What it is

The general-purpose assistant most lawyers try first — strong at drafting, explaining and rewriting across almost any legal task.

Who it's for

Individual lawyers and small teams who want one flexible tool for drafting and explanation, not a research database.

Key features

• Drafting, rewriting and tone changes in plain English
• Summarising long documents and bundles
• Explaining concepts and case law simply
• Custom instructions and project folders to keep Rules in place
• File upload and image understanding on paid tiers

Pricing

Plan	Price	What you get
Free	$0	Limited use of the latest model.
Plus/Pro	~$20/mo	More usage, newest models, higher limits.
Team/Enterprise	From ~$25/user/mo	Admin controls, training opt-out, data residency options.

Indicative and subject to change; enterprise prices are quoted on request. Always confirm on the vendor's own page.

Confidentiality & privilege

Cloud-hosted by default, so privileged material should not be pasted into a personal account. On business/enterprise tiers you can disable training and, in some regions, choose data residency. For truly privileged work, prefer a private deployment or a local model.

Our verdict

A superb drafting partner, provided you never let it be the final word on an authority. Paste your Rules in as custom instructions and run every output through the checklist.
