A privileged chat workspace for the people who need counsel.

Privilege AI on iOS: the same privileged session, with web sources, a saved work-product file, and a counsel note

The session is the unit of privilege.

Every conversation belongs to a legal matter. Every answer is recorded with its citations, its model, and who was present — the record that lets counsel support a claim of privilege.

01 · Counsel authorizes

Requesters ask. Counsel reviews the basis and approves.

Three roles — requester, attorney or lead counsel, viewer. Counsel is present in the session, marks the privilege basis reviewed, and decides what leaves the matter.

02 · Every answer carries its record

Citations into matter documents, the model, and who was in the room.

Answers cite the MSA, the vendor notice, the SOC timeline — by section and hash. Each turn is logged to a hash-chained audit ledger with retention and legal hold.

03 · Bring your models

Claude and ChatGPT on privilege-safe routing, with your own keys.

Bring your company's own OpenAI and Anthropic keys, or use a system key. No matter is used to train any model. Web search is off by default and labelled when it leaves the workspace.

United States v. Heppner · AI & legal privilege

Document the legal workflow while the work happens.

Heppner highlights the limits of self-directed AI work followed by legal review after the fact. Privilege AI is designed around counsel’s role from the start: a legal matter, defined participants, a reviewed basis, and a record of the model and cited sources. Give counsel the context needed to direct AI-assisted work and assess the protections that may apply.

Bring AI into your matters.
Keep the privilege.
