Litera’s effort to dominate the whole workflow continues with multiple announcements dropping in advance of the the International Legal Technology Association annual convention. It’s all part of their “Road to ILTACON” series, allowing them to get their launches out before the cacophony of excited announcements during the show itself.
As a sequel to the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby movies, Road to ILTACON lacks a bit of the zeal of Zanzibar, but we’ll roll with it.
First up is Kira, the darling of contract review nerds, is getting a GenAI makeover, embedding “a comprehensive end-to-end suite” of artificial intelligence directly into the product. “Generative Smart Fields” provides a no-code avenue to create new custom smart fields beyond the 1400 Kira-vetted fields. Kira will also use AI to allow teams to use one example to identify legal concepts across documents. They also overhauled the user experience with a tabular layout providing teams with an “overview of risks and trends across all documents in a clean, intuitive layout.”
The company also announced Lito, an AI agent integrated into Litera One “built to support legal workflows by aligning relevant capabilities with user intent, helping deliver informed outcomes through timely access to the right data in the right context.” Lito is described as “a virtual team member,” which is a fun way of saying “won’t complain about their bonus.”
• Chat with Doc Viewer: Lito’s always-available chat bar serves as both the gateway to the Litera skill ecosystem and a powerful document analysis tool—enabling users to interact with content, surface insights, and trigger workflows in real time.
• Analyze in Grid: Lito’s grid is a dynamic matrix interface that enables users to run multiple prompts across multiple documents simultaneously. It delivers a streamlined validation experience through an integrated document viewer, making it easy to review, compare, and confirm extracted insights with precision and efficiency.
• Compare: Litera’s market-leading comparison functionality detects changes between any two documents in seconds—across formats including Word, PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint. It supports 1:1, 1:Many, and bulk comparisons, presenting results in a clear, intuitive layout. Leverage Lito’s Compare AI to summarize changes, analyze risk, evaluate mitigations, and rewrite clauses.
• Search Experience: With Foundation as your firm’s data backbone, Lito enables natural language access to connected client, matter, lawyer, and third-party profiles. This skill puts your organized experience data at your fingertips—helping you find precedent matters faster, tailor responses, and drive smarter decisions without leaving your workflow.
• Review Terms: Interact with Word documents and PDFs using Lito’s built-in definition lookup that streamlines contract review.
• Legal Skills: Complete key legal tasks, such as running form checks on regulated documents, generating interim period and post-closing timelines, and creating open items lists.
And just today, Litera announced new improvements to its Litera Draft, including a currently in beta product called Precedent that uses AI (of course) to “discover better precedent language and relevant deal point insights to strengthen document quality, and lead negotiations with data-driven authority.” Its integration of Peppermint’s offerings continues by removing toggling and context-switching.
Clean (née Metadact) is now available in the cloud too. That’s the tool that allows for one-click metadata cleanup to protect sensitive information. It’s the sort of tool that the Trump administration is really wishing they had before blasting out that Epstein prison surveillance tapes!
And this isn’t even the final announcement on the Road to ILTACON. Stay tuned.
