Bryter, the Berlin-based legal automation company, has launched Beamon AI, a new suite of AI agents for lawyers. (See AL interview with CEO Michael Grupp below).
This marks an expansion of its offering, which already included some agentic capabilities. The enlarged suite includes:
Assist: a chat-based assistant that supports legal professionals;
Draft: a Microsoft Word based drafting solution, including redlining and comparison of documents;
and Extract: a diligence solution for high volume contract and document review (i.e. things like M&A deals, or large-scale real estate transactions).
And in terms of project types, they stated that the following are good examples:
‘Claims processing app: process a claim and generate a response or process court-filed documents
File-to-timeline converter for claims, files, and databases
Billing guidelines workflow to review and correct invoices and matter descriptions
Commercial document reviewer for standard contracts like NDAs and DPAs
ISDA review
Administrative Document handling for public processes/procedures (e.g. PPP-Applications, public filings, insolvency).’
For each type of task that a user has requested, which may also include benchmarking against playbooks, timeline generation, or comparing documents, Beamon ‘will select the most suitable and powerful approach, agent, and [LLM] model’.
All well and good. But, how is Bryter approaching this?
The company explained that their approach is all about ‘actionable AI’ which is ‘integrated with a workflow platform enabling users to not only benefit from AI capabilities, but also to execute end-to-end legal processes’.
This, they say, will enable ‘lawyers to automate entire tasks from start to finish’ and that ‘AI handles the analysis; workflows handle the execution’.
Their approach echoes earlier thinking at the company about how legal work automation (which was its initial focus via expert systems) and AI (which it went heavily into more recently) fit together. I.e. they’ve already spent years on workflows, adding in genAI-connected agents then provides more impact.
Is this a big deal? Well, as with any new development, the proof will be in the pudding. But, one thing Bryter has got in its favour, as noted, is having spent years thinking about workflows and that will help with getting agents to perform as desired.
And as mentioned elsewhere in AL, the challenge with agentic flows is that chaining tasks is great and can produce major efficiency gains, but they have to A) be accurate in terms of output, and B) work smoothly.
Either way, if anyone thought that agentic AI was only going to be ‘real’ much later in the year, or even as late as next year, then the answer is that it’s already here and there are now multiple legal tech companies providing their take on agentic AI solutions for lawyers.
AL Interview with CEO Michael Grupp
Why do this and why now?
As always, we listened to our customers. They want more than a legal copilot that chats and drafts — they want to take action: generate documents, trigger workflows, store outputs. That’s where most AI tools fall short.
While others are just starting to bolt workflows onto copilots, we flipped the script: as the workflow company, we built a copilot suite optimized for automation from the ground up.
To put it bluntly: it takes five years to build a strong workflow platform — it took us just a few quarters to build a copilot suite on top of it.
How is this different to what you offered before?
We started with workflows. Then came AI-powered features. Now, with BEAMON, we bring everything together into one clean, integrated suite. Also, BEAMON Assist itself is very powerful. It is an agentic system with several modes that can do a lot.
It’s a true legal productivity system — not just for legal engineers or tech teams anymore, but for every lawyer who wants smart tools to get more done.
Who is the ideal customer for this?
Any law firm or in-house team that wants more than just “ChatGPT for lawyers.”
If you want to go from a draft clause to a full response to a legal claim — all at the push of a button — this is built for you. BEAMON handles the whole task, not just parts of it.
And how is the company going now?
We’ve just had one of our strongest quarters yet. Usage is up, the product is stronger than ever — and the launch of our new products have added momentum.
With that, of course, comes new demand. We’re growing and hiring across the board: Sales, Customer Success, Sales Engineering, and Product.
Thanks Michael.
