Short answer

How do I track lawsuit status with my AI?

Give your AI a specific CNJ case number, and it will pull the latest movement and status directly from the Brazilian courts. You'll get a clear breakdown of recent changes and current standing. This guide shows you how to set up that monitoring loop.

The outcomes

What your AI delivers

The AI turns raw court data into actionable information.

MONITOR

Real-time status updates

The AI uses the API to find the exact current state of a case. You get notified of new movements without manual searching.

REPORT

Movement summaries

Instead of reading long court logs, your AI summarizes what actually happened in the latest filing. It highlights the most important changes.

ALERT

Change detection

Your AI identifies when a case moves from one stage to another. It flags specific status changes you care about.

HUMAN

Legal strategy review

The AI provides the data, but you decide how to react. You use the summaries to plan your next legal move or client update.

The workflow

What your AI does when the case number arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Brazilian judicial system.

  1. Fetch case data

    The AI takes the CNJ number you provide and queries the public database for all associated records.

    search_process_by_number

  2. Parse court logs

    It reads through the raw movement history to find recent activity or changes in the case status.

    search_process_by_number

  3. Identify updates

    The AI isolates new filings or judicial decisions from the older, irrelevant history.

    search_process_by_number

  4. Summarize findings

    It translates the technical court language into a plain English summary for your review.

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI change the status of a lawsuit?

    No. The AI can only read and report data from the CNJ database. It has no authority to modify court records.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically email me when a case moves?

    No. The AI only provides information when you ask it or when you have an active monitoring loop set up in your client.

  • 03

    Can I track cases from any country?

    No. This specific connector is built for the Brazilian court system using the CNJ Datajud API.

  • 04

    What happens if a case number is invalid?

    The AI will report that no records were found for that specific number in the public database.

  • 05

    Does the AI store my legal data?

    No. The AI uses the data to answer your questions, but the connection is a direct pass-through to your client.
