Roadmap
What we're building
A transparent look at where Pleadli is, where it's going, and what milestones we're working toward. Updated as we ship.
Foundation
ReleasedApril 2025Core infrastructure: authentication, organization model, form builder, and the admin panel that everything else builds on.

- Admin panel — user management, org approval, notification badges
- Account dashboard — profile, security (2FA + sessions), settings
- Sessions stored in Cloudflare KV for performance
Portals
ReleasedQ4 2025Dedicated portals for law enforcement and courts — each on its own subdomain with tailored case workflows and cross-subdomain session sharing.
- Pretrial Portal (pretrial.pleadli.com) — police case filing and DPP review
- Case workflow: draft → filed → sent to DPP → approved / referred back → sent to court
- Police workspace: create cases, attach evidence, track status

- Town-based routing — police stations linked to DPP offices

- Cross-subdomain session sync via Better Auth KV sessions
- Organization onboarding with auto-approval for org owners
Forms & Documents
In progressQ1–Q2 2026The core platform layer — offline-first form building, structured record collection, template-based document generation, per-record case tracking, and AI notebook.
- Offline-first local-first architecture — full feature parity without internet, syncs when connected
- 20+ field types: text, arrays, nested arrays, conditional fields, date, file, signature, and more
- Document templates — define once with {{field}} tokens, generate from any record
- Multi-record generation — merge or separate documents across multiple submissions
- Records table with status filtering, bulk sync, bulk status update, and storage visibility
- Case Status tracking — lightweight workflow progression (draft → ready → filed) per submission
- Document output: HTML, PDF-ready, DOCX (real .docx), Markdown — all formats work offline
- AI Notebook — chat with AI over submission data, generate templates from conversation
- AI template generation — streaming SSE, {{token}} injection, format-aware output
- Local + cloud template merging — templates visible regardless of auth state
- Form-level template management — accessible from form cards and submission detail
- Excel export — bulk export all records to .xlsx
- Cloudflare Worker bundle optimised — SSR stubs for browser-only libraries (under 2 MiB)
