💡 Quick Start: Follow these 1 steps in order to get up and running with Kira Systems quickly.
Explore the key features that make Kira Systems powerful for ai memory & search workflows.
Kira combines proprietary machine learning models trained on 45,000+ lawyer hours with optional Generative AI to extract contract provisions with 90%+ accuracy. The hybrid approach reduces hallucinations while maintaining flexibility for custom extraction needs.
A law firm conducting M&A due diligence extracts change-of-control clauses, termination provisions, and indemnification terms from 5,000 contracts in days instead of weeks.
Create custom extraction fields by typing natural language questions without labeled training data. Generative Smart Fields work in any language and can be previewed, refined, and published instantly across document sets.
A corporate legal team creates a custom field asking 'Does the contract contain a most-favored-nation clause?' and applies it across an entire portfolio without ML training.
Provide an example phrase or clause and Kira instantly finds conceptually similar language across all project documents. Works without training, prompting, or GenAI, making it available even in restricted environments.
A compliance officer searches for non-compete language across 10,000 employment agreements by pasting a single example clause, finding all variations in seconds.
Toggle Generative AI features on or off at the project level to meet firm or client requirements. Non-GenAI features remain fully functional, ensuring teams maintain compliance without sacrificing productivity.
A law firm working on a sensitive government contract disables GenAI for that project while keeping it enabled for commercial M&A work.
Bundled at no extra cost, Lito operates as an AI legal agent embedded in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and web browsers. Lito automates structured reviews, NDA playbook checks, grid-based multi-document analysis, and agentic redlines.
An associate reviews an NDA directly in Word using Lito, which highlights deviations from the firm playbook and suggests redlines without switching to a separate platform.
Kira analyzes contracts, leases, agreements, and legal documents across practice areas including M&A, real estate, banking and finance, employment, IP, corporate/commercial, and restructuring. The platform supports multiple languages and automatically detects document jurisdictions.
Kira delivers 90%+ accuracy in clause extraction, powered by proprietary ML models trained on over 45,000 lawyer hours and refined through a decade of AI development. The hybrid AI approach cross-validates between proprietary and generative models to reduce errors.
Yes. Kira integrates natively with HighQ and Intralinks for data room connectivity, connects with Litera Transact for transaction dashboards, and offers an Open API for custom integrations with other document management and legal technology platforms.
Kira offers scaled solutions for small law firms, enabling them to deliver fast and accurate contract review through AI workflows without adding headcount. The bundled Lito AI Legal Agent provides additional value for everyday legal tasks directly in Word and Outlook.
