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

Pros

  • Capable across tasks
  • Easy to start
  • Huge ecosystem and integrations
  • Custom instructions make the Rules easy to apply

Cons

  • Invents citations confidently
  • Data leaves your machine unless you use a private tier
  • Output varies between model versions

Pricing

PlanPriceWhat you get
Free$0Limited use of the latest model.
Plus/Pro~$20/moMore usage, newest models, higher limits.
Team/EnterpriseFrom ~$25/user/moAdmin controls, training opt-out, data residency options.

Indicative; enterprise prices on request. 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.
