The innovative Agentic Legal AI platform, 8rney, has officially entered the market, aiming to revolutionize the way legal professionals conduct research, drafting, document management, and matter management. This groundbreaking platform is the brainchild of Aryaman Singh, an alumnus of RGNUL, Patiala, and Abhimanyu Dhull, a seasoned entrepreneur with experience in legal AI ventures such as Estavel AI, now known as BlackcoatAI.
8rney’s core philosophy is to usher in a new era of legal AI, driven by trustworthy agents capable of performing real legal work. The company’s long-term vision anticipates a future where every lawyer collaborates with a team of AI agents. These agents will handle tasks such as preparing morning briefs and cause lists, tracking deadlines and matters, prioritizing and drafting documents based on daily hearings, and revising drafts according to meeting discussions.
For law firms, this translates to having an AI-native practice that complements human lawyers, allowing them to focus on strategic judgment and final reviews. 8rney’s platform incorporates approval controls for actions that involve sending, filing, or overwriting work, ensuring that lawyers maintain control over the final product.
Practicing lawyers can benefit significantly from 8rney’s research capabilities, which seamlessly integrate with subsequent legal work. The research agent taps into updated legal sources, identifies key judgments, and produces well-cited responses. Importantly, every citation is meticulously verified against source judgments, with the platform transparently displaying its research process to ensure that lawyers are aware of what has been validated. This enables a streamlined workflow from research to drafting and document work within the platform, eliminating the need to switch systems.
8rney’s agents boast functionalities like drafting, redlining, document comparison, structured extraction, and the ability to build internal knowledge bases from prior work. The platform is accessible via a web interface and a Microsoft Word add-in, while its desktop version, 8rney Desk, caters to tasks requiring local document storage.

The platform also extends its capabilities to law students and educational institutions. Its Academic Mode transforms it into a comprehensive legal study workspace, offering tools for legal writing, outlines, exam planning, and research. Meanwhile, the Moot Workspace supports various stages of moot court competitions, including issue framing, authority mapping, memorial drafting, and oral argument practice. 8rney’s educational approach emphasizes the importance of AI as a learning aid rather than a shortcut.
8rney distinguishes itself in the crowded legal AI market by connecting diverse tasks to the underlying legal matter, ensuring context is preserved as work progresses. The platform is designed for individual lawyers, law firms, legal departments, chambers, law schools, and students, providing tailored personal and organizational workspaces.
8rney has already partnered with legal education institutions and law firms, with Sharda University recently announcing a collaboration to provide its School of Law with access to 8rney’s legal research tools, publication support, and a dedicated Moot Court Workspace.

For 8rney, the ultimate goal is to become an integral part of how legal work is organized, moving beyond being a standalone tool to offering a connected system that retains context and supports the legal process from inception to final review.
