Frequently asked questions

How is a private AI assistant different from ChatGPT or Copilot?

It answers only from documents your firm has approved, it runs in a cloud environment you control in a UK region, access follows your staff roles, every question and answer is logged, and the model provider is contractually barred from training on your data. Public consumer AI tools do not give you those controls over confidential material.

What can it do on day one?

A typical first version covers one area: answering staff questions from your procedures and checklists, drafting onboarding checklists, or summarising new enquiries for the fee earner. Integrations with your CRM and case management system are added in later phases.

How much does it cost?

A first version is typically £2,500 to £10,000 depending on the number of documents, sources and integrations, plus hosting and AI usage costs that scale with how much your team uses it. You get a fixed build price before work starts.

Does it replace lawyers or give legal advice?

No. It handles repetitive information and admin work. Legal analysis, advice and professional judgement stay with your qualified staff, who can see the source behind every answer.
