Our mission

Ninety‑two percent of low‑income Americans with a civil legal problem get no meaningful help. AI can close that gap — or widen it. Which one happens depends on the rules we write now.

ResolvCommunity exists to make sure the technology that resolves disputes is accountable to the people in them. We research how AI negotiates, where it goes wrong, how human supervision must work, and what fairness means when a machine proposes the terms. We publish what we learn, teach it, and give the method away.

We are affiliated with, and funded in part by, Cognitive Resolution Solutions Corporation, the developer of Just‑Us.ai™ — and we keep our research independent of it.
