DocIQ Sphere vs Legartis
Both DocIQ and Legartis are Swiss-built legal AI platforms. Legartis (Zurich) specializes in contract review with 150+ pre-trained clause types, a Word add-in, and GDPR-compliant Swiss hosting with locally stored LLMs. Sphere is a broader document intelligence platform covering editing, research, clause banks, data rooms, and document creation. Legartis goes deep on contract review. Sphere goes wide on the full document lifecycle.
What Legartis does well
- 150+ pre-trained clause types with F1 > 90% accuracy
- Contract Playbook Creator: auto-generates playbooks from domain knowledge
- Word add-in for flagging missing, incorrect, and irregular clauses
- GDPR-compliant Swiss servers with locally stored LLMs (no data exchange with OpenAI/Google)
- Natively supports German, English, and French
- Focused contract review: strong at one thing rather than broad
Where DocIQ Sphere differs
Full document editing, not just review
Legartis reviews contracts and flags issues via a Word add-in. Sphere reviews and edits: natural language instructions produce Word-native tracked changes. Insert clauses, replace terms, add comments, restructure paragraphs. Edit both source and output documents directly in the browser.
- Native OOXML tracked changes
- In-app editing without Word
- 40+ agent tools for document manipulation
Legal research across 6 databases
Legartis focuses on contract analysis and does not include legal research. Sphere integrates Fedlex, BGE, EUR-Lex, CJEU, ECHR, and Commentary databases. Research findings flow into edits, comments, and playbooks within the same workflow.
Document creation and data rooms
Legartis is a review tool. Sphere also creates documents from natural language prompts and includes built-in virtual data rooms with role-based access, audit trails, and AI-powered extraction. A broader platform for the full document lifecycle.
- Document creation from prompt (any type, any jurisdiction)
- Built-in data rooms with immutable audit trails
- Knowledge base with 15+ format indexing
Deployment flexibility
Legartis runs on GDPR-compliant Swiss servers. Sphere offers the same Swiss/EU hosting plus on-premise and air-gapped deployment for organizations that need documents to stay on their own infrastructure.
- Managed cloud (CH/EU), on-premise, or air-gapped
- Local AI model inference for classified environments
- Full feature parity across deployment modes
