About Kira Systems

Kira Systems uses machine learning to automatically identify, extract, and analyze provisions from contracts and documents. It is primarily used by law firms, professional services firms, and corporate legal teams to accelerate due diligence, contract review, and compliance workflows.

Kira Systems is a contract analysis platform that applies machine learning to help legal and business professionals review large volumes of contracts more efficiently. The software can automatically locate and extract specific clauses, provisions, and data points from uploaded documents, reducing the manual time required during due diligence, lease abstraction, regulatory compliance reviews, and other document-intensive processes. The platform is designed for law firms, Big Four accounting and consulting firms, and in-house legal departments. It is commonly deployed during mergers and acquisitions, where legal teams must review hundreds or thousands of contracts under tight deadlines. Kira's trained machine learning models can recognize a wide range of standard contract provisions out of the box, and users can also build custom models to identify organization-specific or deal-specific language. Kira includes tools for document uploading, clause highlighting, side-by-side document comparison, and exporting extracted data to spreadsheets or reports. Teams can work collaboratively within the platform, assigning documents and tracking review progress. The extracted information can be used to populate deal summaries or flag provisions that require attorney attention. In terms of market positioning, Kira competes with other AI-driven contract review tools such as Luminance and Loio. It is considered an enterprise-grade solution and is typically sold to organizations that handle significant contract volumes. Kira Systems was acquired by Litera in 2021, integrating it into a broader suite of legal workflow and document management tools.

Buyer Questions

Common questions answered by our AI research team

Pricing

Does Kira offer different pricing tiers for small law firms versus enterprise firms, and how do I get a quote?

Kira's content mentions three customer segments — Enterprise and Large Law Firms, Corporate Legal Departments, and Small Law Firms — but does not specify different pricing tiers for each. To get a quote, you must request a demo through the website, as pricing is provided per organization upon request.

Features

Can I toggle the GenAI features on or off independently from the core proprietary AI extractions for governance or compliance reasons?

Yes. Kira explicitly states it offers 'Governance-first AI, with GenAI controls you can toggle on or off,' allowing firms to apply GenAI only where appropriate while maintaining oversight and compliance independently of the core proprietary AI extractions.

Security

How does Kira's integration with OpenAI models work in the context of Smart Summaries, and what data security controls are in place when using that integration?

A testimonial from Bill Garcia, Chief Practice Innovation Officer, references 'the integration of Kira Smart Summaries with an OpenAI model' as enabling cost-effective contract review while 'maintaining enhanced data security.' However, the content does not provide specific technical details about how the integration works or what particular data security controls are in place.

Setup

How long does it take to set up custom Generative Smart Fields, and do they require labeled training data before they can be published?

Generative Smart Fields do not require labeled training data — the content explicitly states 'They remove the need for labeled training data.' They can be created using natural language questions, and can be 'edited, previewed and refined before publishing,' though no specific setup time is mentioned.
