assessment reduces manual review time by 50%.
✅ Deployed on AWS Lambda, cutting operational costs by 30%.
