AI where it saves hours. Not where it gets in the way
Drafting, document analysis and meeting minutes. With a lawyer in charge, always.
14-day trial · No lock-in
Artificial intelligence in a law firm is not measured in demos. It is measured in the hours a lawyer stops spending drafting the same email for the fifteenth time, reading forty pages to find the clause that bites, or typing up the notes from a two-hour meeting.
Mandato uses models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Mistral in three specific places. In all three a lawyer reviews and signs. None of them decides anything.
Three places AI works. And how it does.
Claude, ChatGPT and Mistral, each where it performs best, with your data in the European Union. AI proposes; the lawyer decides.
Drafting emails and documents
Write the intention in one line and get a draft with the matter's parties, references and dates.
Document analysis
Upload a contract and get a map: which clauses to review, why, and on which page.
Meeting summaries
Record with consent and get the summary, the commitments and the tasks already created.
Matter summaries
The assistant answers about the matter from what's already in it: documents, emails, milestones.
Bilingual by default
The same document in Spanish or English — whichever language the recipient will read.
Data in the EU, humans decide
Processed in the European Union. Nothing leaves the firm without a lawyer reviewing and signing.
Three providers, named.
“State-of-the-art artificial intelligence” is not an answer. These are the models Mandato uses, and what each one is used for.
Claude
AnthropicDocument analysis and drafting: the long texts, where the context of a whole contract has to be held at once.
ChatGPT
OpenAIMeeting summaries and suggestions as you type, where what matters is that the answer arrives quickly.
Mistral

Which model handles which task is our decision and can change; where your data is processed is not. Marks belong to their owners.

Indicative times: they depend on the document and the matter. The lawyer's review is never discounted — that's the part we don't want to speed up.
Drafting emails and pleadings
You write the intent in a line — "ask the notary for the draft deed and remind them of the deadline" — and Mandato writes the email with the matter's context already inside it: parties, references, dates and amounts.
The same goes for the pleadings and contracts a firm produces every week. Your templates carry fields filled from the client and matter records; the AI writes what the template leaves open, in the tone you have taught it.
In Spanish or in English. The same document, in the language its reader actually reads.
Document analysis, with the risks flagged
Upload a contract, a deed, a set of standard terms. Mandato reads it, extracts the parties, the dates and the amounts, and flags the clauses that deserve a second look: uncapped penalties, automatic renewals, submission to a foreign forum, lopsided warranties.
The output is not a verdict. It is a map: what each flagged clause says, where it sits in the document, and why it was flagged. The judgement is the lawyer's.
Meeting summaries
Record the meeting — with the consent of those present — or upload the recording. Mandato returns a structured summary, the list of commitments with an owner and a date, and the tasks already created on the matter.
What disappears in practice is not the meeting. It is the half hour afterwards spent typing it up, which is almost never billed and almost always done late.
So why not just use ChatGPT?
It is the right question. Mandato uses OpenAI models, among others: the difference is not the model, it is where what you do with it ends up living. There are three differences.
The first is context. A general assistant does not know who your client is, what stage the matter is at, or what was agreed on the call in March. You have to tell it every time, pasting fragments. Mandato's AI already knows, because it lives inside the matter.
The second is where what you type ends up. Pasting a deed or a client's passport into a consumer chat means taking personal data — often special categories of it — outside the firm's perimeter, with no processing agreement and no idea where it lands. That is a professional-secrecy problem before it is a data-protection one.
The third is what survives afterwards. A chat thread is not a matter file. An email drafted in Mandato is sent from Mandato and recorded there; the analysis is stored beside the document it analysed; the summary hangs off the meeting. None of that lives in a browser tab somebody will close on Friday.
What happens to your data
Your firm's data is processed in the European Union. It is not used to train models — neither ours nor the model provider's — and isolation between firms is total: no query from one firm can reach another firm's data.
Mandato acts as data processor and signs the corresponding agreement. Every interaction with the AI lands in the audit log: who ran it, on which document, and when.
- Processed on servers in the European Union.
- Your documents never train models, ours or the provider's.
- A data processing agreement is available on every plan.
- Every AI request is written to the immutable audit log.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI model does Mandato use?
Three providers, chosen per task: Claude (Anthropic) for document analysis and drafting, ChatGPT (OpenAI) for meeting summaries and inline suggestions, and Mistral, European, for processing that should not leave the EU. The choice is ours and may change over time. What does not change is where your data is processed and who can see it.
Is the AI trained on my firm's documents?
No. Neither Mandato nor the model provider uses your firm's content to train models. Your data is processed to answer your request and is not reused for any other purpose.
Can the AI get things wrong?
Yes, which is why everything it produces passes a lawyer before it leaves the firm. A draft is a draft. A risk analysis tells you where to look; it does not settle the judgement. Mandato is built to shorten the work that precedes a decision, never to make it.
Can I turn the AI off?
Yes. AI features are enabled and disabled per firm and per user in settings. A firm can run Mandato as a matter, communications, document and billing system without a single AI feature ever executing.
