# Private AI for legal professionals who need confidentiality
-Yes, it's possible to use AI in legal work without risking client data. ChatGPT or others are not the only way to use AI in law.
+
-Jan is an privacy-conscious alternative to ChatGPT, it runs AI locally on your laptop/computer, with no files leaving your desk.
-
-
-If you want to check whether your system can run private AI, see our [AI system requirements guide](/docs/system-requirements).
-
-
-With Jan, you can create assistants that support your daily work while keeping contracts, case notes, and client files under your full control.
-
-## What legal professionals can do with AI
-
-- **Contract review**: Highlight unusual clauses, spot ambiguous language, or check for missing terms.
-- **Drafting**: Generate first drafts of NDAs, agreements, or letters that you can refine.
-- **Case prep**: Summarize depositions, discovery files, or judgments into clear briefs.
-- **Knowledge management**: Turn firm memos, policies, and precedents into a searchable knowledge base.
-
-## Create your own legal assistant in Jan
-
-Jan lets you build assistants with custom instructions. Think of it as a paralegal that follows your exact guidance.
-
-Here’s a starter prompt you can use:
-
-> “You are a legal assistant focused on contract analysis. When I paste a contract, highlight risky clauses, note ambiguous language, and give me a short summary in plain English for a client. Do not provide legal advice, only observations.”
-
-You can expand this to handle drafting, summarizing, or workflows unique to your practice. Over time, refine it with examples so it mirrors your style.
-
-## Why private AI matters in law
-
-Every lawyer has the same concern: **confidentiality**.
-Cloud-based tools process your text on external servers. Even anonymized input can reveal sensitive details.
+Yes, it's possible to use AI in legal work without risking client data.
Client trust depends on privacy. Sending documents into public AI tools risks compliance and reputation.
+
+
+Start by [downloading Jan](/download) and installing the **Jan v1 model**. Once installed, you can create assistants tailored to your practice and keep contracts, case notes, and client files under your control.
+
+
+**Why use Jan for legal tasks**
+- Runs locally on your hardware, no cloud uploads
+- Keeps chats and interactions private
+- Works offline once installed
+- Lets you build assistants for your own workflows
-Private AI keeps everything under your control — no uploads, no leaks.
+---
-## Getting started
+## Create your assistant
-1. Install Jan on your device.
-2. Create a custom assistant using the starter prompt above.
-3. Test it first on non-sensitive documents.
-4. Move into client work once you’re confident in the results.
+Once Jan is installed with the **Jan v1 model**, onboarding will guide you through downloading and setup.
-## Final note
+Click **Create assistant** to start:
+
+*Create your first assistant in Jan*
-AI in legal practice is not about replacing lawyers. It’s about handling repetitive tasks safely, so you can focus on the decisions that matter.
-With private AI, you get the benefits of automation without compromising client confidentiality.
+Add an assistant name and prompt:
+
+*Example of a Jan assistant for contract review*
+
+You can create assistants using specific prompts. Below are examples for common legal workflows.
+
+---
+
+## Contract review assistant
+
+AI can help lawyers move faster through long contracts by pointing out what matters most.
+
+**Prompt for Jan:**
+> You are a contract review assistant.
+> When I paste a contract:
+> - Highlight risky or unusual clauses
+> - Flag ambiguous or missing terms
+> - Summarize the agreement in plain English for a non-lawyer client
+> Format your response with sections: **Risks**, **Ambiguities/Missing**, **Summary**.
+> Do not provide legal advice.
+
+---
+
+## Drafting assistant
+
+Use AI to create first drafts of NDAs, service agreements, or client letters. You still refine the output, but AI saves time on boilerplate.
+
+**Prompt for Jan:**
+> You are a drafting assistant.
+> When asked to draft a legal agreement or client letter:
+> - Produce a professional first version
+> - Use clear, concise language
+> - Leave placeholders like [Party Name], [Date], [Amount] for details
+> - Structure output with headings, numbered clauses, and consistent formatting
+> Do not provide legal advice.
+
+---
+
+## Case preparation assistant
+
+Case prep often means reading hundreds of pages. AI can turn depositions, discovery files, or judgments into concise notes.
+
+
+*Jan chat interface for case preparation — process documents and extract key information*
+
+**Prompt for Jan:**
+> You are a case preparation assistant.
+> When I provide case materials:
+> - Extract key facts, issues, and arguments
+> - Present them as bullet points under headings: **Facts**, **Issues**, **Arguments**
+> - Keep summaries concise (under 500 words unless I request more)
+> Use plain English, no speculation or legal conclusions.
+
+---
+
+## Knowledge management assistant
+
+Law firms accumulate memos, policies, and precedents. AI can help organize and retrieve them quickly.
+
+**Prompt for Jan:**
+> You are a knowledge management assistant.
+> When I ask questions about internal documents:
+> - Return concise summaries or direct excerpts
+> - Always cite the source (e.g., “Policy Manual, Section 4”)
+> - If not found in provided material, reply “Not found in documents.”
+> Do not invent information.
+
+---
+
+## Final note
+
+AI in legal practice is not about replacing lawyers. It’s about handling repetitive tasks safely so you can focus on real decisions.
+With private AI, you gain efficiency without compromising client confidentiality.
