Why AiLA

01

Execution, not assistance

AiLA completes tasks and puts them in front of you for review and approval. The work is done. No handholding required.

02

Data platform

Connects to Outlook, Microsoft 365, Gmail, and other apps to retrieve, structure, and redact data from inside your existing systems.

03

UK-first legal knowledge

Built-in knowledge of UK legal, including GDPR, ICO guidance, and UK employment law. Not adapted from US models. Correct for the UK from day one.

Drowning in legal admin?

Most in-house lawyers spend too much time on routine admin and not enough on higher-value work.

Problem
  • Manually classifying and routing requests is slow and error-prone. Things slip through.
  • Time spent searching for context, chasing updates, and drafting routine replies adds up fast.
Solution
  • AiLA monitors your shared inbox, recognises legal requests, and classifies by type and urgency.
  • Acknowledgments and draft responses are prepared automatically for your review.
  • Every request becomes a tracked matter with full history, searchable from the dashboard.

DSAR automation

From receipt to response package — with a lawyer in the loop only for final approval.

AiLA handles the full DSAR workflow end-to-end. Typical processing time falls from days to hours, with the lawyer reviewing and approving a completed package rather than driving the process from scratch.

1. Screening and acknowledgment
AiLA validates the request, checks identity, classifies against UK GDPR Article 15, and sends an ICO-compliant acknowledgment within the statutory deadline. Reasoning is shown for lawyer review.
2. Data gathering
AiLA searches connected systems — email, CRM, DMS, HR — for all data relating to the data subject. A PII map is built showing what was found and where.
3. Redaction
Third-party PII and commercially sensitive information is identified and redacted automatically. Redaction decisions are recorded for audit.
4. Response package
A complete package is compiled — cover letter, redacted data, exemption summary, and compliance documentation — and placed in the dashboard for lawyer approval before sending.

How long does a DSAR take?

Consumer DSAR Employee DSAR
Manual processing 8–15 hours 20–40+ hours
With AiLA Under 1 hour 2–4 hours
Key difference Usually limited data sources (CRM, email) Data across HR, email, payroll, reviews, Slack/Teams
Common complications Identity verification, third-party data Exemption review (privilege, management planning, references)

Times are indicative and vary by organisation size, data volumes, and system complexity.

Want to use AI, but worried about security?

General AI tools create real risk for legal teams handling confidential data.

Problem
  • Using general-purpose LLMs risks leaking client data and PII to third-party model providers.
  • Client confidentiality and data subject rights must be maintained at all times.
  • Uncontrolled AI use creates unknown compliance and audit risks.
Solution
  • AiLA automatically identifies PII and replaces it with synthetic data before any LLM interaction.
  • All data stays within your Azure environment. UK data residency by default.
  • Every interaction is logged for audit and compliance — full trail, always available.

How it works

AiLA connects to your systems and handles the work. You review and approve.

Connect
AiLA connects to Outlook, Exchange, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365. Also integrates with CRM, DMS, and HR systems via MCP connectors. Setup in hours, not weeks.
Classify
Incoming requests are automatically classified by type — DSAR, legal query, FOI, complaint — and by urgency. Classification reasoning is shown so lawyers can verify or override.
Execute
AiLA retrieves data, applies redaction, drafts correspondence, and assembles response packages. The work happens automatically, in the background, inside your systems.
Review and approve
Everything lands in the AiLA dashboard for lawyer review. Edit if needed, then approve. Full audit trail maintained throughout.

Questions & answers

How does AiLA integrate with our existing systems? +

AiLA connects via secure APIs to Outlook, Exchange, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 out of the box. Integration with other systems — HR, CRM, DMS — is handled through MCP connectors. Setup typically takes hours, not weeks.

Who is AiLA built for? +

In-house legal teams of 2–15 lawyers who handle compliance and admin without dedicated legal ops. Also law firms and privacy consultancies delivering outsourced compliance services to in-house clients.

Is AiLA compliant with UK GDPR and ICO guidance? +

Yes. AiLA is built specifically for the UK regulatory environment. Workflows, templates, and classification logic are built against UK GDPR, ICO guidance, and UK employment law — not adapted from US or EU models.

What does "lawyer in the loop" mean in practice? +

AiLA completes the work and puts it in front of the lawyer for review and approval before anything is sent. The lawyer doesn't draft — they review, edit if needed, and approve. For DSARs, processing time typically falls from days to hours.
