August
Read full descriptionHide full description
August is the legal AI platform used by law firms and in-house teams on five continents. The mobile app gives you the same Assistant, agents, documents and history you use on your laptop. Ask a question, get a sourced answer. Look up a precedent, check a statute or confirm a deadline from wherever you are. Every answer comes with citations you can open and verify against the source document. Work from your matter folders. Your files are organized by matter and available on your phone. Open a shareholders agreement, a board minute or a compliance checklist and ask August about it directly. Compare agreements with your precedent. Attach two side letters and ask which is the stronger precedent for your client. August reads both, writes a negotiation memo you can download as a Word document, and shows you the exact section each finding comes from. Run agents built for your firm. August comes with hundreds of specialized legal agents, and firms configure their own around their templates, house style and jurisdiction. The agents you use on desktop run on mobile too. Start on your phone, finish on your laptop. Open the same conversation on any device and pick up where you left off. The same security everywhere. Client data on mobile has the same protections as on desktop: SSO, encryption at rest, data residency controls and audit logs. August is used by solo practitioners, regional firms and Am Law 100 partnerships across litigation, corporate, regulatory and in-house practice. Learn more at august.law
