NVIDIA Public Sector Brazil

Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul (MPRS)

Document Processing · Enterprise Knowledge Search · Security and Compliance

MPRS needed to manage rising legal caseloads, archived police inquiries, and public-service requests more efficiently, but the volume of legal documents and the need for compliant, locally controlled analysis made traditional manual and standard RAG workflows too slow and unreliable.

497 municipalities
About 60,000 police inquiries archived each year in Rio Grande do Sul
Around 39,000 public service requests annually
More than 8 million citizens

Reported impact

Business outcome

The platform moved investigations that could last months or years to less than a day, improved transparency and access for more than 8 million citizens across 497 municipalities, and created a compliant AI foundation for corruption analysis, case archiving, and public legal assistance.

Solution

WideLabs built the Justice Intelligence platform for MPRS on NVIDIA's NeMo stack to support investigations and citizen-facing legal access. TORI Investigation Assistant uses NVIDIA NeMo Retriever for embedding, reranking, and hybrid search inside retrieval-augmented generation pipelines deployed as NVIDIA NIM microservices against legal databases. Archiving Intelligence Assistant applies natural-language analysis to police inquiries and archiving decisions, while the Citizen Access Agent uses NeMo Guardrails for secure routing, case-type determination, document management, and appointment scheduling. Under the hood, NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides the managed software foundation, NeMo Curator preprocesses tens of thousands of documents for retrieval, and NeMo Customizer plus NeMo Aligner adapt models to the local legal domain. The result is a locally controlled, compliance-oriented legal AI platform that combines RAG, guardrails, and curated data pipelines for prosecutors and the public.

Data flow

Legal records, police inquiries, and citizen requests enter the Justice Intelligence platform, NeMo Curator prepares the document base, NeMo Retriever and NIM drive RAG search and agent responses, Guardrails governs routing and safe interaction, and the results are returned to prosecutors, analysts, or citizens through investigation and access assistants.

Solution architecture

11 components · 4 layers
  1. Compute
    • NVIDIA NeMo Retriever Powers embedding, reranking, hybrid search, and document chunking for legal retrieval.
    • NVIDIA NeMo Curator Preprocesses large and growing legal-document collections for high-quality retrieval.
  2. Serving
    • Justice Intelligence platform Acts as the main legal AI environment used by MPRS for investigations and public-service workflows.
    • TORI Investigation Assistant Provides prosecutors and analysts with natural-language access to legal data and investigation records.
    • Archiving Intelligence Assistant (AIA) Analyzes police inquiry archiving decisions and explains them in accessible language.
    • Citizen Access Agent Guides citizens through secure legal-service access, routing, and scheduling workflows.
    • NVIDIA NIM Deploys the RAG and agent models efficiently as scalable microservices.
  3. Orchestration
    • NVIDIA AI Enterprise Provides the locally controlled software foundation needed to manage the legal AI stack.
    • NVIDIA NeMo Customizer Adapts models to the MPRS legal domain and local requirements.
  4. Governance
    • NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails Enforces safe and deterministic behavior for citizen and investigator interactions.
    • NVIDIA NeMo Aligner Improves domain understanding for specialized legal and auditing terminology.

Architecture clues

  • Local control over data and models was a design requirement due to legal and regulatory constraints.
  • MPRS runs separate agent experiences for investigators and citizens on top of the same NeMo-based foundation.
  • The platform uses enhanced RAG with hybrid search, reranking, advanced chunking, and legal-domain model customization.
