# Oria, by Agent Oria, for legal work in Quebec: the AI you can call, locked in your firm

Quebec's private AI, locked in your office

Oria, by Agent Oria, is the only commercial AI in the world installed in your office that you call and text at its own number, for your files and calendar. As of October 31, 2026, four different AIs searched in five languages and found no other product of this kind. It is Quebec's private AI, locked in your office. It saves you hours of transcription. It is an on-premise AI appliance that works on your files without using the internet.

Oria gives you more time for your files. It does the groundwork and writes your drafts, and you correct them. The corrected text becomes yours.

## Its standout features for legal work

### Call Oria from the courthouse

Oria has its own phone number. Between hearings, call or text it, and ask what an exhibit in the file says. It answers you out loud or by text.

[See: calls](/en/specifications#call-and-talk-to-your-ai-or-text-it-over-the-cellular-network)

### Your deadlines, calculated and put in your calendar

Tell Oria “calculate the appeal deadline”. It shows you the section and the calculation, and puts the deadline in your calendar. It sends you a reminder 7 days and 2 days before.

[See: deadlines](/en/specifications#your-deadlines-calculated-and-put-in-your-calendar)

### Find a document without knowing its name

Can't remember a document's name, or which folder it's in? Describe what you do remember, and Oria finds it.

[See: search](/en/specifications#find-a-document-without-knowing-its-name)

### Your meetings transcribed, speaker by speaker

For every minute it works, Oria transcribes 24 minutes of a meeting with several speakers. It writes the name of each speaker whose voice it has learned to recognize.

### All the law and all the case law

For law, Oria's knowledge base is Nestor, which holds all the law of Quebec and Canada, and all the case law. Ask it what a section says, and it quotes it with its source.

### Practise your oral argument against an opposing AI

Among AIs installed in offices in Quebec, Oria, by Agent Oria, is the only one with which you prepare your oral argument against an opposing AI. As of October 31, 2026, no other office-installed AI among the eleven Quebec offers whose pages we read said so. That opposing AI knows all the law and all the case law. Choose whether it attacks or defends, and answer it as you would at the hearing. The argument you draw from it stays yours.

## What Oria does for each legal profession

### Lawyers

Oria writes your drafts and puts your arguments to the test. Before you send a contract, say “make a clean copy of the Dupont contract”, and it prepares the copy.

### Notaries

Are you unsure about a PDF in your files? Type `/authenticite` (authenticity), then its name. Oria tells you which software produced it, with the dates and changes recorded in it.

### Mediators

Oria reads the documents the parties give you from start to finish, up to 500 pages when it's set up for one person. It also drafts your notes and your letters.

### Court reporters

Oria listens to each passage again with a second transcription tool and shows you which ones to check. The document stays marked BROUILLON (draft) until you confirm your two read-throughs.

### Bailiffs

Attach a photo of what you saw, and Oria tells you what's in it. You dictate your reports, and Oria types them up.

### Investigators and police officers

For a video stored on the machine, Oria tells you what is said and when.

### Judges

Ask Oria for the timeline of a case. One sentence is enough, and it prepares the timeline from the documents you attach.

## What the professional orders say

The Barreau du Québec draws a line between an AI system open to the public and a closed one.

Here is what [its guide on generative AI](https://www.barreau.qc.ca/media/bnddaqfd/guide-intelligence-artificielle-generative.pdf) says, in our translation:

“The mere act of entering information protected by professional secrecy into such an open system (that is, a system accessible to the public and whose data is not stored internally) constitutes a breach, even without actual reproduction or disclosure (see note 5). On the other hand, closed systems, developed and deployed within an organization and keeping data internally, reduce these risks.”

> « Le simple fait d'entrer des informations protégées par le secret professionnel dans un tel système ouvert (c'est-à-dire un système accessible au public et dont les données ne sont pas stockées en interne) constitue une violation, même sans reproduction ou divulgation effectives (voir note 5).
>
> En revanche, les systèmes en circuit fermé, développés et déployés au sein d'une organisation et conservant les données en interne, réduisent ces risques. »

With Oria, your files stay in-house, on the machine in your office.

[See: what the guide calls for, point by point](/en/barreau-du-quebec-generative-ai)

The Chambre des notaires points out that technological tools change nothing about data confidentiality.

Its [page on notarial security in the digital age](https://www.cnq.org/votre-notaire/un-professionnel-numerique/securite-notariale-a-lere-technologique/) says this, in our translation:

“Using technological tools does not change this obligation in any way.”

> « L’utilisation d’outils technologiques ne change rien à cette obligation. »

With Oria, your client files stay in your office.

## Your questions about AI in legal work

**Can a legal AI keep my files confidential?** Yes. Your files and your conversations with Oria stay on the machine, in your office. [See: the CLOUD Act, professional secrecy and Law 25](/en/trust#can-the-cloud-act-reach-your-files).

**Is there a legal AI that works offline?** Yes. Oria works in your office, on your documents. It answers without using the internet. [See: how a local AI works in an office](/en/local-ai-in-the-office).

## A computer all your own

Oria is a computer for your office alone, and the AI inside it. Your files stay on the machine. Lock its master switch with your password, and Oria becomes a vault, cut off from the internet and from all outside access.
