I must confess. I have been looking for a bit of kit like Docassemble for a couple of months now. Lets have a quick looks at what it is.

What is Docassemble?

docassemble is a free, open-source expert system for guided interviews and document assembly. It provides a web site that conducts interviews with users. Based on the information gathered, the interviews can present users with documents in PDF, RTF, or DOCX format, which users can download or e-mail.

Though the name emphasizes the document assembly feature, docassemble interviews do not need to assemble a document; they might submit an application, direct the user to other resources on the internet, store user input, interact with APIs, or simply provide the user with information.

docassemble was created by a lawyer/computer programmer for purposes of automating the practice of law, but it is a general-purpose platform that can find applications in a variety of fields.

Coding

If you are considering automating your precedents and also interesting in learning how to code then you cant go past this bit of open source software.
