FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Irys One?

Irys One is a unified platform for legal work, research, draft, edit, manage matters, and collaborate in one system built specifically for legal professionals.

What is included in every plan?

Every plan includes Workbench with Thorough mode, Drafting Assistant, Document Reader, Legal Research, Matter Management, Library, and the Word Add-In. Full AI capability with no usage limits.

What is Thorough mode?

Thorough is Workbench’s flagship mode. Instead of answering in a single pass, it runs a structured investigation, plans the research, reads your matter documents, checks case law, and produces a cite-ready memo with inline citations linked to source. Quick and Standard remain available for fast answers and long-form reports.

Thorough Mode Docs

How is this different from ChatGPT or general AI?

General AI has no legal-specific guardrails, no citation verification, no matter management, and no audit trail. Irys One starts with your matter, documents, facts, and legal context, and produces real legal analysis with sourced citations.

Irys vs ChatGPT

Is Irys a wrapper around ChatGPT?

No. Wrappers take a general-purpose LLM, add a prompt template, and charge a markup. Irys is purpose-built infrastructure with its own multi-layered architecture, retrieval pipeline, citation verification, and matter-native context layer. We use the best available AI models. We own the legal system around them.

What does unlimited context mean?

Our multi-layered architecture processes documents across layers so matter context is preserved regardless of how many documents you upload. No token limits. Firms upload hundreds of documents into a single matter and the AI reads every page.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Zero data retention. We never store or train on your data. End-to-end encryption, tenant isolation, MFA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CPRA-compliant infrastructure.

Is AI usage limited on any plan?

No. Irys One and Enterprise both include the full AI with no usage caps, no token limits, and no gated features. The AI is the same on both.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. Full platform access for 7 days. No credit card required. Your data, matters, and work product carry forward if you subscribe.

How does pricing work?

Irys One is $299/month, the full legal AI platform, unlimited, for an individual attorney. Irys Teams ($329 per seat/month, 2-25 attorneys, shipping soon) adds shared workspaces, role-based permissions, and admin controls. Enterprise is custom pricing for 25+ seats. Irys Lite ($19.99/month) is a capped on-ramp for evaluating the platform.
