Build your own agent. We handle the governance.
Write the instructions. Connect your firm's data. Set the verification rules and the compliance policies. Every custom agent runs through the same Verify, Comply, Prove pipeline as our built-in agents — your logic, our governance.
How it works
You define the agent. We govern every output.
Custom agents run on the same governance as every other LegalAI Space agent. Same dashboard for your COLP, same audit trail, same compliance checks. Custom means flexible, not ungoverned.
Define your agent
Instructions, data sources, rules, tools, and output format — all configured through a no-code builder.
Your agent performs the task
Using your instructions, your data, and your rules — executing the workflow you designed.
Independent verification
Every output is checked against the databases and thresholds you configured — plus our default legal verification.
Your policies + regulatory rules
Your firm's custom compliance policies are checked alongside SRA rules and EU AI Act requirements.
Full audit trail generated
A tamper-proof, signed record of what the agent did, what was checked, which compliance checks ran, and the results.
Custom agents
Compose an agent from governed parts
Every custom agent is built from these pieces. No code — set it up in a visual builder and test it on sample inputs before you go live.
Custom Instructions
Say exactly what your agent does. Set its persona, how it reasons, the output format, and where its remit ends. Write it in plain English — no code.
Your Firm's Data
Connect the knowledge your agent needs — precedent libraries, playbooks, know-how, client instructions, template banks. It works from your firm's expertise, not generic training data.
Verification Rules
Configure how outputs are verified. Choose which databases to check against, set confidence thresholds, define what counts as a pass or fail, and specify how edge cases are escalated.
Compliance Policies
Set your firm's own rules once and have them applied on every output — on top of the SRA and EU AI Act rules already built in. Practice-area requirements, client obligations, information barriers, and risk thresholds.
Tools and Integrations
Connect your agent to external systems — APIs, internal databases, document and case management, third-party legal databases. It reads from and writes to the systems your firm already uses.
Output Configuration
Control what your agent produces and how. Define output templates, formatting standards, metadata requirements, and delivery rules. Every output matches your firm's quality expectations.
Use cases
What firms are building
Examples of custom agents firms have described in our research conversations. Each takes minutes to set up, and every output is governed automatically.
Regulatory Change Tracker
Watches the regulators that matter to your practice areas, works out the impact on your clients, and writes briefing notes in your firm's format.
Panel Tender Assistant
Set up with your firm's credentials, experience, and tender templates, it drafts first answers to RFP questions from your real track record.
Sector-Specific Research Agent
A research agent set up for your sectors — financial services, healthcare, technology, energy — that knows the regulatory frameworks and the language your clients use.
Client Reporting Agent
Builds regular client reports by pulling matter data, summarising activity, and formatting it in your client's preferred template — governed on every data point.
Internal Policy Checker
Knows your firm's internal policies — fees, conflicts, information barriers, authority limits — and checks work against them before it goes out.
Precedent Analyst
Connected to your precedent library, it matches new instructions to existing precedents, finds the right templates, and drafts from your firm's own language and clauses.
Custom, not ungoverned
Custom doesn't mean ungoverned
Whatever its instructions, data, or setup, every custom agent runs through the same Verify, Comply, Prove pipeline. Your COLP dashboard shows it alongside the built-in agents. The governance comes from the platform, not the agent.
Same verification
Citations checked against authoritative databases, plus your custom verification rules
Same compliance
SRA rules, the EU AI Act, and your firm's own rules — all checked automatically
Same audit trail
A tamper-proof, signed record of every action and decision

The same COLP governance dashboard — custom agents appear here alongside built-in agents, with the same verification metrics and audit trail.

- 01
LegalAI Space is a technology platform. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Custom agents assist with legal work but do not replace qualified legal counsel or professional judgement.
- 02
Custom Agent Builder is available in early access. Configuration options and capabilities continue to evolve, and the exact feature set available to your firm may vary.
- 03
Custom compliance policies configured by firms supplement — but do not replace — the platform's built-in regulatory compliance checking (SRA, EU AI Act). Firms are responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of their custom rules.
