🛠️ Getting Started with Kira Systems
1. Log into Kira
Start by logging in at Litera Kira. You'll need an account—usually provided by your firm or organization. Once logged in, you’ll be taken to the Kira dashboard.
2. Upload Your Documents
Click the “Upload Documents” button. You can upload:
-
PDFs
-
Word documents (.doc/.docx)
-
ZIP files containing multiple contracts
Kira will process the documents and prepare them for analysis.
✅ Tip: Organize contracts into folders based on project or transaction for easier management.
3. Run a Review Project
After uploading, start a Review Project:
-
Select your uploaded documents.
-
Choose the Pre-trained Models or Custom Models (more on that below).
-
Kira scans the documents and identifies key clauses.
4. Use Smart Fields
Kira uses “Smart Fields” to extract specific pieces of information like:
-
Termination dates
-
Assignment clauses
-
Jurisdiction
-
Payment terms
You can search or filter documents by these fields, making it much faster to compare contracts or summarize findings.
✨ Customizing Kira with Your Own Models
Kira’s real strength lies in custom training. You can teach it to recognize specific clauses or terms that matter to your business or industry.
How to Train Custom Models:
-
Highlight the Clause in several example documents.
-
Label It with the type of clause (e.g., “Non-compete clause”).
-
Train the Model. Kira learns from your input and improves with more examples.
This is helpful if your contracts use non-standard language or if you operate in a niche legal area.
📊 Exporting Results
After analysis, Kira lets you export your results to:
-
Excel or CSV for reporting
-
Word summaries for clients
-
Shareable dashboards
This makes it easy to communicate findings with stakeholders or prepare reports quickly.
