Artificial intelligence

Legal AI that can stay on your Mac.

Run supported AI workflows locally — or connect the provider your firm prefers. Either way the analysis works over the matter you already have, and an attorney reviews it before it becomes work product.

On your Mac

A local provider

Point Beagle at a model running on your own machine through Ollama. Supported workflows execute against that local endpoint, so the prompt and the matter content go to software you are running yourself.

Your provider

A configured service

Or configure the provider your firm has already approved. Beagle keeps the credential in the macOS Keychain, shows an external-AI disclosure before anything leaves the machine, and records the run.

Where supported AI processing happensBeagle and your firm's records sit on your Mac. Choosing a local provider keeps the prompt and the matter content on that machine, where Ollama or LM Studio runs the model. Choosing an external provider sends them off the machine to OpenAI or Anthropic — but only after you accept a disclosure, and only with the API key you supplied, which is held in the macOS Keychain.YOUR MACOFF THE MACHINEBeagle LPMMatters, time, billingLocal model serverOllama or LM StudioStays on this machineYour firm's recordsOn your Mac and in syncYour API keyHeld in the macOS KeychainExternal providerOpenAI or Anthropic, if you choose oneOnly after you accept the disclosure
Beagle contacts no AI service until a provider is configured. Which of these two paths runs is your firm's decision, taken in the application.

The honest version

What we are and are not claiming

AI marketing in legal software is mostly unfalsifiable. Here is the precise shape of what Beagle does, so you can check it.

What is true. Supported AI workflows can run against a local provider on your Mac. You choose the provider. Provider credentials are held in the macOS Keychain and are never written to a backup. Beagle shows a disclosure before using an external provider, and AI output is advisory until an attorney applies it.

What is not. Not every workflow runs locally, and choosing an external provider means content reaches that provider. Beagle does not search case law and cites no legal authority. Retrieval is keyword and exact-phrase matching only; it does not use embedding similarity. Nothing here is a certification, a confidentiality guarantee, or a substitute for your judgment.

AI Notepad

Ask questions of your own records

A matter-aware workspace. Attach a matter, ask, and get an answer grounded in what that matter actually contains.

Matter-scoped

The Notepad works inside one firm and one matter. It does not reach across firms, and it does not answer from a general corpus of law.

Source-grounded

Where source grounding is used, retrieved passages are shown with their source. Retrieval is local keyword and exact-phrase matching only.

Advisory

Output is advisory. Applying anything back to the matter goes through a review step, and the run is recorded.

Matter Intelligence

Four analyses that run on the file you already have

These are the workflows that are wired and working today. Where a tab is not yet connected, the application says so rather than showing a demo.

Chronology

Build a timeline of the matter from its records, so the sequence is visible rather than reconstructed by memory.

Risks

Surface the exposures a matter carries, drawn from what is recorded on it.

Contradictions

Find statements in the file that do not agree with each other — the thing that is expensive to discover late.

Drafting

Generate a draft from the matter’s own contents, behind a review gate. Nothing is written back silently.

Control

Your firm decides where processing happens

Provider configuration is an administrative decision, and Beagle treats it as one.

Choose the provider

Configure a local provider through Ollama, or an external provider your firm has approved.

Disclosure before it leaves

Using an external provider means content goes to that provider. Beagle discloses this rather than burying it in a settings screen.

Advisory by design

AI output supports an attorney’s judgment. It does not exercise it, and Beagle does not present it as though it does.

Read the policy, not just the pitch

The AI Policy states what Beagle does with matter content, and the Privacy Policy states what Argon does with yours.
