Litil / Legal AI lab

Building the open intelligence layer for legal AI.

We build software, agents, RL environments, and post-train models for legal work.

Your Work. Your Agent. Your Environment. Your Models.

01 / The thesis

Unlock the intelligence you already own.

When you use someone elses model you give it instructions, playbooks, corrections and workflows. In return, you get an answer. But you don't know if it's correct, why it did what it did , or whether it even followed your directions.

LiTiL helps you unlock the intelligence you already own and keep your information inside your organization. Use it to improve your agents, environments, and models.

Keep your data, workflows, agents, environments, and models. Use your data to make models that you own and control.

Control your own AI stack, without vendor lock.

02 / The hard problem

One word can make all the difference.

In one contract-review test, five models rejected the same change. One accepted it. The model that accepted it read the whole agreement, noticed that the instruction said “should” rather than “must,” weighed that against the request to close a flagship client quickly, and found protection elsewhere in the contract.

The other models followed one instruction and missed the rest of the work. Their answers looked reasonable. They were still wrong for the facts in front of them.

That is the legal judgment we want to measure and train. An unusual answer can be the best answer in the set. The record tells us whether it was good judgment, a missing fact, or a model failure.

03 / Why this lab

Train the model when the model is the problem.

Current models often fail because they did not get the right context, lost an instruction, used the wrong tool, or were evaluated against a weak test. We fix those parts first. When the same failure survives, we train the model.

01Work
The documents, instructions, playbooks, decisions, corrections, and outcomes your team already produces.
02Agent
The software that reads the request, builds the context, uses the right tools, and returns a first pass a person can review.
03Environment
The task, files, tools, and rules needed to run the work again, change the facts, and see what breaks.
04Model
Frontier, open, local, or post-trained. Give each model a defined job and keep the option to replace it.

04 / Public work

What we have built.

We build software and agents for legal work. We also build datasets and RL environments to test them, and post-train models for specific legal work.

05 / Direction

Why LiTiL exists.

Legal teams already have the data, workflows, and judgment that make AI useful. We build the software to turn that work into agents, environments, and models they can own and improve.

06 / The ask

Build better AI from your work.

We want to work with legal teams that can point to a repeatable body of work, show where current models fail, and review whether the result is good enough to use. We are also looking for engineers who know how to make training runs boring, recoverable, and cheaper.
