Definely vs AI Lawyer

Definely is a LegalTech platform built for lawyers who review complex contracts in Microsoft Word. The company offers a suite of Word add-ins that help legal teams navigate definitions, proof documents, track ripple effects from edits, search precedents, and ask questions about contract language without leaving the document.

The product grew out of a real accessibility challenge. Co-founder Feargus MacDaeid, a former Magic Circle lawyer who is registered blind, could not move through long contracts the way sighted colleagues could. Definely started as a way to reach defined terms and cross-references from inside a clause, then expanded into broader contract review workflows.

Law firms and in-house legal teams use Definely to cut review time, keep formatting consistent, and reduce risk in negotiations. The company reports more than 150 customers worldwide, including firms such as Dentons, A&O Shearman, and DLA Piper plus in-house teams at KPMG, Samsung, and BT Group.

AI Lawyer answers legal questions, summarizes contracts, and drafts letters for consumers, students, and practicing attorneys through a chat assistant. The homepage pitches web, iOS, and Android access with internet-powered research, document uploads, and Ask AI Lawyer conversations. New users get a free trial after signing up with Google, Apple, or email.

Traditional legal research platforms charge per seat and focus on firm workflows. AI Lawyer targets individuals and small teams with weekly or monthly subscriptions starting at $9.99, plus free legal templates and clause generators on the marketing site. That makes it cheaper for quick consumer letters, but it is not a substitute for licensed counsel on high-stakes matters.

Freelancers, law students, and solo attorneys use it to decode jargon, draft demand letters, and automate boilerplate clauses. The pricing page lists $19.99 per month as the most popular plan with a 24-hour trial, while students and teachers can claim a 50% discount inside the app. Support is available 24/7 according to the homepage, and refunds go through [email protected].
