Legal AI assistants
Ulpian and legal AI assistants
A legal AI assistant is built to draft, summarise, review documents and search. It works mostly on the documents you give it. Ulpian also holds the firm's matters, time, billing and compliance, and its AI works directly on that data, with each person's rights.
What you will see in Ulpian
Fictitious matter, sample data.
The same gesture, two ways of doing it
On the left, the work moves from one tool to another. On the right, it stays in the matter.
From one tool to another
- Export the matter's documents
- Copy them into the AI tool
- Paste the answer into a document
- Re-enter the time spent
In Ulpian
- The question starts from the matter, with your rights
- The answer cites the matter's documents
- The document is prepared in the matter
- Time is proposed, then approved

| Legal AI assistants | Tool in this category | Ulpian |
|---|---|---|
| Matters, contacts and deadlines | Managed in other software | In the same platform as the AI |
| Time, billing and bank | Outside the scope | Time recording, invoices, QR invoices, bank reconciliation |
| AI context | The documents loaded into the tool | The full matter, with the rights of the person working |
| Approval before sending | Depends on the tool | Every sensitive sending waits for a named approval |
| Choice of model | Depends on the vendor | Your own keys, a local model or a dedicated model |
| Hosting | Varies by vendor | Hosted in Switzerland by a Swiss provider; your own cloud or an on-premises installation with Enterprise |
When Ulpian is the right choice
- You want the AI to work on the matter, time and invoice without copying data from one tool to another.
- You need control over the model used, the processing region and a record of every call.
- You want to replace several tools with one platform.
When to keep your current assistant
- Your firm already has management software that suits it, and you are looking only for a drafting and review tool.
- Your teams work mainly in Word and have adopted the assistant you use. Ulpian can also run alongside it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ulpian's AI as good as a specialised assistant?
Ulpian uses the same families of models, which you can choose. The difference lies in the context: the assistant reads the full matter with your access rights, cites its sources and proposes items to approve in the matter.
Can we use both?
Yes. Ulpian does not require you to drop a drafting tool your teams like.
