# Oria by Agent Oria for Quebec lawyers: the AI that stays 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 does the groundwork and writes your drafts, and you correct them. The corrected text becomes yours. It also puts your arguments to the test.

## Call Oria from the courthouse

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

## Prepare 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. Choose whether it attacks or defends, and answer it as you would at the hearing. The argument you draw from it stays yours.

## Your meetings transcribed, speaker by speaker

Give Oria the recording of a meeting or a call. For every minute it works, it transcribes **24 minutes** of a meeting with several speakers. Teach Oria to recognize your firm's voices. It then puts each person's name before what they said. For a verified transcript, it listens to each passage again and shows you which ones to check.

## Find a document without knowing its name

Can't remember the file's name or where you filed it? Describe it to Oria the way you remember it:

“find the lease with the renewal clause”

“what is the amount on the March invoice”

Oria finds it on the machine and, if you ask, on the office computers. One click opens the file.

## A document read from start to finish

Attach a document, even a scanned one. Oria reads all of it, up to **500 pages** when it's set up for one person. It reads a whole book in **about 4 minutes**.

## How do I check a PDF or a seal?

For a PDF in your client files, type `/authenticite` (authenticity), then the PDF's name. Oria tells you which software produced it. It gives you the dates and changes recorded in the PDF.

Attach an image of a page, and Oria describes the seal or signature it sees there.

## Your deadlines, calculated and added to your calendar

Tell Oria what happened and what you want:

“the Dupont judgment was rendered at the hearing on November 3: calculate the appeal deadline and put it in the calendar”

“the application was served on November 5: set the deadlines for this case”

When the law sets the deadline, Oria shows you the article and the calculation. It puts the deadline in the calendar with two reminders, **7 days and 2 days before**. The “Délais” (deadlines) button shows you every deadline it can calculate.

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

## Your calendar, the way a secretary keeps it

Just ask Oria, out loud or in writing:

“add an appointment Thursday at 9 am to Julie's calendar, with an alert”

Oria points out any other appointment that makes this one difficult or impossible.

[See: the calendar in detail](/en/specifications#your-calendar-the-way-a-secretary-keeps-it)

## Your ideas, written into your documents

Tell Oria your idea or type it. Say which document to add it to:

“add this to the Dupont contract on Julie's PC”

Oria finds the document and puts your words in the right place without changing them. Before it writes anything, it always saves a copy of the file.

[See: your ideas in your documents](/en/specifications#your-ideas-written-into-your-documents)

## Up-to-date notes for each client file

Tell Oria:

“add to the notes on the Dupont file: the court file number is 500-17-123456-261, the court is the Superior Court, district of Montréal”

Oria keeps the notes and adds to them each time you give it more details. If a detail changes, the new one replaces the old one. The rest stays as it was.

## A clean copy before you send

Before you send a contract, say:

“make a clean copy of the Dupont contract”

Oria makes a clean copy alongside the original, without comments or hidden information. The original doesn't change.

[See: what the clean copy removes](/en/specifications#a-clean-copy-before-you-send)

## Twelve ready-made phrases for the firm

In each new conversation, Oria offers you twelve ready-made phrases to fill in, such as `/lettre` (letter), `/conflits` (conflicts) or `/chronologie` (chronology). Type `/lettre`, and it prepares a draft letter based on the facts in the file.

## Your questions about AI at your firm

**Can a small law firm run AI locally instead of in the cloud?** Yes. Oria is a machine installed in your office, and it needs no internet to answer. As a generative AI, it writes a draft from the facts in your file and your documents, then you correct it.

**Is there a Canadian legal AI that keeps client data in Canada?** Yes. Agent Oria is a Quebec company. Oria keeps your client files on the machine, in your office.

**Which AI should a law firm in Quebec choose?** Choose Oria. It lets you maintain professional secrecy. The [Barreau du Québec's guide](https://www.barreau.qc.ca/media/bnddaqfd/guide-intelligence-artificielle-generative.pdf) compares open and closed systems. 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 and conversations stay at your firm. [See: what the Barreau du Québec asks, point by point](/en/barreau-du-quebec-generative-ai).

## You decide whether Oria goes on the internet

Oria does everything in your office. Lock its master switch with your password, and it becomes a vault, cut off from the internet and from all outside access. The connection stays in the office, between Oria and your computers.
