The platform uses NVIDIA NeMo Retriever for RAG pipelines, NVIDIA NIM microservices for deployment, NVIDIA NeMo Curator for document preprocessing, NVIDIA NeMo Customizer for domain-specific model tuning, and NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails for safety and consistency. The system went into full production in January 2025, serving more than 8 million citizens across 497 municipalities, and per MPRS deputy attorney general João Cláudio Pizzato Sidou, procedures that could last months or years can now be resolved or advanced in less than a day.","company":"Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul (MPRS)","industry":"Government & Public Sector","country":"Brazil","aiCapabilities":["Retrieval-Augmented Generation","Natural Language Processing","Conversational AI"],"technology":["NVIDIA NeMo Retriever","NVIDIA NIM","NVIDIA NeMo Curator","NVIDIA NeMo Customizer","NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails","NVIDIA AI Enterprise"],"deployment":"Unknown","problemStatement":"Brazil has a massive backlog of legal cases, with over 82 million pending in the courts as of late 2023. In Rio Grande do Sul alone, about 60,000 police inquiries are archived each year, and the MPRS processes around 39,000 public service requests annually, a number that continues to rise — overwhelming volume that slows down the justice system and delays outcomes for millions of people.","solutionApproach":"WideLabs built the Justice Intelligence platform for MPRS, consisting of the TORI Investigation Assistant (natural language query over the TORI database using NVIDIA NeMo Retriever RAG pipelines deployed as NVIDIA NIM microservices, with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails ensuring consistent behavior), the Archiving Intelligence Assistant (analyzes judicial process archiving promotions and generates accessible explanations), and a Citizen Access Agent with secure authentication, intelligent case routing, document management, and appointment scheduling. Document preprocessing used NVIDIA NeMo Curator, and models were customized to the MPRS legal domain using NVIDIA NeMo Customizer and NVIDIA NeMo Aligner.","businessValue":"The Justice Intelligence platform was tested with a small sample of prosecutors and went into full production in January 2025, serving more than 8 million citizens across 497 municipalities. Per deputy attorney general João Cláudio Pizzato Sidou, the system can find inconsistencies in huge databases within minutes, and procedures and investigations that could last months or years can now be resolved or advanced in less than a day.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/case-studies/widelabs-ai-makes-legal-services-accessible-brazil/","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-19T07:58:35.652Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-08-19T07:58:35.652Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/widelabs-justice-intelligence-platform-makes-legal-services-more-accessible-for-8-million-citizens-in-rio-grande-do-sul-brazil.
