The solution
Aurus: a private AI platform inside your walls.
Instead of sending client files to someone else’s server, Aurus brings the AI in. One system, three parts — installed and managed for a flat monthly fee.
The hardware
Aurus System
A compact server installed inside your office. The AI, the document index, and your client files all live here — everything runs on this one machine, with no outside services in the loop.
The interface
Aurus OS
What your attorneys and staff talk to. It answers questions, drafts documents, and searches every matter your firm has handled — with citations.
The controls
Aurus Console
Where administrators govern the system: permissions, ethical walls, and a complete audit log.
How it works
From delivery to daily use in three steps.
No migration, no IT project, nothing to learn beyond asking a question.
We install the Aurus system
A compact, quiet unit that fits in a closet or server rack. We handle delivery, setup, and connection to your existing file storage.
Aurus learns your documents
Aurus indexes the files you point it at — matters, pleadings, agreements, templates, past work product — and stays current as new files arrive.
Your attorneys ask Aurus anything
In plain English, from their desks: “Summarize where the Hoffman matter stands.” “What did we advise this client in 2023?” Answers arrive in seconds, with sources.
Aurus plugs into a standard power outlet and your office network by ethernet. No IT project — installed in one afternoon.
What it does
An associate who has read every file your firm has ever handled.
Answers from your documents — with citations
Ask Aurus about any client or engagement and get a direct answer drawn from your own files — the agreement, the pleading, the letter — with source chips pointing to the exact documents it came from.
You asked
How many deposits has the buyer made under the Hartwell–Meridian purchase agreement, and when?
Aurus
Six deposits, totaling $180,000. The initial earnest-money deposit of $50,000 was made at signing on February 3, followed by five monthly installments of $26,000 from March through July — each confirmed in the corresponding escrow statement.

Review a whole folder at once — every term, one grid
Point Aurus at a folder of leases, contracts, or discovery documents and pull the same terms out of every one, side by side. Every cell cites the page it came from — and when a document is silent on a term, the grid says “not addressed” instead of papering over the gap.

Your standards, applied every time
Write down your firm's review standards once — the standard language and past positions you want reused, what gets flagged, what goes to a partner, what counts as a negotiation point — and Aurus applies them to every document it reviews — a playbook the whole firm follows, automatically. Consistency that doesn't depend on who's reviewing.

- Missing renewal option — note as a negotiation point

If it doesn't know, it says so. By design.
Aurus never fills a gap with a guess. When a document isn't in your files, it tells you plainly and asks for it — so every answer you do get is one you can rely on, and cite.
You asked
What does the environmental site assessment say about the Dockside parcel?
Aurus
I don’t have that document. No environmental site assessment appears in the Hartwell files I can access, so I won’t guess at its contents. If you add it to the matter folder, I’ll read it and answer with citations.

Why it’s different
Public AI tools are remarkable. That isn’t the issue.
The issue is where your client files go to use them. Aurus gives your firm the same leverage — AI that plugs into your documents, applies your standards, and cites its sources — on a machine inside your office. Private by design. Flat fee. Maintained for you.
| Feature | Aurus | Public AI tools |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | All of it stays on the Aurus system in your office | Split with the vendor; your data sits on their servers |
| Knows your firm's files | Works from your matters, precedents, and firm history | Generic knowledge; no memory of your files |
| Ethical walls | Aurus Console mirrors your screens and matter permissions | One shared login, no oversight — anyone can paste anything into it |
| Fit for privileged material | Built for attorney-client privileged files | Consumer terms of service; third-party disclosure |
| Audit trail | Every query logged on your own hardware | Little visibility into who asked what |
| Who maintains it | We install, support, and patch — verified updates, one flat monthly fee | Big tech companies |
Who it’s for
Built for firms that don’t compromise.
Firms of two to ten attorneys, in the practice areas where the documents never stop. If yours isn’t listed, the system works the same wherever client files pile up — ask us.

Financial disclosures, correspondence, and filings that pile up fast. Summarize where a matter stands and keep every fact at hand for the next hearing.
Real estate
Leases, closing sets, and title documents by the folder. Extract and compare terms across an entire deal — rent escalations, renewals, exceptions — in one table.
Immigration
Hundreds of open matters, each with its own filing history and deadlines. Ask for the status, the prior filings, or the missing document — and get it with sources.
Small litigation
Pleadings, discovery, and deposition transcripts. Find the admission you remember but can't place, and draft the memo around it in your own voice.
FAQ
Questions lawyers ask before they trust an AI with client files.
The AI runs entirely on the Aurus system in your office — it is not a connection to ChatGPT or any other outside service, and nothing about it is hidden from you. Because everything runs in your office, client files are never sent to an AI company. You’re not trusting a black box; you’re running an open, inspectable system inside your own walls.
For the work a small firm actually needs — answering from your own matters with citations, drafting from your own precedents, summarizing where a case stands — Aurus is highly capable. The advantage isn’t knowing more of the internet; it’s an AI grounded in your files that never leaks them. A public chatbot knows more trivia. Aurus knows your firm.
We monitor the system and handle hardware support as part of the flat monthly fee — this is a fully managed service, not a box we drop off. If something fails, we resolve it. Larger firms can add a second, standby system so the service keeps running even if hardware fails.
Updates arrive as verified packages we apply during scheduled maintenance, on your schedule — your files and data never leave the building. Staying current never means opening a door to the outside.
No. Your client files, questions, and answers never leave the system — nothing leaves your office. We maintain the system through verified updates, and your files stay encrypted at rest on hardware your firm physically controls. Privilege and confidentiality stay where they belong.
Everything lives on the Aurus system in your office, encrypted at rest on hardware you physically control. Access follows the matter permissions and ethical walls you set in Aurus Console — enforced on every query, and logged.
