Top 10 AI Tools Every Legal Professional in Chile Should Know in 2025

For Chilean legal professionals in 2025, knowing the right AI tools is no longer optional - global adoption is racing ahead: Wolters Kluwer's Future Ready Lawyer survey finds 76% of law department attorneys and 68% of law firm attorneys use generative AI weekly, and major firms are deploying copilots like CoCounsel to speed research and drafting (Thomson Reuters reports rapid seat uptake).

That means faster due diligence, sharper litigation analytics and new billing conversations, but also real risks - hallucinated citations and confidentiality concerns demand disciplined oversight and verification.

Treat AI as a tireless paralegal that can read a mountain of precedents overnight, not as a substitute for legal judgment; practical training matters. Chilean firms and in-house teams that pair careful governance with hands-on skills will win competitive advantage - start by building verified prompts and policies, or consider structured upskilling such as the AI Essentials for Work bootcamp syllabus to learn usable prompts, tool selection and risk controls.

“Basic legal information is going to be more and more accessible through technology to more and more people.”

Methodology - How the top 10 were chosen and tested reflects practical legal priorities for Chilean firms: start with clearly defined use cases, then stress-test candidate tools for jurisdictional fit, secure data handling, and how they plug into existing workflows - not features for features' sake.

Evaluation criteria mirrored industry best practices: prefer professional-grade legal AI over consumer models, check vendor security and retention policies, pilot in real workloads, demand citation-backed outputs, and measure speed-to-value and support resources; these steps are drawn from guidance like BARBRI's step-by-step evaluation checklist and Thomson Reuters' practitioner-focused Thomson Reuters guide: Artificial Intelligence and the Law for legal professionals.

Benchmarks included accuracy on extraction/summarization, workflow integration, training/onboarding, and total cost of ownership; empirical comparisons such as the VLAIR benchmark informed weighting for speed and task-fit - especially where tools excel at summarization but still need human oversight for redlining and nuanced research.

For Chilean practice, fold in a cross‑functional steering committee (legal, IT, security) and run time‑boxed pilots to validate ROI in real casework before wider rollout - that pragmatic approach separates hype from usable advantage.

“The speed differential alone presents a compelling case for AI adoption... This speed advantage directly threaten[s] their revenue model.”

CoCounsel (Casetext) deserves close attention from Chilean lawyers weighing AI for research and drafting: built on GPT‑4 and wired into Casetext's Parallel Search and Westlaw content, it can zip through document review, extract contract clauses, draft legal memos and even prep deposition outlines - often producing a first‑draft research memo in minutes where a summer clerk might take days - so the time savings can be dramatic for firms juggling heavy caseloads.

Its strengths are verifiable links and integrations (for example, Westlaw/Practical Law playbooks and KeyCite flags) that help check authorities, but local practitioners should stress‑test jurisdictional coverage, workflows, and vendor claims about “no hallucinations” and zero‑retention APIs before trusting outputs wholesale; independent analysis of CoCounsel's design and limits is useful reading when planning pilots.

For Chilean in‑house teams, the value is in pairing CoCounsel's speed with firm‑level prompts, verification playbooks and security reviews so AI accelerates work without undermining professional duties - see CoCounsel Legal for capabilities and integrations and an independent critique of CoCounsel's assumptions to inform your rollout.

“You and your end users are responsible for all decisions made, advice given, actions taken, and failures to take action based on your use of AI Services.”

For Chilean legal teams hunting for citation-backed conversational search, Lexis+ AI stands out by pairing a conversational assistant - Protégé - with Shepard's® citation validation and a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) backbone that vets results against authoritative content, so outputs arrive with linked, verifiable authorities and a clear audit trail; practitioners can use DMS integrations and Protégé Vaults to run document analysis, generate timelines, and Shepardize citations from uploaded matter while keeping sensitive files encrypted and session‑purged.

The platform's RAG checks (lexical/semantic search, recency boosts, intelligent ranking, authoritative checks and citation validation) are engineered to reduce hallucinations and, according to vendor reports, deliver answers far faster than legacy workflows - an efficiency that translated to measurable time savings in early user studies.

Chilean firms should pilot Lexis+ AI for drafting and litigation analytics, confirm local‑law coverage during trials, and use the product's guided research and personalization settings to align outputs with firm style and compliance needs; see the official Lexis+ AI product page and LexisNexis' explanation of its linked citation approach for deeper technical detail.

“Lexis+ AI is the only legal generative AI solution with citations linked in its responses, providing trusted legal results backed by verifiable authority.”

Westlaw Edge brings AI-driven research, brief analysis and litigation analytics that Chilean firms should evaluate for practical value - not novelty - by checking local coverage and workflow fit: tools like AI Jurisdictional Surveys can jumpstart tailored surveys across jurisdictions and Quick Check will analyze a brief in minutes to surface missed or contrary authority, while Litigation Analytics offers judge-, court- and damages‑level insights to better manage client expectations and craft strategy.

Its KeyCite Overruling Risk and WestSearch Plus aim to reduce citation risk and speed getting to the heart of an issue, and Statutes/Regulations Compare helps spot legislative changes at a glance; however, Thomson Reuters' platforms are primarily U.S.-centric with localized variants available, so pilot tests should verify Chilean and Spanish‑language coverage before full reliance.

For a closer look at features and trials, review Westlaw Edge's product overview and the Litigation Analytics page to assess how these AI capabilities can be adapted to Chilean practice.

“I use Quick Check for my own briefs, to give me peace of mind that I didn't miss something or that at the very least I had looked at it and made a determination. That helps me sleep at night.” - Jeunesse M. Rutledge, Associate, Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c.

Clio Duo is a practical place for Chilean firms to start when looking for a secure, practice‑level AI copilot: built directly into Clio Manage, Duo pulls case and client data into instant summaries, extracts precise, cited details from documents, creates tasks, suggests time entries and drafts client messages - saving some users up to five hours per week and cutting the context‑switching that eats afternoons.

Its design emphasizes data privacy (Clio says firm data is not used to train external models), permissioned access and an audit log, and the feature set is available as an add‑on to Clio Manage plans, so firms already on Clio gain AI without stitching together separate tools.

Chilean teams should confirm local availability and data‑residency options, pilot Duo inside matter workflows, and compare integrations with other tools used locally; see Clio Duo feature overview and the Clio blog roundup of AI tools for legal work for details.

Key fact	Detail
Integration	Built into Clio Manage
Core tech	Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT‑4 (per Clio)
Privacy	Firm data not used to train external models; audit logs
Availability / cost	Add‑on to Clio Manage plans; reported starting cost ~$39/user/month

“Clio Duo makes it much easier to find key information, such as billing and month-to-month comparisons, helping me gain a better understanding of my practice's growth.”

Harvey AI positions itself as an enterprise legal copilot worth a close look for Chilean firms that handle complex, multi‑jurisdictional work: it offers domain‑specific models, agentic “Workflows” to automate multi‑step processes, and a secure KnowledgeVault that can ingest and analyze thousands of documents to speed due diligence and litigation prep - a vivid payoff when a deal's document mountain needs a single, searchable index overnight.

Deployment is enterprise‑grade (Harvey runs on Microsoft Azure and emphasizes robust security and white‑glove support), so local teams should budget for multi‑week onboarding, insist on clear data‑residency and non‑training guarantees, and pilot Chile‑specific coverage before scaling.

For large firms or corporate legal departments, Harvey's custom models and workflow automation can turn firm playbooks into repeatable, auditable AI workstreams; learn more at Harvey AI official website and see a practical overview at Clio analysis of Harvey on Azure.

“Generative AI will be the biggest game-changer for advisory services for a generation.” - Bivek Sharma, Chief AI Officer, PwC UK

Spellbook is a Word‑centric drafting copilot that helps Chilean lawyers move from blank‑page friction to deal‑ready language: it installs as a Microsoft Word add‑in, uses GPT‑4 to suggest clauses and sections in real time, flags missing or risky language, and promises up to “3x faster” drafting and stronger contracts for routine work - a practical fit for solo practitioners and small firms that draft frequently (see the product overview).

Its new Library (Smart Clause Drafting) feature is built to surface the exact clause from your own precedents inside Word and automatically adapt the language to the current deal, so users can stop hunting through folders and paste the right wording in seconds (announced in Spellbook's Library launch).

Spellbook's strengths are clear: fast, in‑context drafting, clause reuse and market‑benchmarks that show where a contract is “off base,” but it's more drafting‑focused than a full review or CLM platform, so pair it with review playbooks or a specialist review tool for heavy redlining.

For teams in Chile, start with a short pilot to confirm workflow fit, local‑law coverage and data policies before rolling out widely; Spellbook's free starting tier and Word integration make that easy to test.

“Commercial lawyers constantly find themselves asking: ‘What's market?'” - Scott Stevenson, CEO, Spellbook

Ironclad positions itself as a full‑life‑cycle CLM that can materially speed contract work for Chilean teams - its models were trained on “over 1 billion contracts” and power features from AI Clauses and AI Playbooks to AI Assist, Smart Import and Ironclad Insights so firms can extract governing law, renewal dates, counterparty names and clause‑level data at scale; see the vendor's Ironclad AI overview - Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) features for the full feature map.

Practical reality for Chile: Smart Import can turn a mountain of legacy NDAs into a searchable repository overnight (file limits apply and per‑file OCR/100‑page limits exist), but empirical testing shows metadata extraction can need manual cleanup - roughly one in five imported records may require correction - so piloting on Spanish contracts and confirming data‑residency and Spanish/Chile coverage is essential; Ironclad's own docs note you can train custom AI clauses and properties to improve accuracy.

For firms that need enterprise workflows and deep Salesforce/DocuSign integrations, Ironclad is a candidate - just budget for onboarding, governance and a short verification loop (train‑and‑verify) before relying on auto‑extractions; read the Smart Import guidance for admin limits and language notes at Ironclad Smart Import and AI Suggestions documentation - admin limits & language notes.

“AI for redlining is as basic as it gets… I still had to check every change by hand.”

RelativityOne is worth a hard look for Chilean teams facing large‑scale litigation or internal investigations because it wraps processing, review and advanced AI into a single, secure workspace - with built‑in capabilities that matter for multilingual, modern evidence: collect ESI from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack and even ChatGPT Enterprise; process native files quickly; view chats (emojis included) as threaded conversations; transcribe audio/video into searchable text; and translate documents on the fly into more than 100 languages so review can proceed without constant context‑switching.

Its Relativity aiR suite (aiR for Review, aiR for Privilege) brings generative AI into first‑pass review and privilege‑flagging, while real‑time analytics and customizable queues help managers steer remote review teams to higher quality and lower cost.

For Chilean practice, the practical checklist is familiar: pilot with Chilean Spanish materials, confirm data‑residency and local availability (RelativityOne offers regional hosting choices and is available in 17 countries), budget for training and administration, and consider a certified partner for migration and governance.

“It's the best Review platform and analytics tool that I have used, with full customization capabilities. Love it.”

Diligen is a practical, machine‑learning contract‑analysis platform Chilean firms should test for due diligence and high‑volume review: it ships with hundreds of pre‑trained clause models (usable day one), scales “whether you have 50 contracts or 500,000,” and can automatically identify key provisions and generate Word or Excel summaries so reviewers start with a focused shortlist instead of a stack of pages; teams that need local accuracy will appreciate that users can rapidly teach the system new, jurisdiction‑specific concepts in minutes via its self‑training workflow.

For Chilean Spanish contracts, a short pilot - training a handful of precedent examples and exporting summaries to Word - will quickly show whether clauses and metadata extraction meet firm tolerances.

See Diligen's feature list and demo to judge fit (Diligen contract analysis platform - features & demo) or read an early write‑up on the Prodigy self‑training approach (Diligen Prodigy self‑training approach launch article).

“The old way would require digging through documents and highlighting paragraphs and a lot of iteration, instead of saying ‘yes' or ‘no' – this is a huge departure from how these systems have traditionally worked.”

Smith.ai's hybrid AI‑first reception gives Chilean law firms a practical way to stop missing calls and speed client intake: the AI picks up 24/7, screens leads, books appointments while the caller is still on the line and hands off complex matters to live agents, and bilingual Spanish support plus a dedicated Spanish line make it usable for Chilean callers and cross‑border work; the platform also supports international transfers and real‑time syncing with legal CRMs (including Clio), so intake flows straight into case systems.

Features that matter for Chilean practice include per‑call pricing and month‑to‑month plans to control costs, call recording/transcripts (opt‑in), spam blocking, payment collection and thousands of integrations to automate follow‑up - see the Smith.ai AI Receptionist product page for plan details and the Filevine integration page for how call summaries and intake map into matter management.

A short pilot with Spanish test calls and CRM integration will quickly show whether the North America–based agents, routing rules and data flows meet your compliance and client‑service needs; the memorable payoff is simple: an always‑on front desk that can turn a cold ring at 2 a.m.

into a booked consultation by 2:05 a.m.

Plan	Starting price
AI Receptionist (Starter)	$95.00 / month (50 calls)
Virtual Receptionists (Starter)	$292.50 / month (30 calls)

“Smith.ai is our inbound sales team. Having a trained and personable voice has transformed our ability to answer the phone and convert callers to clients.”

Picking and piloting AI in Chile in 2025 means treating tools as regulated, auditable assets: start with an AI inventory and risk assessment tied to Chile's emerging risk‑based framework (the draft Chile draft AI Bill aligned with the EU model (analysis)), then layer in privacy checks to meet the new Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) requirements - DPIAs, data‑subject rights and cross‑border transfer controls - outlined in Chile's PDPL guidance (BigID guide to Chile Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)).

Practical sequencing works best: (1) form a cross‑functional steering team (legal, IT, security), (2) run a short pilot with Chilean Spanish materials to validate accuracy, data‑residency and vendor non‑training guarantees, (3) document playbooks for prompt design, verification and escalation so humans remain the final arbiter, and (4) treat governance and staff training as continuous - both to satisfy future Personal Data Protection Agency oversight and to turn compliance into a market advantage.

For firms that want structured upskilling, consider a focused program to teach prompt design, DPIAs and practical controls before scaling AI across matters.
