How it works

​
1. Describe your app

Tell Thurgood what you want to build. “I need a client intake form that collects case details and saves them to a database.” That’s it.

​
2. Watch it build

Thurgood writes the code in real-time. You’ll see a live preview of your app as it takes shape. Don’t like something? Just tell Thurgood to change it.

​
3. Deploy with one click

When your app looks good, click Deploy to Orbit and you’ll have a live URL in about two minutes. Share it with your team, your clients, or the world.

​
What makes Thurgood different

​
It knows Case.dev

Thurgood isn’t a generic AI code generator. It’s built specifically for legal technology and deeply integrated with the Case.dev platform. When you ask for document processing, it uses our OCR. When you need search, it uses our semantic search. When you want to transcribe audio, it uses our voice API. You get production-ready legal apps, not prototypes that need weeks of work to actually use. Thurgood understands legal workflows. It knows what a client intake form should look like. It knows how to structure a document review interface. It knows the difference between a deposition transcript and a pleading. You don’t have to explain the basics—just tell it what you need.

​
It deploys to Orbit

When your app is ready, Thurgood deploys it to Orbit Compute—our hosting platform built for legal applications. Your app gets a real URL, automatic HTTPS, and scales automatically. No servers to manage, no DevOps required.

​
What can you build?

Thurgood is great for:
  • Client intake forms — Collect case information, conflicts checks, engagement letters
  • Document review tools — Upload, OCR, search, and annotate documents
  • AI assistants — Chat interfaces that answer questions about your documents
  • Internal dashboards — Track cases, deadlines, and team workload
  • Client portals — Secure spaces for clients to upload documents and check status
  • Research tools — Search the web, summarize findings, generate reports
If you can describe it, Thurgood can probably build it.

​
Getting started

  1. Go to thurgood.case.dev
  2. Describe what you want to build
  3. Iterate until it looks right
  4. Click Deploy to Orbit
That’s the whole process. No setup, no configuration, no learning curve.
Start simple. Your first app doesn’t need to be complex. Try something like “Build me a form that collects a client’s name, email, and a description of their legal issue.” You can always add features later.

Yes. Thurgood shows you the code as it works. If you’re a developer, you can learn from it or export it to continue building on your own.
Just open your app in Thurgood and tell it what to change. It remembers your app and can modify it.
Yes. Thurgood runs on Case.dev infrastructure with the same security standards as the rest of our platform. Your code and data stay private.
Thurgood builds with React, Next.js, and TypeScript—modern, production-ready technologies. But you don’t need to know any of that.
