What is Disputron?
Disputron is an online dispute resolution platform that uses AI to help settle small claims and petty disagreements without needing to go to court. You present your case to an AI lawyer, who helps you build your argument, then an AI judge reviews both sides and makes a binding decision. The service is designed for people dealing with small monetary disputes, neighbour conflicts, or contractual disagreements where the stakes are too low to justify hiring a solicitor or filing an actual court claim. It aims to be faster and cheaper than traditional legal routes, whilst providing a structured process that feels more formal than simple negotiation.
