OpenAI launches Astra for Law, targeting the 200 biggest US law firms

@BusinessInsiderOpenAI is targeting the nation's top law firms with new advanced legal AI tools. This move intensifies its rivalry with Anthropic and marks its push into industry-specific AI. https://bit.ly/4dGRuS4

@OpenAIAstra for Law: Frontier intelligence built for your practice. A new offering powered by GPT-6 Astra with tools, settings, and context to support the expertise and judgment of lawyers and legal technology firms.

@OpenAIAstra for Law pairs GPT-6 Astra with instructions for legal analysis and writing, settings for thorough work, and a new Legal Search Index. The index searches U.S. case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, and administrative decisions across more than 230 million URLs—with sources added daily. That helps lawyers move from the facts of a matter to relevant authorities and supporting passages they can examine themselves.

@OpenAIWe’re also launching 26 partner-built plugins and 47 community plugins for legal work in ChatGPT. Partners including @thomsonreuters, @harvey, @WeAreLegora, and @imanageinc connect specialist tools and knowledge. Community plugins built by lawyers and legal engineers give firms skills they can adapt and extend. The plugins bring more ways to build with the tools, knowledge, and people firms already rely on.

@OpenAIThe people who know the work should shape the tools. With our engineers, Sullivan & Cromwell built an agreement analyzer, Ropes & Gray built an M&A diligence system, and Cooley built GO Public for IPO preparation. Each brings the firm’s expertise into workflows its lawyers can review, challenge, and refine. We’re also expanding privacy and governance controls for eligible firms through Trusted Access.

@OpenAIAstra for Law will initially be offered to selected firms through Trusted Access in ChatGPT and Codex, with API access coming soon. We’ll maintain the legal configuration so builders can focus on their own products and workflows. We’ll build the next chapter of Astra for Law alongside the lawyers and legal technology partners who put it into practice. https://openai.com/index/astra-for-law/

@harveyHarvey is proud to support the launch of Astra for Law. Harvey’s plugin within ChatGPT Enterprise gives lawyers a new way to access Harvey directly from ChatGPT. With the plugin, Harvey will also be able to build on the new legal configuration, bringing its capabilities into Harvey's products.
