Where OurFirm.ai wins
What you get that ChatGPT doesn't.
No hallucinated citations before filing
Sanctions from hallucinated LLM citations are documented in matters such as Mata v. Avianca. OurFirm.ai verifies every citation before you file.
Client data is not training data
OurFirm.ai holds contractual no-training commitments and per-firm isolation. Consumer LLM plans may use prompts to improve models depending on the product and plan.
Enterprise-grade security by design
OurFirm.ai's architecture was designed around US attorney-client confidentiality and the February 2026 federal privilege landscape, with per-firm isolation and contractual data terms; general LLMs were not.
Judicial intelligence that general LLMs lack
OurFirm.ai can surface how a specific federal judge tends to rule on motions and grant oral argument, drawn from a proprietary dataset a general LLM does not have.
Minimal prompting — the legal mind is built in
ChatGPT needs long, carefully engineered prompts to get legal work right, and often several rounds of refining. OurFirm.ai has legal reasoning and case workflows built in, so it produces excellent, court-ready output from a simple request — no prompt engineering, no refining the same task dozens of times.
Our own data and search, not a rented database
OurFirm.ai runs on its own nationwide caselaw database, docket data, trial transcripts, and thousands of document templates, searched with retrieval we built for law. General models have no legal database at all and search the open web, so they can't ground answers in real caselaw or dockets. Owning both the data and the search means more accurate, court-ready results — and that dataset is our moat.
Built by a litigator
Why litigators need their own AI
If you are weighing OurFirm.ai against ChatGPT, the difference that matters most is who it was built for. OurFirm.ai produces work product ready for a judge and a filing deadline, not general legal text you have to reshape for the courtroom.
General legal AI platforms and general-purpose models are built for breadth: many practice areas, many use cases, one tool for everyone. Litigation is different. It runs on the record, the docket, the rules of a specific court, and the tendencies of a specific judge.
OurFirm.ai was built by a trial attorney to work the way litigators actually work. That experience is embedded directly into how the platform drafts, researches, and verifies, so the output reflects courtroom reality rather than generic legal text.

Where ChatGPT may fit better
We're not for every practice.
- Internal brainstorming, memo drafts, and client-communication drafts that a lawyer reviews carefully before anything is filed or sent.
- Non-legal or general research tasks where citation accuracy and privilege are not at stake.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is it safe to use ChatGPT for litigation filings?
General-purpose LLMs can hallucinate citations, which has led to documented court sanctions. They should not be used for anything filed without independent verification. OurFirm.ai verifies every citation before filing and is grounded in US dockets and judicial data.
How is OurFirm.ai different from ChatGPT or Claude?
OurFirm.ai is a litigation system, not a general chatbot. It verifies citations, searches PACER and NYSCEF dockets, builds federal judge profiles, and isolates client data by contract. General LLMs offer none of these litigation-specific guarantees.
When should I still use a general LLM?
General LLMs are useful for internal memos, first-draft client communications, and non-filing research that a subject-matter expert reviews before use. For court-bound work, use a verified litigation platform.
Security & compliance
Enterprise-grade security, without the enterprise overhead
Being purpose-built for client matters does not mean trading away security. OurFirm.ai runs the same controls the largest firms require, and client documents are never used to train AI models. That is a contractual commitment, not a setting you have to find and switch on.
Visit the Trust Center →No training on client data
Contractual no-training terms with our AI subprocessors. Your matters never enter a training pipeline.
Per-firm and per-matter isolation
Data is isolated by firm, attorney, and conversation, so nothing is co-mingled across clients.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
TLS 1.3 protects data in transit and AES-256 protects it at rest, with no exceptions for AI traffic.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR aligned
SOC 2 Type I is complete and Type II is underway. HIPAA-aligned BAA and GDPR/CCPA-aligned DPA available under NDA.
