One App. All Sources. Legal Docs in Record Time.

Faster to write. Faster to review. That’s the ROI.

From legal briefs to due diligence reports, CITE accelerates every stage of legal document creation—bringing case law, contracts, statutes, and exhibits together in one streamlined workspace. The brief and its sources stay connected from the first draft through review. A short pilot on a few real reports will show the time save.

Eliminate hours spent hunting for references, formatting footnotes, and bundling exhibits. CITE’s integrated workflow keeps your focus on the legal argument, not the logistics.

CITE isn’t just a citation assistant, it’s a complete legal drafting platform with built-in templates, customizable snippets, paragraph structuring, and Word-style formatting designed for law firm workflows.

With a single click, generate a court- or client-ready file that includes your legal brief, embedded citations, and linked source materials—no separate exhibit binder needed.

Stop chasing down missing attachments or verifying outdated references before filing deadlines. CITE maintains a live link between every citation and its supporting documentation.

Spend less time on version control and formatting, and more time preparing arguments, advising clients, or advancing your case.

We offer a free pilot for firms that want to run CITE on their own matters. Three to five source-intensive documents will show what faster writing and faster review are worth.

Optionally. CITE does not require AI. If you connect a verified provider (ChatGPT or Gemini—using your account/API arrangement), you can use assisted actions such as summarize, rewrite, or extract key points on text you choose to send. That transmission goes to the provider you selected under that provider’s terms; it does not go to an in8development-hosted model. Do not connect AI, or send source material, unless that provider meets your security obligations. See Security for the shared-responsibility summary.
