+# 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. 
+
+<Callout type="info">  
+If you want to check whether your system can run private AI, see our [AI system requirements guide](/docs/system-requirements).  
+</Callout>  
+
+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.  
+
+<Callout type="warning">  
+Client trust depends on privacy. Sending documents into public AI tools risks compliance and reputation.  
+</Callout>  
+
+Private AI keeps everything under your control — no uploads, no leaks.  
+
+## Getting started
+
+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.  
+
+## Final note
+
+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.
