Alexi

Alexi is a legal intelligence platform for law firms. It was built originally to generate evidence backed research memos and now covers litigation, transactional, operational and administrative workflows. The architecture is retrieval first, with a proprietary model layer the vendor calls Alex, aimed at grounding output in primary law rather than generating from model memory. Each firm receives its own private single tenant AI environment, with private cloud deployment offered, and the vendor states that the firm's accuracy signals and accumulated institutional knowledge belong exclusively to that firm.

It ships a library of prebuilt workflows that can be customized, covering case file summarization, chronology building and memo drafting, and integrates with iManage. Alexi took part in the 2025 Vals Legal AI Report, an independent third party benchmark, and publishes its scores. It was founded in Toronto and serves Canada and the United States.

AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the models and there is nothing left to sell.

AI Centrality

How much of the product is actually AI. Whether the machine learning is the mechanism the buyer is paying for or a feature layered onto conventional software, and whether the vendor is specific about which is which.

The AI is the product. The vendor describes itself as a private single tenant AI engine, built originally to generate evidence backed research memos, with a proprietary model layer and a retrieval first architecture. Remove the models and there is no product: memo generation, precedent finding, chronology building and workflow automation are all model driven.

AA on Citation Accuracy and Hallucination DisclosureMeasured accuracy is published with the test set described and the failure modes named. Output grounds to primary authority the reader can open, citation status is checked, and the system states when it found no support.

Citation Accuracy and Hallucination Disclosure

Whether the vendor publishes measured accuracy on citations and assertions, grounds output to primary sources, and says plainly what its system does when it does not know. Legal has a documented public record of fabricated citations reaching filed briefs, so an untested claim of accuracy is not evidence.

Accuracy is independently measured with a published method. Alexi submitted to the 2025 Vals Legal AI Report legal research study, run by an outside evaluator that published its rubric and weights in advance. Accuracy carried 50 percent, authoritativeness 40 percent and appropriateness 10 percent, across 200 US legal research questions from attorneys at named firms. In the evaluator's published results, Alexi scored a 77 percent weighted aggregate, second of the four systems measured, against a lawyer baseline of 69 percent.

The architecture is described as retrieval first, to ground output in primary law rather than model memory. Two qualifications apply, though the figures themselves are independent and can be checked. First, the vendor's own account is selective. It leads with 80 percent overall accuracy against a 71 percent lawyer baseline, and 79 percent accuracy on single jurisdiction questions described as tied for the highest. It does not state that it placed second on the weighted aggregate.

Second, several major vendors declined to take part and at least one withheld permission to publish, so the field is self selected. All systems measured struggled on questions spanning several jurisdictions and trailed a generalist model on fifty state statutory surveys.

CC on Autonomy and Oversight ModelAutonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a mechanism. Human in the loop appears as a phrase rather than a described control.

Autonomy and Oversight Model

What the system decides on its own, what a lawyer must approve, and whether the vendor documents where the review point sits. A tool that drafts under review and a tool that files without one are different products and different risks.

Autonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a described mechanism. The product runs workflows of several steps that carry legal principles and citations through successive stages. The vendor states that consistent, verifiable accuracy is what makes that automation safe, which is an argument for trusting the system rather than a control structure around it. The CEO has spoken publicly about human oversight in the context of a long term vision for AI assisted arbitration.

The vendor site, the FAQ, the workflow and product pages and the blog were searched. No description is published of what a workflow does unaided, a threshold at which it stops or escalates, a review surface given to a lawyer, or what the vendor commits to when an output is wrong. The product's stated advantage is that accuracy carries through each stage of an automated chain, so the absence of a published stopping rule is the main gap.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on Operational and Outcome EvidenceCustomer logos and unattributed testimonials stand in for evidence, or results are quoted with no basis stated.

Operational and Outcome Evidence

Named, dated evidence that the product works in production at real firms or legal departments. Case studies with figures and identified customers count. Unattributed testimonials and launch announcements do not.

Customer claims stand in for evidence. The vendor states it is trusted by leading law firms and names buyer roles: CIOs and CTOs, knowledge management leaders, innovation teams, practice group leaders and managing partners. That is a market description rather than a deployment record. The vendor site, the blog, the FAQ and the news announcements were searched. No named customer is published, no case study pairing an organization with figures and a date, and no method that could be assessed.

The strongest quantified material is benchmark performance rather than production outcome. The Vals figures show how the system performs on a test set, not what changed at a firm that deployed it.

AA on Privilege and Confidentiality PostureWritten commitments a buyer can read before signing: no training on client data, segregation documented at the level the buyer segment requires (matter level walls for a firm, tenant level separation for an in house team), privilege and work product handling addressed directly, retention and deletion stated, and the position on third party model providers made explicit.

Privilege and Confidentiality Posture

How client confidences are handled: attorney client privilege and work product treatment, segregation of one client matter from another, whether client data trains any model, and what the vendor commits to in writing rather than in marketing.

Two of the three parts are fully answered. On training, the vendor's FAQ states that nothing leaves the firm's private environment and that a firm's prompts, documents and workflow data never train global models and never mix with other firms. A document management partner's listing separately records no training on customer data. That answers both the training and pooling questions in plain terms. Segregation is the strongest element.

Every firm on the private cloud model receives a fully isolated single tenant instance, and the vendor lists what is isolated: retrieval, workflows, memory, security protocols and governance. Naming memory matters, because a platform that learns from firm usage could otherwise carry one firm's accumulated intelligence toward another. Supporting controls are AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.2 or higher, single sign on, role based access control and audit logs, under SOC 2 certification. The third part is not answered: no retention period or deletion commitment is published.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on UPL and Professional Responsibility PostureA boilerplate disclaimer sits in the terms while the marketing describes the product in advice terms, or the intended audience is left ambiguous.

UPL and Professional Responsibility Posture

Whether the vendor is clear that it supplies a tool rather than legal advice, who its audience is, and how it addresses unauthorized practice of law, competence and supervision duties, and jurisdiction limits. ABA Formal Opinion 512 is the reference point. Where the advice line is not the duty a product raises, the axis is read through the nearest professional duty it does raise: judicial conduct rules and the reviewing duty for products sold only to courts, and the duty to bill for time actually spent for products that draft time entries.

The audience is clearly lawyers and law firms, with named buyer roles inside firms and no consumer or non lawyer surface located. The vendor engages publicly with the problem of hallucination in filings and treats accuracy as a question of professional risk. The vendor site, the FAQ, the blog and the product pages were searched. No published position is published on the advice line, on competence or supervision duties, or on jurisdiction limits, although the product spans Canadian and US law, where the professional rules differ. The position can be inferred from who the product is sold to, but it is not published.

CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible AI principles are published without a mechanism, a testing regime, or anything a buyer could audit.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure

Published governance over model behavior: who owns it inside the vendor, what is tested before release, and what is disclosed about disparate output across matter types, parties, or populations.

Principles and evaluation results are published without a governance mechanism. The vendor submitted to an independent third party evaluation and published the results, and it argues publicly that transparency and accountability in legal AI require exactly that rather than marketing claims. Submitting to outside measurement is a governance act, but it is an evaluation at one point in time rather than a management system.

The vendor site, the FAQ, the blog and the news announcements were searched. No AI governance framework, AI management certification such as ISO 42001, named owner of model governance or testing gate before release is published, and nothing addresses uneven output across matter types, parties or populations.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on AI Safety and Data StewardshipSubstantive published policy covering most of the ground, short of the full set: commonly no named subprocessor list or no stated incident practice.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship

Retention, deletion, access control, and what happens to prompts and documents after they are processed. Whether the vendor states its subprocessors and its incident practice, or leaves the buyer to assume.

The vendor's security page and FAQ supply the control detail. Published: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, single sign on, role based access control, audit logs, support for private VPC deployment, and deployments in specific regions for firms operating across offices. Architectural isolation is the strongest element: a fully isolated single tenant instance per firm covering retrieval, workflows, memory, security protocols and governance.

SOC 2 certification underpins the control set, and a Trust Center offers a request route to a security addendum, architecture whitepaper, data processing agreement and audit reports. Not located: a stated retention period or deletion control for research queries, uploaded case files and generated memos, a named subprocessor list, and an incident or breach notification practice.

DD on AI Liability and RecourseNothing published on who bears the loss when the system is wrong.

AI Liability and Recourse

What the vendor stands behind contractually when its output is wrong. Indemnities, caps, carve outs, insurance, and whether any of it is published or only reachable through a negotiated agreement.

No published indemnity, liability cap, carve out, warranty on output or insurance position is published, and no customer terms of service or master agreement is published as published on the property. Recorded as a pure absence on the surfaces reached. Worth noting the shape of the gap: this vendor stakes its positioning on measured accuracy and on reducing the risk of hallucinated citations reaching a filing, and publishes nothing about who bears the loss if one does.

CC on Practice Systems Integration DepthIntegrations are listed as logos or marked as coming, with no documentation an implementer could use.

Practice Systems Integration Depth

How deeply the product reaches into the systems legal work already lives in: document management such as iManage and NetDocuments, Word and Outlook, contract lifecycle management, matter management, e-billing, and court filing systems.

One integration is named and none is documented. A product integration with iManage is announced, which is the document management connector that matters most for a research product used inside firms. The vendor site, the FAQ, the product pages and the news announcements were searched. No integrations index is published, no other named connector for practice management, court filing or Microsoft Word, and no documentation of what the iManage integration moves, in which direction, or what an administrator configures. The connection is announced rather than documented.

BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyDeployment model is stated clearly with partial residency detail, or residency is offered without the processing location being addressed, or the tenancy model is stated on its own with no residency detail published.

Deployment Model and Data Residency

Where the software runs and where the data sits. Multi tenant cloud, single tenant, private deployment, on premises, and whether region of residence is a published option or an enterprise conversation.

The deployment model is stated clearly, with partial residency detail. Two models are published. A private single tenant environment per firm is the default, and private cloud deployment is offered for firms wanting complete ownership and control of their own data. Single tenancy is stated as architecture rather than as an enterprise upsell. Geography is missing. The vendor site, the FAQ and the product pages were searched, and no named regions, customer selectable residency, or statement of where processing happens as distinct from where data is stored is published. That matters for a vendor operating across Canadian and US jurisdictions.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterCertification is real and stated, short of accessible evidence: a named standard without scope, date, or a way to obtain the report.

Security Certifications and Trust Center

Independent attestation a buyer can pull without a sales call: SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration test summaries, a trust center with current reports and named scope rather than a badge image.

The vendor publishes a dedicated security page stating SOC 2 certification and operates a Trust Center reached through a request access flow. It states the Trust Center carries a security addendum, an architecture whitepaper, a data processing agreement and audit reports. That is a self serve request route to substantive diligence material rather than a sales gate. SOC 2 certification is also stated on the vendor's platform pages, about page and FAQ, and in a document management partner's technology listing.

Supporting controls published on the FAQ: AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.2 or higher, single sign on, role based access control, audit logs and support for private VPC deployment. No coverage period, audit scope, report date, SOC 2 type or named auditing firm is published. The certification is asserted on marketing pages, and no certificate was seen.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe vendor refers to advanced or proprietary models without identifying what sits underneath.

Model Supply Chain Disclosure

Which models sit underneath, whose they are, where they run, and whether the vendor commits to telling customers when that changes. A legal buyer inherits every dependency it cannot see.

The vendor refers to proprietary models without identifying what sits underneath them. Published: a proprietary model layer the vendor brands as Alex, described as trained specifically on law rather than general purpose, and a retrieval first architecture. That tells a buyer the shape of the stack and that a specialist layer exists. Searched the vendor site, the FAQ, the product pages and the blog and located no named foundation model or provider underneath the proprietary layer, no statement of where models run, no subprocessor list, and no commitment to notify customers when the supply chain changes. A private single tenant environment narrows the exposure question without answering it.

Source: Vendor Published
DD on Commercial TransparencyNo pricing information published at any level, including the unit of charge.

Commercial Transparency

Whether a buyer can learn what this costs without entering a sales process: published rates, the unit being charged, what sits behind an enterprise tier, and what implementation adds.

No pricing page is published, no rate is published, no unit of charge is stated and no tier structure appears. Every commercial path located terminates in a demo or contact request. No free trial or self serve entry point is published, and no third party pricing figure is published either.

Source: Operator Verified
BB on Firm and Practice CoverageSegment and practice coverage is described with substance, short of the boundaries: what is supported is clear, what is not is left open.

Firm and Practice Coverage

Who the product is actually built for. AmLaw, midlaw, small firm and solo, in house departments, government and courts, and which practice areas are supported rather than merely claimed.

Segment and practice coverage are described with substance, without stated boundaries. The buyer is law firms, and the vendor names the roles inside them: CIOs and CTOs, knowledge management leaders, innovation teams, practice group leaders and managing partners. Practice coverage spans litigation, transactional, operational and administrative work, with a published treatment of personal injury covering case file summarization, chronology building and memo drafting.

Jurisdictional scope is Canada and the United States. Not located: any statement of which firm sizes or practice areas the product is not built for, and any list of coverage at state or provincial level, which for a research product is the boundary a buyer needs most.

Legal Signals

What each signal means

A signal records what public sources say on the date shown. It is not a grade and it is not a recommendation. Where a signal reads Not addressed, it means the index did not locate the material in public sources on that date, which is a statement about disclosure rather than about the product.

Confidentiality and Privilege

Client Data in Training

Can material a lawyer puts into this product be used to train a model?

Never, in policy only

A public policy or trust page states no training on customer content, with no matching term located in the published agreement.

The FAQ states that nothing leaves the firm's private environment and that a firm's prompts, documents and workflow data never train global models and never mix with other firms. A document management partner's technology listing separately records no training on customer data. Together these answer both questions: whether customer content trains the vendor's models, and whether one customer's material can benefit another.

The commitment sits on a public FAQ and a partner listing rather than in a customer agreement. The Trust Center is stated to carry a data processing agreement, which was not opened and may say more. The vendor's language about compounding intelligence is consistent with this: a firm's accumulated intelligence stays inside its own single tenant instance, which the vendor states includes memory.

Prompt and Output Retention

How long does the product keep what a lawyer typed, and can that be set to zero?

Not addressed

No located public material states how long prompts and outputs are retained.

Searched the vendor site, the FAQ, the product pages and the blog on 29 Aug 2026, and ran a targeted search for a security page or trust center. No public material states how long research queries, uploaded case files or generated memos are retained, whether a firm controls the window, or whether deletion is available. The vendor states the firm owns and controls its data within its private environment, which addresses who controls it rather than for how long it is held.

Material here includes uploaded case files and medical records by the vendor's own description of personal injury use, so the retention question is sharp.

Source: Operator VerifiedAs of Aug 29, 2026

Ethical Walls and Matter Segregation

Does retrieval respect the firm’s ethical walls, or can the model read across them?

Own model, documented

The product maintains its own permission model, documented, requiring the firm to keep it aligned.

The product maintains its own documented separation model, and between customers it is architectural rather than a matter of policy. Each firm receives a private single tenant AI environment, with private cloud deployment available. That is strong separation between firms. Separation inside a firm, where ethical walls operate, is not addressed. No material was located on whether retrieval respects permissions per user at matter level.

The iManage integration is announced without any statement that it inherits that system's access model at query time. For a product used inside firms that connects to a document management system, that is the open question.

Third Party Request and Subpoena Notice

If someone subpoenas the vendor for a firm’s data, does the firm hear about it first?

Not addressed

No located term or policy addresses third party requests for customer data.

Searched the vendor site, the FAQ, the product pages and the blog on 29 Aug 2026, and ran a targeted search for published terms, a privacy policy or a trust center. No clause committing to notify a firm of a government or law enforcement request for its data was located, and no transparency report was located. No published customer agreement or data processing agreement was reached on the property.

Accuracy and Authority

Primary Law Corpus Provenance

Where does the law in this product come from, and does the vendor have the right to use it?

Jurisdictions only

Coverage is described by jurisdiction with no identification of the underlying corpus.

Coverage is described by jurisdiction, and the underlying corpus is not identified. The benchmark the product was measured on asks questions requiring reference to US federal and state laws, regulations and judgments. Vendor material describes analyzing millions of documents, including case law, statutes and secondary sources, across Canada and the United States. The vendor site, the FAQ, the product pages and the blog were searched on 29 Aug 2026.

No named source or publisher for the primary law was located, no license or public domain basis, no coverage list by jurisdiction, and no update cadence or lag. For a research product provenance matters most here, and the strongest published statement is a volume claim.

Good Law Verification

Does the product tell you when the authority it just cited has been overruled?

Not addressed

No located public material addresses whether authority is checked for subsequent history.

The vendor site, the FAQ, the product and workflow pages and the blog were searched on 29 Aug 2026. No material was located on whether returned authority carries a treatment signal, whether subsequent history is checked, or whether any commercial citator is licensed. The vendor's published accuracy work concerns whether a cited authority is valid and real, measured as the rate of valid primary law citation. That is a different question from whether the authority is still good law. For a research product, this check sits inside the product's own design.

Refusal and Uncertainty Behavior

What does the product do when the answer is not in the corpus?

Not addressed

No located public material addresses what the product does when it cannot ground an answer.

Searched the vendor site, the FAQ, the product and workflow pages and the blog on 29 Aug 2026. No published material describes what the product does when it cannot ground an answer, and no explicit no answer path was located. The vendor does state that each firm gets its own accuracy signals, which suggests some confidence surface exists in the product, but nothing located describes what those signals are, whether they are exposed to the user, or how they behave when retrieval returns nothing.

Recorded as not addressed rather than at the confidence value because the signals are mentioned without being described.

Fabricated Citation Record

Does a public court record exist addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations in output from this product?

None located

No court order, opinion or disciplinary record addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations produced by this product has been located as of the date shown. This is a statement about the public record on that one subject, not a finding about the product, and this signal is not a litigation history.

No court order, opinion or disciplinary record naming this product has been located as of 29 Aug 2026. The AI Hallucination Cases database maintained by Damien Charlotin was searched; it tracks court decisions worldwide involving hallucinated AI content and records the AI tool implicated where known. Published 2026 sanctions summaries and secondary sanctions trackers were also checked. The entries located name filers, and in some rows other products, rather than this one.

This is a statement about the public record on the date shown, not a clearance. The exposure is real: this is a litigation research product whose output is memos and precedent for filings, so its output can reach a court as cited authority.

Professional Responsibility

Bar Guidance Alignment

Has the vendor engaged in public with the ethics opinions its buyers are bound by?

Not addressed

No located public material engages with bar or ethics guidance.

Searched the vendor site, the FAQ, the blog and the news announcements on 29 Aug 2026. No engagement with any named ethics opinion or professional guidance was located, including ABA Formal Opinion 512, US state bar guidance, and Law Society of Ontario or Federation of Law Societies of Canada guidance given the vendor's Canadian base. The vendor publishes substantial material on the rise of hallucinated citations in filings and on the professional risk that creates, which engages with the consequence the guidance addresses without engaging with the guidance itself.

Source: Operator VerifiedAs of Aug 29, 2026

Billing and Fee Posture

Does the vendor address what happens to the bill when the work takes an hour instead of six?

Savings claims only

Public materials claim time savings without addressing billing or disclosure, and the product sits inside a fee relationship between a lawyer and a client where those savings would change the bill.

Savings are claimed and nothing is published on the client's side. The vendor cites fewer corrections and fewer write offs, a stated 13 percent accuracy lift that reduces the time lawyers spend revising AI output, and cutting costs while freeing time for more valuable work. Write offs are a billing concept, so the vendor is explicitly linking AI quality to what a firm can bill. The vendor site, the FAQ, the blog and the news announcements were searched on 29 Aug 2026.

No per matter record of AI assisted work intended for fee purposes was located, and no guidance on billing, fee or client disclosure treatment. The buyer is a law firm billing clients by the hour, so the question applies squarely.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Aug 29, 2026Evidence

Outside Counsel Guideline Readiness

Can a firm get this vendor through a client’s AI clause without a bespoke negotiation?

On request only

The material exists behind a sales conversation or an executed agreement.

A Trust Center exists, reached through a request access flow on the vendor's security page, and the vendor states it carries a security addendum, an architecture whitepaper, a data processing agreement and audit reports. A DPA and audit reports are what a firm responding to a client AI clause needs. The specific item such a clause asks for was not located as of 29 Aug 2026: no subprocessor list and no statement identifying which model providers see client content.

The private single tenant architecture is a partial answer, since it bears on where client content goes, and the vendor offers a route through which a firm could obtain the supporting documents.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Aug 29, 2026Evidence

Court Disclosure Support

If a judge’s standing order requires an AI disclosure, can the product produce one?

Partial record

Some elements of the record are available, short of a document level export.

Some elements of a disclosure record are available. Output is evidence backed by design: memos cite primary law, and the vendor publishes an independently measured rate of valid primary law citation. What was relied on is visible in the work product, and its reliability has an external figure attached. Vendor material also describes citations carrying through each stage of a workflow. Two elements are missing. No export per document covering model used, sources retrieved and human verification together was located, and the model is described only as a proprietary layer, so the model used could not be stated. Output from this product plausibly reaches a filing, so a judicial order requiring AI disclosure could apply to it.
