For law firms
A pre-configured box, shipped to your office. Plug it in — you're operational.
~70% of requests processed locally. ~30% routed to the best cloud LLMs (Claude, GPT, Mistral) — only anonymized excerpts. Always the best model, never locked in.


Extraction, Q&A, summaries, drafting
Anonymized before sending
The Problem
ChatGPT, Claude, Harvey — your queries pass through third-party cloud servers. Client data leaves your office, potentially waiving privilege.
Harvey is locked to OpenAI. Claude for Legal, to Anthropic. The best model changes every month — your tool doesn't.
ABA Model Rules and state bar ethics opinions increasingly scrutinize AI use. Most legal AI tools weren't built with privilege preservation in mind.
The Solution
A physical box shipped to your office, pre-loaded with the RAGbase software. Plug it in — you're operational.
Local models for everyday tasks. Cloud LLMs (Claude, GPT, Mistral) for complex queries — only anonymized excerpts.
Hardware provided and pre-configured. No infrastructure to manage. No IT department needed. Plug and play.
Model-agnostic. When a better model releases, we deploy it on your box. Your system stays the same.
Firm documents
Emails, DMS, contracts, briefs
RAGbase Box
At your office
~70% Local
Extraction, Q&A, summaries
~30% Cloud LLMs
Complex reasoning
Only anonymized excerpts are sent to cloud LLMs. Full documents never leave the box.
In practice
From client intake to final pleading, every task is assigned to the right sovereignty layer.
Click any task to see difficulty, criticality, model tier, and verification.
Compliance
As state bar ethics opinions and ABA guidance on AI tighten, the RAGbase Box is architected for compliance by default.
Client documents stay on the box at your office. 70% of tasks are processed locally — no external connection.
Built-in de-identification before any data reaches cloud LLMs. Only anonymized excerpts are transmitted.
Full client documents never leave the firm's premises. Reasoning traces and agent logs stay on the box.
Every query, every response, every source is logged. Full audit trail on the box for compliance review.
Neither local models nor cloud providers use your data for training. Contractually guaranteed via enterprise APIs.
Architecture designed for ABA Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 5.3. Documentation provided for your firm's compliance review.

Frequently asked questions
Routine tasks (extraction, classification, Q&A, summaries, translation) run directly on the box at your office with no external connection. Complex requests (advanced legal reasoning, long-form drafting) are routed to the best cloud LLMs — Claude, GPT, or Mistral depending on the task. Only anonymized and de-identified excerpts are transmitted, never your full documents.
Full client documents never leave your office. The RAGbase Box processes 70% of tasks locally. For the 30% routed to cloud LLMs, only anonymized excerpts are sent via enterprise APIs that contractually guarantee zero retention and zero training on your data. This architecture was designed to preserve privilege by default.
You choose: renew the lease — we then swap the hardware for a current-generation configuration — or stop. If you stop, the box is collected and we hand back all of your data and indexes. Because your data never left your office, there is nothing to retrieve from a third-party cloud.
For routine tasks (70% of volume), local models deliver excellent results with near-instant response times. For complex tasks, routing to the best cloud LLMs (Claude, GPT, Mistral) gives you access to frontier models. The hybrid system combines the best of both worlds.
The RAGbase Box is not locked to any model vendor. When a better local model releases (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, etc.), we deploy it on your box. For cloud, we route to the best model available — Claude, GPT, or Mistral depending on the task. Your interface and workflows stay the same — only the engine improves.
Before any data is sent, it passes through an anonymization and de-identification pipeline built into the box. Only the excerpts necessary for the request are transmitted — never full documents. We use enterprise APIs from each provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral) that contractually guarantee zero retention and zero training use.
Yes. The per-user rate includes the pre-configured box (Mac or Linux station depending on plan) on lease, the RAGbase software license, updates, monitoring, and support. No upfront hardware cost. 24-month term, renewable with current-generation hardware.
The RAGbase Box architecture is designed for compliance with ABA Model Rules and state bar ethics opinions on AI use. Client documents stay on-premise, cloud data is anonymized, and full audit trails are maintained. We provide documentation to support your firm's compliance review.
