AI for legal and regulatory compliance teams in Peru

ANDE Studio builds AI agents and RAG systems for law firms, corporate legal departments and compliance teams in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. They answer with a citation to the source rule or document. It is the architecture already running in Helia, our legal-intelligence platform on official Peruvian sources, launched in 2025.

Updated: October 2026

The problem in legal and compliance

Scattered, changing rules.

New rules are published daily in El Peruano and agencies issue rulings on different portals and formats; tracking what applies takes manual review.

Inspections with deadlines.

Answering an inspection request means gathering rules, past rulings and internal evidence in days.

Trapped knowledge.

Past opinions, filings and criteria live in emails and folders and leave with people.

Generic AI without sources.

A generic chat can confidently answer with outdated or invented content and no source. In law, an answer without a source is useless.

AI use cases for legal teams

Regulatory Q&A with citations

Natural-language questions over indexed rules; answers with rule, article and date.

Data: official laws and public rulings.

Daily El Peruano monitoring with alerts

An agent reads the Legal Norms every day and alerts by topic, sector or agency.

Data: El Peruano's daily publication.

Contract review and comparison

Flags missing or non-standard clauses for the lawyer to review.

Data: contracts and internal templates.

Summaries of administrative rulings

Summarizes enforcement rulings (e.g. OEFA environmental rulings) with facts, rule applied and penalty.

Data: public rulings.

Firm or department knowledge base

Search across past filings, reports and opinions, linking to the original.

Data: internal documents with per-user permissions.

Support for inspection responses

Gathers rules, precedents and evidence into a draft the team reviews and signs.

Data: the request + internal base + rules.

Proof: Helia, legal AI in production

ANDE Studio designed and built Helia, a legal-intelligence platform launched in 2025 and running at iahelia.com. Helia Normativa reads El Peruano's Legal Norms every day and Helia Ambiental supports environmental management and responses to OEFA. According to iahelia.com, as of July 2026 its first release covered 30+ regulations from 8 institutional sources, with 100% of answers carrying a verifiable citation.

Helia case study: AI agents and RAG on Peruvian law

How a legal AI system works

Ingest rules and documents → split into passages with metadata (agency, number, date, validity) → semantic search → agents that answer only from what was retrieved → citation to the exact document → human review.

Per-user access and isolation of each client's documents are designed from the diagnostic; deployment options are defined by each organization's security requirements.

Personal data and AI regulation

A legal AI system handles personal and confidential documents. In Peru that means complying with Law No. 29733 on Personal Data Protection and taking into account Law No. 31814, which promotes the use of artificial intelligence. In the diagnostic we review what data goes in, who has access and how queries are logged.

How we start

Paid diagnostic (1 to 2 weeks)

Process map, available data, risks and prioritized use cases.

Roadmap with estimated ROI

Impact vs. effort and the case to do first.

Quick-win pilot

The main use case on real data, on the timeline set by the diagnostic.

Production and adoption

Deployment, integration, training and measurement.

The first case is usually regulatory Q&A with citations or El Peruano monitoring, because it uses public sources and is quick to measure. AI consulting for companies.

What we don't do

  • We don't give legal advice or replace lawyers. Helia and our systems do not replace advice from a lawyer.
  • We don't use one client's documents to train models for another.
  • We don't build systems that answer without citing their source.
  • We don't build free prototypes: everything starts with the paid diagnostic.

Frequently asked questions

What can AI do for a legal or compliance team?

AI can search and summarize rules, compare contracts, alert on new publications in El Peruano and answer questions about internal documents citing the source. ANDE Studio builds these systems for legal teams in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.

How is this different from using ChatGPT?

A custom RAG system by ANDE Studio answers only from indexed official rules or your organization's documents and cites the exact document. A generic chat can answer without a source or with outdated information.

What legal-sector experience does ANDE Studio have?

ANDE Studio built Helia, a legal-intelligence platform with AI agents on Peruvian regulations, launched in 2025 and running at iahelia.com.

How do we start?

With a paid 1 to 2 week diagnostic by ANDE Studio: we review processes, documents and risks, and deliver a roadmap with estimated ROI and the first case to build.

How much does it cost?

It depends on document volume, integrations and scope. ANDE Studio doesn't publish prices; the cost is set when the diagnostic closes.
