EnidiA AssociAte
One task, done properly: take a checklist, survey, form or template and fill it in from your own documents. Every answer carries the page it came from, with the passage framed where it sits on that page. Every question the documents do not answer is reported as unanswered, not quietly guessed. All of it on your own hardware.
No installation to watch. No commitment to try.
Use our calculator to see your saving on the forms your firm already fills.
Twenty-one regulatory questions, answered out of a hundred-page prospectus. Each one carries its page, and the passage it rests on framed on that page.
What we do
We are not a general legal assistant, and we are not trying to be. Enidia does a single, enormous, unglamorous job that law firms and fund administrators do every week: you have a fixed set of questions, and the answers are buried in documents.
Matter and closing checklists, condition-precedent lists, playbook reviews.
CSSF questionnaires, AIFMD Annex IV, SFDR annexes, filings that must be defensible.
Client, counterparty and vendor questionnaires answered out of the underlying agreements.
Structured templates populated from a prospectus, an LPA, a credit agreement or a whole folder.
The whole product is that these are three different things, and you can see which is which at a glance.
The document answers the question. The answer carries the page, and the passage it rests on is framed where it sits, so you check it by looking rather than by re-reading.
The document says the thing, but not in the form's vocabulary. You get the answer, both supporting passages framed on their pages, and a label saying this is a mapping rather than something the document states.
We could not find an answer in the documents. That is reported as a finding, never left blank and never filled with something plausible. From there the tool helps you settle the question that actually matters: is it missing from the documents, or did the AI fail to find it?
Why not a general legal AI
The large legal-AI platforms are good products for open-ended work: research a question, summarise a document, draft a first pass, chat with a data room. That is a different job from filling a fixed set of questions and standing behind the result, and the difference is structural, not a matter of quality.
A general assistant is built to produce an answer to whatever you ask. Ask it fifty questions and you get fifty answers, including for the questions your documents never addressed. The thing you actually need to know on a filing is which answers the documents support, and there is nothing in a chat transcript that tells you.
Silence is the expensive failure in this task, and it is invisible in a generative tool: the gap looks exactly like an answer. Our whole design is that the gap is a visible, countable state you have to sign off, not a blank you might never notice.
A page reference next to a paraphrase is not something a reviewer can check without re-reading the document. Every answer here comes with the passage it rests on framed on the page, so checking it takes seconds. That is the only way review at this volume is real review.
A form of fifty questions against a hundred-page document is the most token-hungry shape of legal work there is. On a per-seat-plus-metered-usage model, the task that most needs automating is the one that costs most to automate, so firms ration it. Ours does not meter, because it runs on a machine you own.
The honest version: if you want one tool for everything, buy one of theirs. If you have checklists, forms or questionnaires to fill and someone has to be able to defend the result, that is the job we built for, and we do it better, cheaper and more safely than a general tool can.
See it work
Each one is a single claim you can watch us make good on. They are silent, so the captions carry it.
Verify. An answer you can check, in one click, against the page it came from.
Absent. Four questions came back with no answer, and it says so. Then you push back on one, in your own words.
Trace. When the document does not use the form's words, the answer is labelled an inference.
Learn. It misses one because your documents use a different word. You tell it, and it finds the same field in the next fund's prospectus.
Deploy. Where the work happens, and what never leaves the building.
The whole task
The short films above each isolate one claim. These put them back in the order the work actually happens: the form arrives, it gets filled, you check it, you argue with it, you correct it, and a certificate comes out. Nothing is cut.
A CSSF questionnaire for a new sub-fund. It starts where the work really starts, on the regulator's own download page, and ends with a certificate you could put in front of the CSSF.
A closing checklist against a partnership agreement. The same workflow on the other half of the market: one checklist, one LPA, one pass, and every answer traceable to a clause.
Both are about two minutes. Both are silent, so the captions carry the argument, and both show the tool getting something wrong before it gets it right. That part is not an accident of the edit: a review tool that never misses is a review tool nobody checks.
Getting started
Nothing is asked of you until you have seen it work on your documents. There is no trial that expires into a subscription, because the thing you eventually buy is a machine, not a meter.
Two minutes, no form to fill in, no call. A real form filled from a real public prospectus, with every answer traceable back to its page.
Watch the filmsWe start with a short call to understand the task, then set you up on our hosted environment with your own checklist and your own documents. No installation. No commitment. We run a few trials at a time so each firm gets proper attention.
Request a free trialOnce it has proved itself on your work, you buy the hardware it runs on and licence the tool. It moves onto your premises, your documents stop travelling, and the running cost stops depending on how much you use it.
What on-premise meansOn-premise
On-premise is the part of this that competitors cannot copy without rebuilding their business, and it changes two things at once: who can see your documents, and what a heavy month costs you.
Nothing is sent to a third-party model. There is no processor to add to your record, no sub-processor list to chase, and no transfer to assess, because there is no transfer.
Matters under embargo, client data with contractual bans on external processing, regulated material. These are exactly the documents with the most manual work in them, and the only ones a cloud tool can never touch.
The machine costs what it costs. Running a fifty-question form over three hundred documents costs the same as running it over three, so nobody has to ask permission before using it.
It runs perfectly well on hardware costing around $5,000. That is one workstation under a desk, which puts it within reach of a three-partner boutique and a single fund administrator, not only of firms with an infrastructure budget.
Double the people using it and you have not doubled a bill, because there is no per-seat bill. If the queue gets long, you add a second machine. That is the whole upgrade path, and you own what you bought.
Price rises, model deprecations, an outage, an acquisition. Software on your own hardware keeps doing the same thing tomorrow as it did today.
Because the system lives where your documents live, it can work across your own back catalogue, the firm's own precedents, not just the file in front of you.
Every run produces a certificate: each element, its state, its verbatim source and its locator. It goes into the matter file, to the client, or in front of a regulator.
Most of the category sells a seat and then meters what you do with it. We sell you the machine. On a task whose whole nature is high volume over long documents, that difference compounds.
| Per seat, plus metered usage | Enidia, on your hardware | |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | A licence per named user, plus consumption charged against a credit or token allowance. | A machine and a licence. The capacity is yours once it is bought. |
| What a heavy month costs | More than a light one. The cost scales with pages processed, which is the same thing as scaling with how useful the tool is being. | The same as a light one. Volume changes how long a run takes, not what it costs. |
| What growth costs | Linear in people and in pages. Twice the users is roughly twice the invoice, every year, forever. | About $5,000, once. Twice the users runs on the same machine; if it gets busy, you add another one and own it. |
| Who has to ration it | Whoever owns the budget. Teams learn not to run the big job twice. | Nobody. Re-running a form after a document is amended is free, so it gets re-run. |
| Where your documents go | To the vendor's environment, and onward to whichever model providers sit behind it. | Nowhere. They are read on a machine inside your firm. |
| Who the seat is for | Named individuals. Work done by a back-office team or overnight batch either needs more seats or does not happen. | The task, not the person. A form is a job the machine runs, whoever asked for it. |
| What it is good at | Open-ended work: research, summarising, drafting, chatting with a data room. | One task. Filling a checklist, form, survey or template from documents, with every answer defensible. |
The left-hand column is the prevailing commercial model in legal AI rather than any one vendor's price list; the specifics vary and change. If you want us to run the comparison against the quote actually on your desk, send it over and we will do the arithmetic with you.
The product
The AssociAte is the product: it does the one task. The other two exist because the same firm usually needs its own back catalogue searchable, and its counterparties structured, both of which make the AssociAte's answers better.
Takes your checklist, form, survey or template and fills it from the documents. Every answer carries its page and its exact words; every question the documents do not answer comes back marked absent, with nothing invented to cover it. 25 hours becomes 4.
Turns your firm's own documents into a searchable knowledge base. Answers questions, retrieves precedents, surfaces context, from files that never leave your network.
Builds a structured entity card for every counterparty in your documents: signing authority, UBO chain and obligations, combined with live registry data.
Each one can be taught your firm's standards through a plain conversation, and remembers what it was told.
Academic rigour. Industry trust.
