Kira
Chicago, IL
What it is
Kira is contract intelligence software for document review and due diligence, intended for high-volume work where the stakes are high. It combines predictive and generative AI to extract contract information, answer natural-language questions about a contract set, and create summaries and export-ready reports. Answers link back to their source contracts. More than 1,400 pre-built smart fields are available, and teams can train additional fields. Collaborative review grids support M&A, real estate, banking, and finance. Kira can detect and categorize 40 languages, but most built-in fields are trained for English; some also find German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Canadian French. Custom fields can be trained for Latin-script languages. AI governance controls let organizations manage where and how AI is applied. Litera says its AI+ offering uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI services and does not retain data or use it to train other models. Kira works with Microsoft 365, Litera Transact, HighQ, and Intralinks. It is available on the web, as self-hosted software, and through cloud or on-premises hosting. Pricing is available on request.
