From Proven to Pioneering: GenAI Now Built into Every Kira Subscription
Kira’s leadership isn’t just rooted in its past performance—it’s defined by its evolution alongside transactional legal practice. On July 28, 2025, Litera announced the new Kira experience, introducing an expansion of Kira’s powerful Generative AI capabilities—available to all Kira customers at no additional cost and with no need to supply an OpenAI key.
These innovations are designed to deliver faster insights, enhanced collaboration, and smarter workflows, directly within Kira:
- Generative Smart Fields: Users can now create custom smart fields in any language, with a simple prompt—no training required. This unlocks even more use cases beyond Kira’s existing 1,400+ pre-trained clauses.
- Concept Search: This new feature allows users to find legal concepts across all documents in a project using just a single example—accelerating issue spotting and clause comparison.
- Grid-Based Workflow in Analysis Chart: A reimagined, tabular layout gives legal teams a visual snapshot of risks and trends, letting users chat with documents, extract language, and build fields directly from the grid.
- Smart Summaries and Clause Analysis: Integrated tools allow for rapid clause review and one-click generation of client memos, all supported by GenAI through Litera AI+.
- Project-Level GenAI Governance: Firms can easily toggle AI functionality on a project-by-project basis to align with client or internal policies—balancing innovation with compliance.
