What it is

Kira is Litera’s contract intelligence software for high-volume, high-stakes review and due diligence. It combines predictive and generative AI to extract contract information, answer natural-language questions with links to source documents, and produce summaries or export-ready reports. 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 work. Kira detects and categorizes 40 languages, although most built-in fields target English; some also find German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Canadian French, while non-Latin and Asian scripts are not officially supported for built-in fields. The software includes controls governing where AI is applied and can run in the cloud or on premises. Listed integrations include Microsoft 365, Litera Transact, HighQ, and Intralinks. Litera says AI+ uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI services with confidential data not retained or used to train other models. Pricing is on request; web and self-hosted options are listed.
