Magnar

Everything turns on the agent. A lawyer states an objective, Magnar breaks it into stages of reading, research and drafting, and the lawyer adjusts or approves the plan before it runs. It then reads the full case file, retrieves legislation and case law with citations, works in the websites it needs and leaves a structured document with its sources. Case analysis takes files of up to 10,000 pages and answers questions, builds timelines and drafts from them, while tabular review pulls defined fields from hundreds of documents into one table.

Sidechat works on the document that is open, Compare explains the changes between two versions, and Monitor runs an agent every hour over official sources and keeps only the findings that meet a lawyer's condition. Vaults and electronic signature are conventional modules sold inside the same subscription, and every document stored in Vaults is open to the assistant.

Research answers keep each conclusion tied to the decision, regulation or official document behind it, and the original text opens in one click. The Chilean database lists its sources by name, from the Supreme Court, the Courts of Appeals and the Constitutional Court to the CMF, the SII, the Comptroller General, the Labor Directorate and the environmental tribunals. Magnar counts more than 70 million laws and court decisions across the region, and the coverage of sources, courts and periods varies by country.

Clause 3.4 of the terms says the AI is probabilistic and can produce errors and hallucinations. No accuracy rate, test set or failure analysis is published.

Approval points are built into each mode. A plan appears before any run, and the lawyer can adjust or approve it. Copilot proposes an action on the contract, case or vault on screen and carries it out only once the lawyer approves. In Word, edits arrive as tracked changes. When the agent works in a court or registry site, the lawyer watches the browser live and can take over at any point, and portal sign ins need the lawyer's own credentials.

Scheduled tasks run with the app closed and alert only when something changes. The terms make the client, as a legal professional, responsible for reviewing and validating every output before it goes into a filing, a contract or advice. Filing a brief through a court's electronic filing system is among the tasks shown. Whether that step needs its own approval, a confidence threshold at which work stops, and recovery after an error are not described.

About 30,000 users and 350 law firms worked with Magnar in September 2026, a little over a year after it started, and more than 23,000 lawyers in Chile use it by its count. Partners at three firms are quoted by name and on video. Roberto Lewin of Barros Silva Varela & Vigil speaks about the effect on associates and on hiring. Diego Rodríguez of A/C/R Legal talks about the changing role of lawyers, and Germán Barrios of Bafur Abogados calls AI a vital tool for firms.

None of the quotes carries a figure, a date or a measured result, and no case study with outcomes is published. The research product's promise of hundreds of hours saved each month comes with no method or customer behind it.

Training is settled in writing. Clause 6.6 licenses customer content to Magnar only to process it for the service and states that Magnar will not use it to train its models or share it with other customers. Under the privacy policy, content is processed transiently and each organization's data is visible only to its own users. Magnar's agreements with model providers such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic bar training, and any provider retention is limited to abuse monitoring for at most 30 days.

Stored history stays until the user deletes it and is erased within 30 days of account closure. Privilege and work product are not addressed by name, and separation inside a firm runs on Magnar's own folder permissions rather than matter walls.

Clause 3.3 of the terms describes Magnar as a technology assistant, not a law firm, and rules out legal representation and legal advice. Clause 3.4 states that the AI is probabilistic and can produce errors. It makes the client, as a legal professional, solely responsible for reviewing and validating any output before using it in a legal document, a filing or advice to anyone. The product is sold to lawyers, firms and legal departments, with a free plan and student pricing. Supervision of staff, competence duties and the jurisdictions where output may be relied on are not addressed.

ISO 42001, the AI management system standard, is in progress. Magnar describes it as covering transparency, fairness and accountability with controls for bias and explainability, and its trust center lists the certification as under way. The same trust center publishes more than 40 policies and controls, from secure development and change management to breach notification and personnel screening. No AI policy, release testing, accountable owner or finding about how output varies across countries, courts or practice areas is published.

Retention is set out by data type. User content is processed transiently. Stored history and case files remain until the user deletes them, and everything is erased securely within 30 days of account closure unless a legal hold applies. Model providers may keep content for abuse monitoring for no more than 30 days. Data is encrypted with AES 256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, administrative staff work on least privilege access with multifactor authentication, and penetration tests run periodically.

Subprocessors appear in the trust center with entity, country, service, data types and storage location, a list last updated on 25 September 2026. Among them are Google's Gemini API, AWS hosting and Amazon Bedrock, MongoDB Atlas, GitHub, ElevenLabs and Google Workspace. As a provider registered with Chile's National Cybersecurity Agency, Magnar notifies an affected user within three hours of a confirmed breach.

Under the terms of 6 April 2026, governed by Chilean law, total liability is capped at the fees the client paid in the 12 months before the event, and lost profit, lost opportunity and indirect damages are excluded. Magnar warrants that it will provide the service professionally and use commercially reasonable efforts to keep it available. Otherwise the platform is offered as is, with no promise that legal analysis is accurate, complete or binding.

Against third party claims that the platform infringes intellectual property, Magnar defends the client, provided the client gives prompt notice and hands over the defense. No carve outs from the cap, no insurance and no remedy for wrong output are stated.

A Word add in analyzes the open document and proposes edits as tracked changes, and Magnar also works in Outlook. Google Drive connects on paid plans, while OneDrive, NetDocuments and iManage are listed as coming soon. Magnar Drive mirrors Vaults in Finder or File Explorer. A lawyer edits a file in Word, Magnar records the new version on save, permissions stay in Magnar, and files download only when needed. Client datarooms let a client sign in by email to the folders the firm shares.

Court, registry and apostille sites are reached through the agent's own browser, and Google Workspace sign on and Gmail access are optional. The Enterprise plan adds custom integrations, with no description of what they move.

Lawyers reach the product in a browser or through desktop and mobile apps, as cloud software. Each organization's data is isolated from other Magnar users. Hosting, the database and model inference run in the United States on AWS, MongoDB Atlas and Google, and the privacy policy covers processing outside Chile through adequacy findings or standard contractual clauses. No regional hosting choice, private deployment or difference between tiers in where data sits is offered.

ISO 27001:2022 certification covers the servers, databases, internal processes and handling of customer information, and a SOC 2 Type 2 report covers security, availability and confidentiality controls over a period. Compliance status, controls and more than 40 policies sit in a trust center, with documents released through a request access step. The auditor and the report period are not shown. ISO 42001 is in progress.

The subprocessor list names Google's Gemini API and AWS with Amazon Bedrock for model inference, both in the United States. The privacy policy names OpenAI, Google and Anthropic as examples of model providers used through enterprise APIs under zero retention agreements. Users choose between General, Light and Pro modes, and the specific models behind each are not named. Customers can subscribe to the trust center for notice of subprocessor changes, the list last changing on 25 September 2026, though no notice period for a change of model is committed.

Prices are published for individuals and teams. Free gives 5 credits a month with no card, and Plus costs $50 a month with 30 credits a week, three modes, a document library, Google Drive and one monitor. Team seats are priced per user each month in UF, the Chilean unit of account, plus VAT, with unlimited users and a two week free trial. Base is 0.5 UF with 10 weekly credits, Plus 1.5 UF with 40 and Pro 5.25 UF with 130.

Credits pay for questions and file processing. Extra use on team plans is billed at whichever costs less, extra credits or the next plan up, and price rises need 30 days' notice. Enterprise is quoted, and there are no setup fees.

Lawyers, law firms and corporate legal departments use the product in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador and Costa Rica, and Brazil and Mexico are opening with local teams and offices. Visitors from other countries are told it is not yet available there. Research depth follows each country's sources. In Chile those span civil, criminal and labor courts, tax, financial market, competition, environmental, consumer and social security bodies, and the Inter American Court of Human Rights.

Availability of sources, courts and periods varies by jurisdiction. Students get a validated discount on individual plans, and teams of any size can mix seat levels. Which practice areas fall outside the product is not stated.
