Juro Goes Direct to ChatGPT For Contract AI

Contracting platform Juro has announced that it will help its customers to go direct to ChatGPT to review and interrogate contracts, allowing them to tap OpenAI’s latest capabilities. But why do it like this? For AL the answer is: ‘cut out the middleman’ and stop pretending your product’s core AI skills are coming from anywhere else.

I.e. yes, there is a dense application layer in Juro that helps inhouse lawyers do their contract work, but there is no need to dress up its AI skills as their own, and it’s simpler just to send customers to OpenAI so they can ask questions about their contracts. To this site it’s refreshing to just say: ‘Look, that’s where the AI is coming from, let’s just send you there.’

Also, after the recent Vals test showed how well ChatGPT performed on legal tasks, it has to be said: why not just do this?

Juro customers can thus now connect their Juro workspace and repository to ChatGPT via model context protocol (MCP). This enables them to ask natural language questions to find information or perform tasks with their contracts.

Customers in beta testing have used ChatGPT to find contracts, identify particular terms, risks or deadlines, and even write new templates based on existing contracts. They can select the model and the mode, (for example, Deep Research) in ChatGPT, they said.

MCP connectors are in beta with OpenAI, but Juro has empowered its customer base to try this experimental technology as soon as possible, to realise productivity gains for their businesses, they added.

Juro CEO and co-founder, Richard Mabey, said: ‘Juro has always met our users in the tools in which they already live. According to our State of In-house report 2025, more than 90% of in-house lawyers now use off-the-shelf AI tools, like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude – so legal tech products need to slot into existing conversational tools. We’re proud to be the first legal tech company to offer this to our customers.’

While Juro customer and beta tester Linus Hagman, Head of Legal at Kognity, added: ‘Juro’s ChatGPT integration is a true game-changer, it truly redefines how we’ll work with contract data in the future. With Juro accessible via MCP, both I and other business stakeholders can instantly access reliable and actionable contract insights through a simple prompt.’

Is this a big deal? Well, when AL first read the info they sent over, it was hard to see the news. You’re connecting to OpenAI….? But, everyone does that, right? Then it dawned….the key aspect here seems to be that they’re just sending you direct. The pretence that Juro, or any other legal tech company, ‘owns’ the AI abilities inside the product has been dropped. There’s no big deal made about ‘fine-tuning’, or anything else, it’s just pure, unadulterated ChatGPT doing its thing……but connected to Juro and your docs via its platform.

AL asked the CEO, Mabey, about this. He replied: ‘It’s true that most legal techs operate on an API call to OpenAI. The difference is that most (all?) require you to operate within their tool.

‘We have gone in a different direction – leveraging ChatGPT’s own interface vs build our own chat. This allows you to get the benefit of Juro without switching to another (chat-based) tool. It also means you get all the benefits of developments in ChatGPT, which we bet will develop more and faster than any legal tech.’

So, what started off as something that looked like a very general bit of news, has in fact turned out to be quite a revelation.
