Leading this incredible organization has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. So much love and gratitude for my entire @CompileHer family. Young women of color deserve the world and more, and I fully intend on being their biggest advocate for years to come.👸🏽
Every girl should be able to leave her mark on the world. The women at @CompileHer want to make sure of that—with the help of computer science:
Meet Devshi Mehrotra, a 2025 Festival Fellow and the co-founder and CEO of JusticeText. Her startup is using AI to help public defenders better serve their low-income clients and promote accountability and transparency within the criminal justice system: bit.ly/44mIfSV
200+ founders. 3 days. Pure magic at the stunning @ojaivalleyinn. Huge thanks to @trueventures for an incredible Founder Camp! I learned so much on how we can use AI to level up our tech for public defenders and amplify our mission at @JusticeText . Ready to get back to work. 🚀
Public defenders are chronically under-resourced and overburdened with caseloads. @JusticeText's AI software helps lessen the load and make our criminal legal system more just. Hear from co-founder @DevshiMehrotra on @reidhoffman's podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/184NNG… #AI
A great example of AI put to wonderful use
Public defenders represent over 80% of all criminal defendants. In Kentucky, they fight tirelessly despite limited resources and steep caseloads. This year, we visited a group of attorneys to learn how they are using JusticeText to protect client rights. Here are their stories.
The answer can’t be: “We’re not going to use AI.” There are too many positive applications. @JusticeText co-founder @DevshiMehrotra makes this point loud and clear by providing resource-strapped public defenders with AI tools to better serve clients. link.chtbl.com/iKIbQDwN
A decade ago, a wave of whistleblowers, mostly women of color, called out bias in algorithms, and now a new generation of entrepreneurs is getting down to work on countering the problem. Read about @DevshiMehrotra in my @axios series on women in AI. axios.com/2024/11/08/ai-…
I am so proud of everyone around me who has a dream and brings it to life, especially with little to no guidance. It really is not easy. It’s way easier to take the path of least resistance.
Such an honor to be recognized by the American Legal Technology Awards for our work at @JusticeText. Grateful to be in community with other legal innovators who are working to build a more just and accessible legal system. 🎉
We are so proud to share that JusticeText was recognized at the American Legal Technology Awards Gala as the winner of the Access to Justice award! A big thank you to @lawdroid, @inspiredcat, and @PalaceLaw for elevating the work of legal innovators across the country.

The KY Dept. of Public Advocacy receives less funding than state prosecutors by more than 60% — and has consistently done so since 2012. Could an artificial intelligence tool help public defenders manage their caseload? kentucky.com/news/local/cri…
Our CEO @DevshiMehrotra presented at the closing plenary of the @SolveMIT annual conference, spotlighting the work we are doing to build human-centered technology for the Massachusetts criminal justice system. Watch her full presentation: youtube.com/watch?v=cjwOgf…

I interviewed 12 very successful founders about how they developed leadership skills? The answers surprised me…Nope, not HBS, McKinsey or training programs. The answer was that they had to organize volunteers at a young age. Some led church groups, student orgs, local…
Last March in Wisconsin, an AI program used to analyze police bodycam footage detected alleged police misconduct that helped get a case dismissed. I dug into AI speech startups seeking to analyze the glut of police bodycam footage for @techreview technologyreview.com/2024/04/16/109…
"JusticeText did bring to light possible evidence of police malfeasance—specifically, destruction of apparently and potentially exculpatory evidence." Read how a lawyer used JusticeText to challenge her county's problematic BWC policy in the @techreview. technologyreview.com/2024/04/16/109…
Following the shooting of Laquan McDonald, computer science major Devshi Mehrotra wanted to use tech to help fight for racial justice. She co-founded JusticeText, an AI platform that generates transcripts & synthesizes video evidence from criminal cases. peopleofcolorintech.com/articles/justi…
