Legora uses OpenAI models for first-pass legal review and broader analysis
OpenAI says Legora is building an agentic operating system for legal work on top of OpenAI models and coding agents. The October 28, 2026 post says Legora uses AI to speed up workflows such as large-scale document review, and that its own legal team built a playbook for first-pass NDA review that flags terms outside accepted parameters. OpenAI attributes the capacity estimate to Legora’s general counsel, who said the team’s time spent reviewing those routine documents fell from about 20% of legal capacity to under 1% after the workflow was introduced. The source also says lawyers still review and interpret AI output, including in M&A diligence, so the system is presented as assisted review rather than full automation.
