Direct answer
What is Kira?
Kira is Litera's contract review platform combining predictive and generative AI to extract deal provisions, run cross-document queries, and streamline transaction due diligence.
Kira, developed by Litera, is an enterprise contract review and intelligence solution tailored for high-stakes, high-volume transactions including M&A, banking, and commercial real estate. The software unites predictive machine learning models with generative AI to identify provisions, obligations, and deal risks across thousands of agreements. The application arrives with more than 1,400 pre-built extraction fields trained by lawyers, alongside workflow tools that allow legal teams to train bespoke, deal-specific extraction parameters. Reviewers can interrogate entire contract repositories using natural-language search via Grid Chat, which produces answers verified against underlying contract text. Findings are organized in collaborative review grids where team members compare clauses, flag compliance risks, and compile export-ready summary deliverables without manually stitching spreadsheets together. Kira also incorporates Lito, an orchestration layer offering structured review templates and automated diligence reporting at no extra charge, and connects into existing legal tech stacks including Microsoft 365, Litera Transact, HighQ, and Intralinks.
Pairs over 1,400 pre-configured, lawyer-trained extraction fields with multi-contract natural language Q&A and direct source-text citations for audit-grade verification.
