AI for lawyers:
research you can open, a case file read whole, a draft in Word

Every tool looks good in a demo. These tests run on your own matter, in an afternoon.

It asks only for what the document cannot do without: up to three questions, one at a time, each with two to four answers to pick from and an “Other” option. Anything secondary becomes a bracketed placeholder in the draft. The checklist it works from:

Most failures of legal AI begin the same way: the tool worked from a description of the matter instead of from the matter. A good AI for lawyers does three jobs, in order. It reads the case file. It finds the authority and shows where it comes from. It writes the document the lawyer would have written, in the register the court expects. RuleX is organized around that order: the file goes in first, research runs on top of it, and the draft is written in the Canvas with both within reach.

RuleX is directed by a practicing trial lawyer who uses it every day, and the workflow shows it. The Drafter asks the questions a senior lawyer asks before assigning a draft. It writes in paragraphs with connectors, the way a litigator does, and keeps lists for the places where the craft calls for them, such as claims and evidence.

The same workspace holds the matter’s tasks, dates and log; the transcription of the hearing, with speakers separated and roles you assign; e-signature with a six-digit code sent by email and a certificate anyone can verify; twelve PDF tools that run in the browser, so those files never leave your computer; and a case summary the AI refreshes as documents arrive.

Because these tools share one memory, nothing is re-explained. In Colombia, the PDF of each docket entry joins the matter’s folder, where the Drafter can read it. A hearing recording attached to the chat or added to a Project becomes a document the Drafter can read, and can become the first draft of a settlement. A signed document goes back into the matter it belongs to.

A task a firm repeats can become its own tool. In Apps and agents you describe what you need (a guided form with review steps, a chat app with your own instructions, or a small interactive tool) and RuleX proposes the structure. You run it on a real matter and publish the version you tested. Colleagues open it through a link that expires, and inside an Enterprise organization it appears under “Your firm” for every member. The whole build happens in plain language.

Table Review is available in every country: one document per row, one question per column, and the evidence behind each cell. Twenty-five contracts and four questions (expiry date, termination clause, liability cap, governing law) become a table of 100 answers, each with its evidence, that you can export to Excel; one run takes up to twenty-five documents and twenty questions.

Rather than rank anyone, the table below records what each platform says on its own site about price and trial, read on October 29 and 30, 2026. Each has a real strength. Harvey describes agents for multi-step legal work and says more than 3,500 legal organizations use it. Legora presents an operating system for legal work with Word and Outlook add-ins. CoCounsel integrates with Westlaw and Practical Law, and Thomson Reuters reports one million users across professions. Spellbook concentrates on contracts inside Word. Thomson Reuters publishes online pricing for firms of up to ten attorneys, and Paxton and GC AI publish a price.

For a lawyer who wants the price in writing before talking to anyone, who works in Spanish or Portuguese, or who practices outside the United States, RuleX is the platform that fits: it publishes the price in every market, opens with an email address and seven days without a card, and researches the official sources of the country where the case is.

Every plan includes research, the Drafter, Projects, Apps and agents, the Deadline calculator and the PDF tools. Student is the entry plan at $29.90 a month in the United States and COP 30,000 in Colombia. The middle plan (Standard in the United States, Pro elsewhere) adds hearing transcription at five a day, e-signature at two documents a day and billable-hours tracking. Ultra raises the daily allowance, gives 50 In depth answers a day, 20 transcriptions a day and e-signature with no daily cap. Use is not sold in credits.

The answer mode is yours to choose: Direct for a quick read, Balanced by default, In depth when the research has to be wide. Firms that need clients, roles, teams and billing talk to us about Enterprise.

Documents are not used to train models. The copy the AI processes is requested with a one-hour expiry; the original stays in your storage and is served through short-lived signed links. Matter content is not sold or shared, and traffic is encrypted in transit. The security page lists the details.

Bar guidance asks lawyers to understand the tools they use, protect client confidentiality and review the output. In the United States the reference is ABA Formal Opinion 512, issued July 29, 2024. RuleX is built for that review: every source is one click from the answer, and every file is editable.

More than 4,000 registered professionals in 20 countries work in RuleX. The platform has read more than 60,000 documents and 700,000 pages, including 400,000 pages of scans through OCR, and its Drafter has produced more than 4,000 documents and 8 million words.
