Philippine legal research and drafting, grounded in law and jurisprudence.

Frequently asked questions

What is Atorni?

Atorni is a Philippine AI Legal Assistant built for Philippine law. It answers legal questions and helps you draft and study contracts, affidavits, and other legal documents — with citations to actual Supreme Court decisions, Republic Acts, and other Philippine statutes, so you can verify every answer.

What does it mean that Atorni is in Open Beta?

Atorni is in Open Beta — it is live and usable, but still actively being tested and improved. Features may change, be added, or be temporarily unavailable, and you may occasionally encounter bugs, slower responses, or gaps in coverage as we expand. Atorni remains a legal information, research, and drafting-support tool, not legal advice, and answers should always be verified against the cited primary sources. Your feedback is always welcome — it helps us make Atorni better.

Is Atorni free to use?

Yes. A free tier covers lighter, everyday legal research and drafting with our faster models; paid tiers add more volume, the advanced and premium models, and document upload. Request professional access and we will review your request and follow up by email.

Can I upload my own documents?

Yes, on any paid tier. Upload PDFs, Word files, or images — contracts, pleadings, case files — and Atorni reads them alongside Philippine law to answer your questions. Free accounts get the full chat and citations.

What legal sources does Atorni use?

Atorni draws from Supreme Court decisions (G.R. Nos., A.M. Nos., B.M. Nos.), Republic Acts, Commonwealth Acts, Presidential Decrees, Executive Orders, and other Philippine statutes published on LawPhil and the SC E-Library. We are continually expanding the corpus with more Philippine legal materials, and if there is a source you would like to see included, we would love to hear it — just send your suggestion to hello@atorni.ph.

Is it safe to share the details of my legal queries with Atorni?

Atorni only uses what you type to answer your question. As a precaution, leave out names and other identifying details you do not need — you can describe a situation in general terms and still get a useful answer. On any tier you can also turn on Mask as a best-effort safeguard — it replaces names and similar personal details with neutral placeholders before your message reaches the AI, then restores them in the reply you see. You can read how we handle your data in our Privacy Policy.

How is my data kept secure?

Your chats and any documents you upload are encrypted and stored privately under your account, so they cannot be read directly from the database. We use what you share only to answer your questions — we never sell it or use it to train AI models. When your account is deleted, your data is permanently removed.

Are the documents I upload private?

Yes. Documents you upload are visible only to you and encrypted in storage. Atorni uses them only to help answer your own questions — they are never shared with other users or used to train AI.

Does Atorni understand Filipino and legal Spanish?

Yes. Atorni understands questions in English and Filipino, and recognizes the Latin and Spanish terms that appear throughout Philippine legal texts.
