Cairbre AI reviews documents, drafts letters, and takes dictation — running entirely on the computer in your office. No cloud. No data retention. No third-party terms of service between you and your confidentiality obligations.
Every feature unlocked during the trial · No account required · Works without internet
In Heppner (Feb 2026), a court held that a lawyer's use of a consumer AI tool — whose terms of service permitted data retention and third-party disclosure — destroyed attorney-client privilege for the material involved.
Bar association guidance now points the same direction: the safest way to use AI with privileged material is on infrastructure you control, where client data never leaves your possession. That is exactly — and only — what Cairbre AI is.

The everyday AI tasks you'd love to hand off — done on your machine, under your control.
Drop in contracts, discovery, correspondence — PDF, Word, Excel. Ask questions, get summaries with the source right there. Whole folders at once.
Client letters, memos, engagement follow-ups, first-pass clauses. You review everything; it types the first 80%.
Speak notes and letters; transcription happens on-device. Nothing is uploaded — unlike phone dictation apps.
Ask it to organize matter notes, build file summaries, create checklists — it works step-by-step in a sandboxed workspace, with your permission for every write.
Pull the cable out — everything keeps working. The clearest possible answer to "where does our data go?"
Recommends the right AI model for your machine and warns you before anything that would run poorly. No IT department required.
If you can install Microsoft Word, you can install Cairbre.
One installer, one click. Setup detects your computer and configures itself.
Cairbre recommends the best model for your hardware and downloads it — the only time internet is needed.
Drag a matter folder in. It's indexed on your machine, for your eyes only.
Ask, draft, dictate, organize. Everything stays in the room.
The question isn't whether the AI is smart. It's where your client's file goes when you press Enter.

No software can guarantee a legal outcome, and we won't pretend otherwise. What Cairbre guarantees is architectural: your material is processed on your own computer and is never transmitted to us or anyone else. That eliminates the specific failure mode courts and bar associations have flagged — a third party holding your client's data under terms you don't control. Your professional-responsibility analysis is yours; we just make the technology align with it.
Honest answer: frontier cloud models are stronger at the high end. For the daily work of a practice — summarizing documents, first-draft letters, organizing notes, dictation — current local models are genuinely good, and they're the only option that keeps confidential material confidential. You trade a little peak brilliance for total custody of your data.
Any reasonably modern Windows PC works. With an NVIDIA graphics card responses are fast; without one, Cairbre automatically configures a lighter setup that runs on ordinary office machines and tells you exactly what to expect before you download anything.
Exactly four cases, all visible: initial setup, downloading an AI model you choose, checking for app updates, and — only if you ask a question that needs it and have it enabled — web search, which sends the search query and nothing else. Client documents, conversations, and dictation never touch the network. Turn the internet off and everything but web search keeps working.
The app stops answering until you activate a license — but nothing is deleted. Your documents, index, and conversations sit untouched on your machine, and unlocking picks up exactly where you left off. There's no account and no card on file, so nothing renews or charges.
An independent developer who has spent years building local-AI systems, and got tired of watching "private AI" mean "trust our cloud." Support goes straight to the person who wrote the code.
