Former Justice Department antitrust officials Jonathan Kanter and Doha Mekki have launched FluxCap, a startup selling AI research and analysis software for plaintiffs pursuing antitrust cases, The Verge reports. Antitrust boutique Kressin Powers is among its first customers.

The platform combines proprietary technology with existing large language models to examine legal arguments, identify weaknesses and search discovery materials for evidence of anticompetitive conduct. Former government lawyers spent months testing it against existing and hypothetical cases. FluxCap plans to expand beyond antitrust, while Kanter acknowledges that technology cannot replace the additional funding and staff government enforcement teams need.
