In their own words
Kira
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.
Pactly
Pactly is a cloud contract management platform for creating, reviewing, negotiating, and managing agreements. Business teams can use templates and fill-in-the-blank questionnaires to prepare drafts for legal review. Smart Templates and Playbooks help identify redlines, compare versions, and apply institutional preferences during negotiations. A contract repository, document version timelines, and automated reminders cover storage and key milestones or renewals. AI-assisted review checks external contracts against default or customized playbooks and uses third-party AI technology. Pactly provides a REST API for accessing and generating contracts, connecting internal systems, and triggering custom actions. Integrations include DocuSign and Adobe Sign; Ultimate lists SharePoint integration for backup only. Pactly says it is ISO 27001 certified and PDPA compliant, encrypts data at rest and communications in transit, and hosts infrastructure in Singapore. It supports two-factor authentication; SSO is listed for enterprise customers and as an Ultimate feature. The paid service has no free plan and offers a 30-day trial. Essentials is $99 a month, billed monthly on an annual plan, with a one-user minimum.
