About
August AI is a comprehensive Legal AI platform designed specifically for law firms of all sizes, from fast-growing boutiques to AmLaw 150 firms. Unlike generic AI tools, August works hands-on with each firm's engineers and lawyers to train the AI on the firm's existing templates, precedents, and workflows — ensuring outputs match the firm's precise quality standards. The platform covers the full legal workflow: AI-powered legal research, contract and document review, automated drafting (including Share Purchase Agreements, closing checklists, and debt-covenant comparisons), diligence summaries, and billing automation. Practice areas served include Corporate & M&A, Litigation, Real Estate, Capital Markets, Regulatory/ESG, and Healthcare. August operates on a three-step personalization model — Train, Configure, and Deploy. Firms securely ingest sample matters and guidelines, co-build custom workflows with August's team, and then launch polished Word or PDF documents directly from chat or email. The platform reports significant time savings across practice areas, with some workflows saving up to 7 hours per matter. With over 1,500 users and backing from world-class investors, August AI is purpose-built for legal professionals who want to punch above their weight class, deliver faster turnaround times for clients, and turn AI adoption into a competitive advantage.
