Scoring reflects publicly documented capabilities as of the date shown. Cells marked for review are OurFirm.ai's read of Spellbook's public materials, not statements from Spellbook. Spellbook is a transactional contract tool, so litigation capabilities it does not claim are scored none because they are outside its scope, not because it does them poorly.
Where OurFirm.ai wins
What you get that Spellbook doesn't.
Litigation, not contracts
OurFirm.ai drafts motions, briefs, and discovery for contested matters. Spellbook is built for transactional contract drafting and review in Word and does not produce court filings.
Citation verification for filings
Check My Cites verifies every case citation, quote, and pin cite before you file. Spellbook reviews contract language; it does not verify legal citations for litigation.
Docket search and judge intelligence
OurFirm.ai searches PACER and NYSCEF dockets and builds judge behavioral profiles. Spellbook offers neither, because they are litigation capabilities outside a contract tool's purpose.
Grounded in the record and the rules of court
OurFirm.ai drafts from your case file and applies jurisdiction-specific formatting and citation rules. A contract assistant is not designed around dockets, judges, or filing standards.
Built by a litigator
Why litigators need their own AI
If you are weighing OurFirm.ai against Spellbook, 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.
What is OurFirm.ai?

Where Spellbook may fit better
We're not for every practice.
- Transactional and corporate teams whose core work is drafting, reviewing, and redlining contracts inside Microsoft Word.
- Firms that want AI clause suggestions and risk flags on agreements, where litigation drafting, docket search, and citation verification are not needed.

FAQ
Common questions.
How does OurFirm.ai compare to Spellbook?
They serve different practices. Spellbook is a contract drafting and review assistant for transactional lawyers inside Microsoft Word. OurFirm.ai is a litigation platform that drafts court-ready filings, verifies citations, searches dockets, and builds judge behavioral profiles. If you go to court, OurFirm.ai is built for your work; if you draft contracts, Spellbook is built for yours.
Does Spellbook do litigation drafting?
No. Based on Spellbook's public materials, it is built for transactional contract drafting and review, not litigation. It does not draft motions or briefs, search court dockets, verify case citations, or profile judges. OurFirm.ai is purpose-built for those litigation tasks.
Can a firm use both OurFirm.ai and Spellbook?
Yes. A firm with both transactional and litigation practices can use Spellbook for contract work and OurFirm.ai for court-bound litigation. They do not overlap: one drafts and reviews agreements, the other produces and verifies court filings.
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.
