Overview

DoNotPay bills itself as "the world's first robot lawyer," an AI chatbot that helps consumers contest parking tickets, cancel free trials, request refunds, and fight through other bureaucratic processes. Joshua Browder founded the company in 2015 as an 18-year-old after racking up parking tickets in London, and it is now based in San Francisco.

The product bundles more than 100 narrow AI tools rather than one general chatbot: a virtual card that signs up for free trials and auto-cancels before they charge, templates for FOIA requests and DMV appointments, and negotiation scripts for lowering bills. Each tool is scoped to a specific bureaucratic task instead of offering open-ended legal advice.

DoNotPay suits consumers who want help with a recurring stream of small bureaucratic annoyances rather than a substitute for an attorney on a serious legal matter. Subscription pricing has been inconsistent across billing cycles and drew a $193,000 FTC fine in September 2024 for overstating what its AI could verify; recent billing has run around $36 charged every one to two months, and the company does not offer a free tier.
