## The Legal Library

One way to understand the Anycase.ai platform and how it works is to think of advanced AI capabilities (semantic search, generative AI) being layered on top of authoritative legal references.

In Anycase.ai's Legal Library, currently, are digital copies of Laws and Jurisprudence. We are working on adding other kinds of legal references and documents to the platform. Stay tuned.

### How often are new Laws and Jurisprudence added to the library?

We currently update the library every 1-2 months, but we aim to support (almost) real-time updates of the Legal Library in 2024.

## Reader View

The Anycase.ai app has a native document reader we aptly call Reader. This allows user to read through the full-text of Laws, Jurisprudence and other legal references on the library.

### Accessing the Reader View

Simply click on the search results to access the Reader View

### What's inside the Reader?

Using the Poe vs. Comelec case as an example:<https://app.anycase.ai/decisions_signed_resolutions/2016/3/61848>
