Irys, Legal AI

What Irys, Legal AI does

Irys (formerly Iqidis) is a legal AI platform built by practicing BigLaw attorneys, designed to operate like an associate. It handles complex drafting, analysis, and research while learning the user's unique style. Rather than simply generating text, Irys leverages user precedents and proprietary systems to produce high-quality, consistent work products. The platform offers everything in one place for solos to teams, aiming to recover significant attorney time and save costs by unifying workflows and replacing multiple subscriptions. Irys is built on a multi-layered architecture for legal analysis, pulling structured context from matters, planning research, and verifying citations against primary sources, all on Irys-controlled infrastructure with zero data retention.

Products

• Irys OneThe unified legal AI platform for modern legal work, encompassing research, drafting, document comparison, template automation, and e-signatures. It provides a single, AI-powered environment where every workflow shares the same matter context.
• AI AssistantYour legal copilot for every matter, allowing users to ask questions, run agentic research with inline citations, and use quick actions. It is matter-aware, inheriting full context from uploaded documents, and offers dual search (keyword and AI) with three modes: Agent investigation, Research, and Deep Research.
• DraftingAn editor that thinks like a lawyer, working from the same documents, research, and matter history as the rest of the platform. It turns instructions into polished legal work, with AI edits appearing as tracked changes and formatting built for legal documents.
• ResearchAllows users to run natural language or boolean research across U.S. case law. It includes Cite Check to verify every citation against 50M+ real cases and produces memo-quality reports with inline citations.
• MattersA single workspace for every case or deal, serving as the shared container for documents, chats, research, drafts, and knowledge. It provides unlimited document uploads per matter and shared context across all workflow surfaces.
• CompareEnables instant redlining of two documents to understand changes, with the output connected to the matter. It offers side-by-side or unified redline views and an AI summary of material changes.
• LibraryThe firm's system of record for templates, precedents, and case files. It offers AI-powered search across every document and allows sharing firmwide or keeping private.
• Word Add-InIntegrates Irys functionality directly into Microsoft Word, allowing users to analyze, draft, review, and revise from a sidebar. It connects to the same intelligence layer as the full platform, offering chat and work modes within Word.
• Irys TeamsDesigned for small firms (2-50 attorneys), it includes all Irys One features plus shared workspaces, matter-level team chat, firm-wide playbooks, role-based permissions, and admin controls.
• Irys EnterpriseFor larger firms, in-house legal teams, and corporate legal departments (25+ seats), offering SSO, white-labeling, dedicated success management, and custom contracts with MSA/DPA terms.
• Irys LiteAn on-ramp for lawyers exploring legal AI, offering the full platform with caps on AI questions and storage, designed for evaluation rather than daily practice.
• Irys StudentA plan specifically for law students, with usage caps similar to Irys Lite.
• Cite CheckVerifies every citation against 50M+ real cases, flagging overruled, distinguished, or non-existent citations. Covers all federal circuits, district courts, and 50 state courts.
• Multi-Doc AnalysisAnalyzes up to 50 documents against the same question set simultaneously, extracting key facts, dates, monetary figures, and witness references with citations back to source text, exportable as spreadsheets or reports.
• Template BuilderBuilds reusable document templates with dynamic fields for fast, consistent output.

AI approach

Irys is an agentic system built for legal analysis with a multi-layered architecture. It pulls structured context from matters, plans research, verifies citations against primary sources, and produces cite-ready memos. The majority of AI processing runs on Irys-controlled infrastructure. When foundation models are used, only an encrypted ephemeral token is sent, and client content is never transmitted or retained. Irys emphasizes that it is not a wrapper on a general model but publishes original AI research on its architecture. It uses RAG, OCR, and a matter-centric Knowledge Graph to provide context before invoking AI models for narrow inference.
