TLDR: Litera, a global leader in legal technology, has launched Lito, a new AI legal agent embedded within its Litera One platform. Designed to act as a virtual team member, Lito aims to revolutionize legal workflows by automating complex tasks, providing immediate insights, and enhancing decision-making for legal professionals.
Litera, a prominent innovator in legal technology solutions, announced on July 23, 2025, the introduction of Lito, a groundbreaking AI legal agent. This new offering is seamlessly integrated into the Litera One platform, making its capabilities accessible directly within Microsoft Outlook and Word, tools commonly used by legal professionals.
Lito is positioned as a ‘game-changing new AI legal agent’ and a ‘virtual team member’ that spans both the practice and business aspects of law. Its core purpose is to streamline legal workflows by aligning relevant capabilities with user intent, thereby delivering informed outcomes through timely access to pertinent data within the correct context. According to Litera CEO Avaneesh Marwaha, ‘We built Lito to give our customers a massive edge, giving every lawyer a virtual ‘team’ behind them who can execute thousands of workflows, find the right information and deliver answers immediately for their clients.’ Marwaha further noted that Lito addresses a significant challenge faced by 86% of lawyers: the complexity of disparate tools and the difficulty in sifting through vast amounts of data to quickly answer client questions.
Key features of Lito include:
Chat with Doc Viewer: This chat bar serves as a gateway to Litera’s skill ecosystem and a document analysis tool, enabling users to interact with content, surface insights, and trigger real-time workflows.
Analyze in Grid: Users can run multiple prompts across multiple documents simultaneously, facilitating quick analysis.
Compare: Lito’s comparison functionality rapidly detects changes between any two documents across various formats, including Word, PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint, supporting 1:1, 1:Many, and bulk comparisons.
Search Experience: Leveraging Foundation as its data backbone, Lito provides natural language access to connected client, matter, lawyer, and third-party profiles.
Review Terms: It offers a built-in definition lookup for interacting with Word documents and PDFs, streamlining contract review.
Legal Skills: Lito can complete essential legal tasks such as running form checks on regulated documents, generating interim period and post-closing timelines, and creating open items lists.
Built on Litera’s secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure, Lito connects exclusively to structured, permissioned firm data, ensuring robust data governance and privacy controls are maintained. It automates complex tasks and surfaces immediate insights by integrating with Foundation and Foundation 365. The agent is designed to help lawyers reduce context-switching, improve turnaround time, and make more informed decisions.
