★ Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Is this a real court?
No. Judgily is for entertainment. The judges are AI personas. The verdicts have no legal weight. We say this loudly because it's important.
Who is the AI judge actually?
Each verdict is generated by Claude (Anthropic's LLM) prompted with a specific judicial persona — voice, decision framework, signature phrases, damages style. The personas are listed here. They're engineered to produce different rulings on the same case.
What happens to my data?
Case text is stored in our database so we can render the verdict page. The text is sent to Anthropic (for the verdict) and OpenAI (moderation-only). We don't sell data. See /privacy for the full breakdown.
Can I delete a case I filed?
Yes — open /account/cases, find the case, and hit the ✕ button. Deletion is permanent: the verdict page returns a 404, any voice audio is removed from storage, and the defendant action log is dropped. If you don't have an account yet, email privacy@judgily.com with the case URL and we'll delete it for you.
What if my defendant is upset they were named?
If you submitted with their email, they had a 24-hour window where the verdict page was unpublished and they could opt out, mark it private, or block it. If you submitted without their email, they can still request takedown via privacy@judgily.com — we honor those requests.
Why does the same case give different verdicts under different judges?
That's the design. Each judge has a different decision framework. Marigold weights communicated boundaries, Coleman weights procedural clarity, Roxie weights direct argument, Patel weights what each party got right. Same dispute, eight ways of looking at it.
Can I name a real public figure as defendant?
No. Submissions naming public figures (politicians, billionaires, Supreme Court justices, current celebrities) are refused at the input layer. Use a generic descriptor like “my coworker” or “her ex.”
What if the case involves abuse, threats, or harm?
Judgily isn't the right venue. The Court will return a refusal with a pointer to a real resource. If you're in danger, please contact 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US), 911, or your local equivalent.
How are damages decided? Are they real?
Damages are never monetary. They're behavioral remedies — an apology with specific words, a chore, a 30-day cooling-off period. They're not enforceable; they're the judge's recommendation. Take them or don't.
Is this legal advice?
No. Judgily is for entertainment. The verdicts are not legal advice, are not binding, and have no legal weight whatsoever. If you need legal advice, talk to a real lawyer. If you act on a Judgily verdict in a real-world situation, that's on you. See /terms for the formal version.
How can I cancel my subscription?
Sign in, go to /account/settings, click Manage subscription — that opens the Stripe Customer Portal where you can cancel, switch tiers, or update your card. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we don't pro-rate. No questions, no retention email.
