Lina-Law-Firm lets prospects kick the tyres without an account

A read-only demo mode drops curious visitors straight into the assistant, no signup required.

The team added a "view demo" path so anyone can land inside the working assistant without creating an account first. The clever part is where the guardrail sits: the read-only restriction is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the browser, so a guest can look around but can't change, save, or delete anything even if they go poking at it. A slim banner spells out the limits and points toward signing up.

It leans on Supabase, the hosted auth-and-database service many of these forks already use, and its anonymous-session feature, which has to be switched on for the fork to work. There's one rough edge worth knowing about: the write block keys off the type of request, so any future read action that happens to submit data could get caught up in it and need a tweak.

So what Anyone weighing whether to let prospects trial a legal-AI tool before they commit should see how this one keeps a guest safely boxed in.

Spotted something wrong? Or know the PR text has fresher detail than the writeup above?
