Amicus AI chatbot

In Feb-June 2025, I built an internal AI chatbot for the Courts Administration Service to answer staff questions by referencing internal policy documents.

Called “Amicus” (which means friend of the court), it helps employees quickly find answers to questions like:

• where do I store files over 100 MB?
• how do I process post-hearing submissions?

Do you know the answers to those things? No, me neither. But Amicus does.

Amicus is a “Chat with my data” RAG implementation built using the ASP.NET framework (C#) and deployed into an enterprise Azure backend infrastructure. It’s bilingual, accessible, Government-of-Canada-branded, and it works on your phone. It saves your conversations for later, and allows you to leave feedback to tell it what you really think.

It’s a clean little app that works great and solves a common organizational use case. It was built, demoed, iterated, and shipped within a 30-day contract. It shipped to internal government staff in August 2025. Overall, it’s a great practical example of how to build something useful quickly during a short, focused engagement.
