GitLaw alpha - Vibe Lawyering

min read

Today we're unveiling our alpha version of GitLaw - our agentic experience for legal work. 

Users are able to use natural language to describe what they want - whether that’s to create a contract, review one or something else related to contracts - and have AI do the work for them. 

GitLaw are not the first ones working on Legal AI - it's a crowded category. But we have a different and opinionated approach which we believe will add an important new way to create and review legal documents.

Vibe coding has transformed how product builders work. With tools like Lovable, v0, Replit and Bolt.new - anyone can now describe the app they want in plain English and AI designs the product and generates the code without further question. Our mission over the coming months is to bring that same paradigm to legal work. Vibe lawyering means you can chat naturally about your legal needs and watch contracts be created or reviewed in seconds.

Built on Git for Law Foundation

Our agentic experience builds on top of the Git foundation we launched with our initial version of GitLaw in 2024. That version made available comprehensive, Git-based revision history and new collaboration features. Those features will be very valuable to legal AI agents. When agents autonomously edit documents on our behalf - being able to see exactly what changes were made by agents working for different parties will be crucial. On GitLaw users are able to see exactly what the agent proposed, what they agreed to, and how the document evolved through rounds of negotiation where the counterparty also uses an AI agent and turns could take seconds rather than days or weeks.

As AI agents become more sophisticated and legal workflows become more automated, having robust version control and collaboration infrastructure becomes the foundation everything else builds on.

Build on Programmable Contract Foundation

GitLaw previously architected contracts to be easily customizable through clear clause structures and smart field options. We called this programmable contracts. This architecture allows the AI to reason about what settings to apply to a contract. We believe this approach increases the quality and trust of outputs compared to what out of the box LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini offer within their interfaces. 

Rather than potentially “hallucinate” contract language, the agent works within established template structures that have been battle-tested in real legal scenarios. We believe it is this combination of AI with trusted legal foundations that makes vibe lawyering viable for real businesses use.

Legal to match the speed of knowledge work

As Aaron Levie, Box CEO said in early 2025, AI will take “tasks that took days and shrink them into hours or minutes”. “AI dramatically accelerates knowledge work“. 

While human insight remains crucial for connecting and reviewing ideas, many routine processes can be parallelized using AI agents that leverage advanced reasoning. As our productivity increases dramatically, we'll want to do more deals and at a faster prace. We hope we can help that happen.

GitLaw is working to build the right legal workflow tools to support people in a world where negotiating a deal doesn't mean weeks of back-and-forth, but minutes or seconds of your agent working with someone else’s agent.

Legal work is about to get a lot more interesting.

We'd love to hear your feedback.
