Mahogany: The Local AI Assistant Collection for Lawyers
Seven AI Assistants. One Connected Workflow. Running Privately on Your Own Computer.
Mahogany gives you a trained team for intake, chronologies, research, drafting, deposition prep, discovery, and billing, built to run on local AI right on your own machine. Each assistant provides its work for the next, so your case builds on itself from first consultation to final invoice, and your client files never have to leave your computer. Prefer the cloud? It works there too. If you can copy and paste, you can use it.
One-time purchase. 12 months of updates included. 30-day money-back guarantee.
I The Problem
You don’t need more AI hype. You need your evenings back.
You’ve heard AI will change legal practice. Maybe you’ve tried it. You opened a chat window, typed a question, and got back something generic, confidently wrong, or unusable.
Or maybe you haven’t started at all, because you don’t know where to begin, can’t afford to experiment on a live matter, or aren’t comfortable sending client files to someone else’s servers.
Meanwhile, the work keeps coming:
- Intake questionnaires with a limitations deadline buried on page six
- Thousands of pages of documents and nobody sure where the key fact actually appears
- Research where the adverse authority surfaces only after opposing counsel finds it
- Blank pages at 9 p.m. with a brief due tomorrow
- Discovery responses and privilege logs that are tedious, high-risk, and never-ending
- The last hour of every day spent reconstructing what you billed
AI can help with all of it.
But a blank chat box isn’t a system. It has no training, no structure, and no idea what came before.
II The Solution
Meet your new support team: seven specialists that work together.
Mahogany is a complete collection of seven AI assistants, each built for one core part of legal work, all designed to pass work to one another, and all built to run on local AI on your own computer.
The output of one assistant becomes the input for the next.
Your chronology feeds your research, your drafting, your deposition outlines, and your discovery. The facts stay consistent and the work compounds. You review and approve the final product, because you’re the attorney and the judgment is yours.
III The Seven Assistants
Seven Assistants. One Connected Workflow. Running Privately on Your Own Computer.
-
Client Intake Assistant
Walk into every consultation already prepared.
It summarizes prospective-client questionnaires, pulls out names for your conflicts check, flags urgent deadlines, and generates targeted consultation questions. No more deadline buried on page six.
- Receives
- The prospective client’s questionnaire, intake call notes, and any documents they provided, from the attorney.
- Hands off
- An Intake Summary to the attorney, a conflicts list for the firm’s conflicts process, and a preliminary timeline for the Chronology Assistant if the firm takes the matter.
-
Chronology Assistant
Answer “Where does it say that?” in seconds.
It handles all fact extraction: timelines, cast of characters, document indexes, transcript digests, conflicts and gaps in the record, and internal fact summaries. The result is one reliable version of the facts your whole team works from.
- Receives
- Case materials from the attorney (transcripts, documents, notes, intake materials), plus the latest chronology when updating and Suggested Chronology Additions from Deposition and Testimony Preparation or Discovery.
- Hands off
- The Master Chronology, Cast of Characters, Document Index, Transcript Digests, and Conflicts and Gaps Report to Research, Legal Writing, Discovery, and Deposition and Testimony Preparation, with internal fact summaries going to the attorney.
-
Research Assistant
Know what your authority supports and what it doesn’t before the other side points it out.
It analyzes the authority you upload and produces research memos, authority tables, and research plans, and it cite-checks your drafts. Because it works from the law you provide, you get analysis grounded in real sources, including the adverse authority you need to address.
- Receives
- Uploaded legal authorities and the legal question from the attorney, with chronology outputs for the facts and drafts to cite-check.
- Hands off
- Research Memos and Authority Tables to Legal Writing and Discovery, and Research Plans and Cite-Check Reports to the attorney.
-
Legal Writing Assistant
Never start from a blank page again.
It drafts motions, briefs, discovery motions, petitions, declarations, contracts, estate documents, client letters, and external summaries, and the drafts can sound like you.
- Receives
- Authority Tables from Research, chronology outputs from Chronology, Dispute Summaries from Discovery, and instructions, style guides, and templates from the attorney.
- Hands off
- Draft documents (motions, briefs, contracts, letters, declarations, and external summaries) with a source map and placeholder list, to the attorney.
-
Deposition and Testimony Preparation Assistant
Walk into the room with every question, exhibit, and impeachment point at your fingertips.
It builds deposition and examination outlines (direct, cross, redirect, and examinations under oath), exhibit plans, impeachment charts, and witness prep materials. Everything is linked to its source and ready to use.
- Receives
- Chronology outputs, including Transcript Digests of completed testimony, from Chronology, and key exhibits, goals, and the proceeding type from the attorney.
- Hands off
- Examination outlines, exhibit plans, impeachment charts, and witness prep packets to the attorney, document requests to Discovery, and Suggested Chronology Additions to Chronology.
-
Discovery Assistant
Take the heaviest, least glamorous work off your plate.
It handles written discovery and responses, objections, privilege logs, batch document review, deficiency and meet-and-confer letters, and notices and subpoenas. You get precise, defensible work done on time.
- Receives
- Chronology outputs from Chronology, Authority Tables from Research, and discovery requests, documents for review, and existing logs from the attorney.
- Hands off
- Discovery requests, responses, privilege logs, review logs, and letters to the attorney, Dispute Summaries to Legal Writing, and Suggested Chronology Additions to Chronology.
-
Billing Narrative Assistant
Reclaim the last hour of your day.
It turns your rough time notes into clear billing entries that follow the billing guidelines you provide. That means less time reconstructing your day and fewer write-downs and rejected invoices.
- Receives
- Time notes, task lists, calendar entries, and any billing guidelines or codes from the attorney.
- Hands off
- Time entries, compliance notes, and totals to the attorney.
You review and approve the final product, because you’re the attorney and the judgment is yours.
IV How the Workflow Works
One case. One flow. Nothing lost between steps.
-
Step 1
Start with intake.
Upload the questionnaire. Get a summary, conflict names, deadlines, and consultation questions.
-
Step 2
Build the facts.
Upload case materials to the Chronology Assistant, along with your intake summary. Get your timeline, cast of characters, and document index.
-
Step 3
Put the facts to work.
Carry your chronology into research, drafting, deposition prep, and discovery. Each assistant builds on what came before.
-
Step 4
Close the loop.
Turn your time notes into billing entries with the Billing Narrative Assistant.
-
Step 5
You review.
Every output is prepared for your final review and approval. Mahogany does the heavy lifting, and you make the calls.
V New to AI?
This Is Built for You, Too.
Many attorneys are curious about AI but don’t know where to start, which prompts to use, or how to avoid wasting hours on trial and error. Mahogany removes that barrier.
No prompt writing required.
The assistants are already built. You copy, paste, and upload your documents.
The assistants guide you.
Each one knows its place in the workflow and tells you what it needs to complete the task, including anything you may have missed.
Set it up once.
Load the assistants into an easy-to-use local AI app once, and you’re ready to work from there.
And if you’re already comfortable with AI, you get a structured, connected system that replaces a scattered collection of one-off prompts.
VI Private by Design: Built for Local AI
Your client files stay on your computer.
Many attorneys want AI’s help but aren’t comfortable sending privileged documents to someone else’s servers. Mahogany was built for exactly that attorney. Run it with a local AI model on your own computer, and the work happens on your machine, not in the cloud.
- Your data stays with you. Case files, drafts, and client information aren’t sent to an outside AI provider when you run locally.
- No per-message cloud fees. Local AI runs on your own hardware, so there are no usage charges from an AI provider.
- Work offline. Once it’s set up, you don’t need an internet connection to get work done.
Prefer the cloud? Mahogany also works with cloud AI models, including privacy-focused plans. Either way, you stay in control of where your client information goes.
VII See Mahogany in Action
Watch the demo.
This demo was run locally using a 1B model deliberately, one of the hardest conditions to give it. The assistant held up. On the 8–14B model recommendation, the assistants have far more room to reason, draft, and handle nuance.

- Use whichever model works best for you. New to local AI? Start with an 8B to 14B model.
VIII How It Compares
You have options. Here’s why this one makes sense.
Versus Using ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI chat tool on your own
A general chatbot may not know legal workflows, needs careful prompting every time, and usually means uploading client files to a provider’s cloud. Mahogany gives you seven purpose-built assistants that know their jobs, ask for what they need, and work with one another, and they can run entirely on your own computer.
Versus Enterprise legal AI platforms
Enterprise legal AI tools are powerful, but they’re often priced for large firms and tied to recurring subscriptions and long contracts. They can also lock you into their platform. Mahogany is a one-time purchase built to run on local AI on your own hardware, so your client data doesn’t have to live on a vendor’s platform.
Versus Prompt packs and prompt libraries
A prompt library is a collection of disconnected instructions. You still have to figure out which to use, in what order, and how to connect the results. Mahogany provides a workflow. These assistants are designed to take the prior assistant’s output and move the case forward.
Versus AI courses and training programs
Courses teach you about AI. Mahogany gets the work done starting on day one. You learn by doing, on real tasks, with assistants that guide you through each step.
| Generic AI Chat | Enterprise Legal AI | Prompt Packs | Mahogany | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for legal workflows | No | Yes | Partially | Yes |
| Assistants connected into one workflow | No | Varies | No | Yes |
| Built to run locally on your own computer | No | Typically cloud-based | Depends on your tool | Yes |
| Beginner-friendly, copy/paste use | No | Varies | No | Yes |
| Assistants tell you what they need | No | Varies | No | Yes |
| Pricing | Subscription | Recurring, often annual contracts | One-time | $1,495 one-time, perpetual license |

The Value, Plainly
A single legal AI subscription can cost nearly $3,000 a year, every year, even when billed annually. Mahogany costs $1,495 once, which is roughly what a few billable hours earn. If it gives you back a couple of hours a month on chronologies and deposition prep, it has paid for itself well within your first year. And that’s before counting one deadline caught at intake, one adverse case found before opposing counsel raised it, or one invoice paid without a write-down.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: Try It on a Real Case
Install Mahogany, run a live matter through it from chronology to discovery, and see how the work compounds. If it isn’t right for your practice within 30 days, email Mahogany Support for your refund in full.
XI Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not technical.
Mahogany was designed with beginners in mind. If you can copy and paste, you can use it.
Read the full answerI’m worried about accuracy.
The Research Assistant works from the authority you upload and cite-checks drafts against it. You review and verify everything before it’s filed or sent.
Read the full answerI’m worried about confidentiality.
Run it on a local model, and your case files and client information are processed on your own computer rather than sent to an outside AI provider.
Read the full answerI don’t have time to learn a new program.
Set it up once. Load the assistants into an app like LM Studio one time, and you’re ready to work from there.
Read the full answerWhy not just use ChatGPT on my own?
A general chatbot may not know legal workflows. Mahogany’s assistants know their jobs, ask for what they need, and work with one another.
See the comparisonI’m new to AI. Will I be able to use this?
Yes. Mahogany was designed with beginners in mind. You copy and paste the assistants into your local AI app (or cloud AI tool) and upload the documents for your task. Each assistant tells you what it needs, so you’re never guessing.
Can I run it locally, on my own computer?
Yes, and that’s what it’s built for. Mahogany runs on local AI models through an app like LM Studio, so the work happens on your own hardware and your client files stay with you. It’s built well enough to produce solid work even on a small model, as our demo shows. If you’d rather use a cloud AI model, it works there too.
What about client confidentiality?
Mahogany was built with confidentiality in mind. Run it on a local model, and your case files and client information are processed on your own computer rather than sent to an outside AI provider. If you choose a cloud model instead, review that provider’s data and privacy settings and your jurisdiction’s ethics guidance, just as you would with any technology that handles client information.
What kind of computer do I need?
For the best experience, a Windows PC or Mac with 32GB of RAM is recommended. On Apple, any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 through the current M-series) works, and a MacBook with 32GB of RAM runs Mahogany beautifully. A 24GB Mac is a reasonable middle option.
Will the AI make up cases or citations?
The Research Assistant works from the authority you upload, so its analysis is grounded in sources you’ve provided rather than whatever the model remembers. It also cite-checks drafts against that authority. Keep in mind that the AI model you choose affects the quality of the output. If you already use a model that works well for you, keep using it. If you’re new to local AI, starting with an 8B to 14B model (8 to 14 billion parameters) is recommended. As with any work product, you review and verify everything before it’s filed or sent.
Is the attorney still in charge of the work?
Always. The assistants summarize, organize, draft, and format, and you decide what gets used, revised, filed, or sent. Every output comes to you for review before it goes anywhere. You bring the strategy and professional judgment. The system clears the ground so you can spend more of your time on exactly that.
Do I have to use all seven assistants in order?
No. The assistants are designed to work together, and you’ll get the most value from the full workflow, but each one also works on its own. Need only billing entries today? Use the Billing Narrative Assistant.
How does the workflow actually connect?
Each assistant produces an output you can upload to the next one. For example, your Chronology Assistant’s timeline and document index become inputs for research, drafting, deposition prep, and discovery. Everyone works from the same facts.
Does it remember my case between sessions?
Each assistant works from what you provide in that session. That’s why the workflow is built around outputs: you save each assistant’s work product and upload it to the next session or assistant, so nothing is lost and you control exactly what information is used.
Will the drafts sound like me?
The Legal Writing Assistant can match your voice. Provide samples of your writing and it drafts in your style, so you’re editing rather than rewriting.
What practice areas does it work for?
The assistants cover tasks common across most practices: intake, fact development, research, drafting, depositions, discovery, and billing. The Legal Writing Assistant also handles transactional and estate documents such as contracts and estate planning documents.
Is this really a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay $1,495 once and the license is yours permanently. The first 12 months of updates are included.
What happens after the first year?
Mahogany keeps working exactly as it does. If you want new features and improvements, you can renew updates for $299/year. With the 3-Attorney Firm Pack, renewal is $799/year and $1,199/year for the 5-Attorney Firm Pack. If you don’t renew, nothing breaks.
If I use a cloud model, are there extra costs?
Not from Mahogany. Your license covers everything, whichever way you run it. If you choose a cloud model, you use your own account with that provider and pay them directly for your usage, just as you would anywhere else. Run it locally, and there’s no usage cost at all.
Do you offer pricing for firms?
Yes. Firm packs are available for 3 attorneys ($3,995) and 5 attorneys ($5,995), and every seat includes 12 months of updates and the 30-day guarantee. For larger firms, let’s discuss.
How do I receive Mahogany?
As a download, available right after your purchase. You can start using it the same day.
How does the refund work?
You’re covered by Mahogany’s 30-day money-back guarantee. Email support within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Your license is deactivated when the refund is processed.
Can I move my license to a new computer?
Yes. Your license belongs to you, not to a machine. When you upgrade or replace your computer, move Mahogany over and keep working.
What software do I need?
Just an app that runs AI models on your own computer, often called a local AI app. Use whichever one you prefer. LM Studio is recommended because it’s easy to set up: you load the assistants once and you’re ready to go from there. Prefer the cloud? You can also use a cloud AI model with a privacy-focused subscription.
