Legora CTO discusses AI agents for legal work, data privacy challenges

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Legora, a legal tech company, has developed AI agents capable of performing a significant portion of legal work, despite not having direct access to client data. CTO Jacob Lauritzen explained that these agents can draft and edit documents, review large volumes of contracts, and coordinate tasks between lawyers and clients. The company initially used ChatGPT but now employs a model picker to select the best AI for specific legal tasks, favoring concise models like Astra over more conversational ones like Fable and Opus for drafting. Legora's approach to testing and development involves simulating customer environments, which has led to significant improvements in agent performance, such as a jump in citation accuracy from 70% to 99% after a single model release.
