Show HN: Privacy Scout – understand privacy policies in minutes with LLMs
At Atticus AI, we&#x27;re on a mission to make legal understanding more accessible to everyone. After building our contract analysis tool and talking to folks, we noticed a common use-case: understanding privacy policies. We decided to build a standalone tool, Privacy Scout, to address this need.<p>With Privacy Scout, all it takes is a URL to a privacy policy. From there, the tool takes over by:<p>- Retrieving and analyzing the policy.<p>- Grading the policy with an easy-to-understand and transparent scoring system.<p>- Allowing users to compare privacy policies across companies in our public directory.<p>Big learnings for us:<p>- Updating our privacy policy was necessary due to the lack of key terms.<p>- A significant portion of the work in effectively utilizing LLMs involves data engineering, such as data munging and developing robust pipelines.<p>- Achieving standout performance with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) requires extensive domain-specific experimentation.<p>We&#x27;re continuing to build a suite of tools to make legal understanding more accessible, and I would love your feedback!
