🎉 Congratulations to Kennioth Sausewagen (BSc Computer Science, April 2025) on launching LexPNG – PNG’s first AI legal assistant app!

We are immensely proud of Kennioth Sausewagen, a recent graduate of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology, who has turned his final-year project into a real-world innovation helping people across the country.

📱 About LexPNG:

• A mobile application providing instant and affordable legal information to citizens without access to professional legal counsel.

• Built using OpenAI’s GPT‑4 and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques.

• Trained on PNG’s legal documents, including legislation and case law from PACLII.

• Includes features such as secure user login, document uploads, and cloud storage.

• Available via freemium subscription on Android devices.

🌍 Real Impact:

Kennioth was inspired by countless Papua New Guineans he met who lacked basic legal support. He said:

“I wanted to create a solution where everybody can get access to instant legal information … Some can’t afford a professional to give legal advice about their rights.”

Now available for public use, LexPNG is an example of student research with real, societal impact.

🚀 What’s Next?

Kennioth is actively working on improving the app, collecting feedback, and exploring opportunities for collaboration and investment to further expand LexPNG’s reach.
