Kira Systems

Kira Systems, now a core component of the Litera ecosystem, represents the gold standard in AI-driven contract analysis for M&A due diligence and regulatory compliance. Its technical architecture is built upon patented machine learning algorithms designed specifically to identify, extract, and analyze text in unstructured documents, even when the data is trapped in low-quality scans or complex tables. By 2026, Kira has solidified its market position by integrating generative AI capabilities with its traditional discriminative ML models, allowing users to not only extract clauses but also query them using natural language. The platform's 'Quick Study' feature remains a unique differentiator, enabling non-technical legal professionals to train custom extraction models with as few as 20-50 examples. Kira’s infrastructure is optimized for high-volume processing, capable of handling thousands of documents simultaneously with enterprise-grade security protocols. Its position in the 2026 market is characterized by deep integration into the legal tech stack, bridging the gap between raw document storage and actionable business intelligence for global law firms and Fortune 500 legal departments.
