Litera Unveils New Kira Experience with Expanded GenAI

Litera, a global leader in legal technology solutions, has unveiled a comprehensive end-to-end suite of GenAI services to be embedded directly within Kira for due diligence and contract review.

Re-engineering Kira with GenAI services powered by Litera AI+ is designed to enhance productivity and inform decision-making for legal professionals. By helping to streamline workflows, highlight potential risks and trends, and reduce the time spent on document review, these enhancements enable legal teams to meet client requirements and uncover valuable insights across a wide range of document types. Starting July 31, these features will be available to all new and existing Kira customers without requiring an Azure OpenAI key.

“The re-engineering of Kira with GenAI represents a transformative leap forward for legal teams everywhere—accelerating contract analysis across languages and jurisdictions,” said Adam Ryan, Chief Product Officer at Litera. “By empowering our users with instant, smarter contract analysis and seamless compliance tools, we are redefining what’s possible in legal technology and ensuring our clients are always ahead of the curve.”

Alongside Kira’s leading smart field technology for clause extraction and firm collaboration workflows, Litera users can leverage large language model (LLM) technology today for:

• Generative smart fields: Create custom smart fields in any language with a prompt—no coding, no training cycles—faster and easier than ever, unlocking new use cases and accelerating insights across any document type, providing answers to questions beyond Kira’s 1,400 built-in smart fields.
• Grid-based Workflow: This new tabular layout transforms reviews and gives legal teams an instant overview of risks and trends across all documents in a clean, intuitive layout. By displaying extracted language and answers, the structured and flexible approach enables legal teams to locate language quickly, interact with documents through chat, and create smart fields, including Generative Smart Fields, directly from the chart content. This enables faster reviews and accelerates the development of insights, leading to more informed decisions. Cloud customers can now preview and provide feedback on the new Analysis Chart.
• Concept Search: Powerful new predictive AI, built on an LLM, enables legal teams to use just a single example to identify any legal concept across project documents instantly.
• Project-level GenAI Governance: Legal teams can easily comply with outside counsel guidelines regarding GenAI usage with the flexibility to enable or disable Litera AI+ features for any Kira project.

On July 23, Litera unveiled Lito, a cutting-edge AI legal agent seamlessly integrated into Litera One. Lito works with Kira, dynamically adapting to the use case, user scale, and document complexity. Together, they transform how legal teams analyse, collaborate, and deliver results. Also available is Kira’s Rapid Clause Analysis, which quickly identifies and organises clauses across documents for legal teams, improving efficiency and consistency. Integrated with Kira Smart Summaries powered by Litera AI+, teams can generate summaries directly from organised clauses for incorporation in client memos. Additionally, Kira’s new search architecture now delivers results in seconds and up to 10 times faster, boosting productivity and enabling advanced GenAI features in Kira’s updated and enhanced interface.
