Sovereign Legal AI

Your depositions stay in your building.

AI transcription and legal intelligence that runs entirely on hardware in your office. The audio never touches a cloud server. Neither does anything else.

I’m a court reporter

Same-day transcripts on a box on your desk. A first draft ready for review in minutes, not days. You certify — the way you always have. Start at $1 per page or $1,500/mo unlimited.

I run a law firm

Sovereign AI that handles transcription, document analysis, motion drafting, and case strategy — on hardware in your server room. Zero privilege risk. We’re building this with the first three firms now.

Cloud AI creates a privilege problem.
A federal court already said so.
“Routing privileged communications through third-party cloud infrastructure may constitute a waiver of attorney-client privilege.”
United States v. Heppner, Federal District Court

Every cloud transcription service — Rev, Verbit, Otter, any tool that sends audio to a server you don’t control — creates an argument that privilege has been waived. SOC 2 certifications don’t override privilege law.

GetPrivileged is a box in your office. The AI models run locally on the hardware. Audio goes in, a formatted transcript comes out. Nothing is transmitted, stored externally, or accessible to anyone outside your building.

When opposing counsel asks where the deposition audio was processed, the answer is: it never left the room. That’s not a policy. That’s physics.

Double your capacity. Keep your workflow.

The Bench

Drop in deposition audio, get a formatted legal transcript back. Runs locally on Apple Silicon — a Mac Mini on your desk, not a server in someone else’s cloud. Your reporter reviews and certifies — instead of typing from scratch, they’re editing a 95%+ accurate first draft.

How the pipeline works

Every deposition runs through the same five-stage process. Each stage uses purpose-built AI models that load sequentially to maximize accuracy on the hardware.

1
Transcription

Whisper large-v3 on Apple Silicon. Near real-time processing with 95–98% accuracy on clear audio.

2
Speaker diarization

Automatically detects and labels distinct voices throughout the recording.

3
Speaker identification

You listen to a short clip of each voice and assign names and roles. Takes 2–3 minutes. This step makes the QA pass dramatically more accurate.

4
AI quality assurance

A language model reviews the full transcript — catches speaker misattributions, legal terminology errors, formatting issues. Flags low-confidence sections.

5
Export & certify

Formatted Word document with legal line numbers, speaker labels, and timestamps. You review, correct, and certify. Full audit trail ships with every transcript — a cryptographic log of the AI’s original draft and every human edit. When a judge asks how it was produced, you have the receipts.

Not ready for the box? Send us the work.

For shops doing fewer than 5 depositions per month, we offer per-transcript sourcing. Submit your audio, we process it on sovereign hardware in our facility, and return a formatted transcript ready for your reporter to certify. No hardware, no contracts, no commitment.

$1/page
$200 minimum per transcript · next-morning delivery

200-page depo = $200. 500-page depo = $500. Same sovereign processing, same audit trail, same quality. Your reporter certifies the final.

When your volume hits 4+ depositions a month, The Bench at $1,500/mo with unlimited same-day turnaround becomes the obvious upgrade.

Sovereign AI that does the thinking.
Not just the typing.
We’re building two products for litigation firms. The Vault does deep legal reasoning — motion drafts, case strategy, cross-examination prep — on a frontier-class model running in your office. The Team handles daily operations — transcription, document intake, correspondence, billing. Together they cost less than one associate. Nothing touches the cloud.
Taking 3 Firms Into Beta

The Vault

A frontier-class AI model on a single chip with 512GB of unified memory. Not a chatbot — a deliverable engine. Attorneys submit work requests and get back finished documents: motion drafts with real legal argumentation, case strategy analyses, cross-examination outlines with impeachment flags.
$7,500 /mo standalone
$6,000 /mo with The Team
12-month agreement · fully managed · beta firms shape the product
  • Deep legal reasoning. Case strategy, cross-matter analysis, motion drafting, impeachment prep — real argumentation cited to your documents, not template filling
  • RAG over your entire corpus. Every document, transcript, and piece of work product searchable by the model. Approximately 2 million pages of active matter documents in memory
  • Mandatory attorney review. Every output held pending explicit accept or reject. Full citation verification — every claim traced to a specific document and passage
  • Quick Search + Deep Analysis. Instant factual lookups across your corpus. Complex reasoning that produces finished deliverables in minutes — not the hours an associate would need
  • Malpractice-carrier ready. One-click governance report per matter. Complete query-to-decision audit trail. Confidence scoring flags weak sections before your attorney sees them
  • Nothing leaves the building. No cloud. No API calls. The model, the documents, and the output all stay on your hardware

Why beta firms get the best deal

The first three firms into The Vault get $2,500/mo beta pricing, direct input on motion drafts and cross-exam outlines, and priority deployment when we go to production. You’re not joining a waitlist — you’re co-building the product with us on your real matters.

$2,500 refundable deposit

Secures your place. Fully refundable if The Vault isn’t right for your firm. We’ll call to discuss your practice areas and case load before processing.

Beta pricing: $2,500/mo

Discounted rate during the 60–90 day validation period. Weekly feedback sessions with your attorneys. Graduate to production pricing when deliverable quality meets your standard.

Your attorneys shape the output

Motion draft formatting. Citation style. Strategy memo structure. Cross-exam outline depth. The first firms in define what “good” looks like for every deliverable type.

Feeds from The Team

If you deploy The Team for daily operations, everything it produces — transcripts, processed documents, correspondence — flows directly into The Vault’s corpus. The more your Team works, the smarter your Vault gets.

The speed reality

Quick searches are instant. Deep analysis — motion drafts, case strategy — takes 2–5 minutes of generation time. That’s the tradeoff for running a frontier model on sovereign hardware instead of sending your privileged data to a cloud server. Your associate takes 3 hours for the same draft. 3 minutes vs. 3 hours.

The Team — four sovereign AI workers
running your office while The Vault is built for you.

Four specialized machines on your local network, each handling a different category of work simultaneously. Instant responses. The Team doesn’t do complex legal reasoning — that’s The Vault. The Team runs your operations.

Node 1

Record

Always-on audio processing. Depositions, client meetings, attorney dictation, mediations, witness interviews, video evidence. Multi-language capable.

Node 2

Clerk

Document intake and processing. OCR on scanned exhibits and discovery. Document classification, entity extraction, deadline extraction, redaction flagging. Processes overnight, delivers a sorted index by morning.

Node 3

Brief

Drafting and correspondence. Dictation-to-letter from attorney voice memos. Client status updates. Deposition summaries. Demand letters. Billing narrative generation.

Node 4

Utility

Overflow capacity that joins whichever queue is deepest. Heavy transcription day? Second audio processor. Big discovery dump? Parallel document intake. Adapts to your workload automatically.

Cross-node intelligence

Everything The Team produces feeds a unified data layer. Search across all transcripts in a case. Flag contradictions between witness statements. Aggregate all material on a witness for deposition prep. Generate question outlines with impeachment flags. And when The Vault comes online, all of this becomes its searchable corpus automatically.

$5,000
per month · all four nodes · 12-month agreement · fully managed

Less than one legal assistant’s salary. Handles the work of several.

Team + Vault: $11,000/mo. Less than one associate’s salary. The Team runs your office. The Vault thinks about your cases. Deploy The Team now, add The Vault when your beta slot opens.
