At a glance
What it does
Kira is an AI contract intelligence tool built for high-volume document review, such as M&A due diligence. Deal teams use it to pull key provisions out of large contract sets, using more than 1,400 pre-built fields plus custom fields a team can train. Grid Chat lets a team ask plain-language questions across a whole document set. Kira blends older, trained AI models with newer generative AI for its answers, and the company reports over 95 percent precision on target contract terms, close to a senior lawyer's accuracy. Litera, a legal software company, acquired Kira in 2021. It works inside Microsoft 365 and connects with Litera Transact, HighQ, and Intralinks.
Where it can help
This fits a deal team doing frequent due diligence, like M&A, real estate, or finance work; law firms and corporate legal teams reviewing large document sets are the typical buyers. Litera does not publish pricing for Kira, so ask for a quote scoped to your deal volume and user count, and note that customers already using Litera's Lito due diligence tool get Kira at no extra cost, worth checking before requesting a separate quote. A good pilot is running one closed deal's documents back through Kira and checking its extraction accuracy against your team's own review. The main risk is fit, since Kira is built for high-volume review work and a team with only occasional due diligence needs may not see enough use to justify the cost.
