Legora, a company that makes software for lawyers, is using OpenAI tools to speed up legal work. According to OpenAI, Legora relies on OpenAI models, ChatGPT and Codex to run its products, with a focus on contracts.

What Legora does

Legora builds software that helps lawyers handle contracts and other legal tasks. OpenAI describes the company as building an "agentic operating system" for legal work. In plain terms, that means software that can carry out steps of a task on its own, instead of only answering one question at a time.

What OpenAI says it does for lawyers

  • Speeds up legal workflows
  • Expands how much contract analysis can be done
  • Frees lawyers to focus on higher-value work

The stated goal is to take routine paperwork off lawyers' plates so they can spend time on harder judgment calls.

Why it matters to you

If you pay for legal help, AI-assisted contract review could mean faster turnaround. It is fair to ask your lawyer or firm whether they use tools like this and how.

What is not known yet

The full article was not available, so key details are missing. It is unclear which law firms use Legora, how much time or money it saves, or how lawyers check the AI's work. Those claims also come from OpenAI, not an independent review.

The takeaway

AI contract tools may speed up legal work, so ask your lawyer if they use them and how the results are checked.
