The problem

What legal teams in Germany should check in legal AI.

Legal teams in Germany want the productivity gains everyone talks about, and they need clear answers before a pilot starts.

Answers without sources

A fluent paragraph is useless if nobody can check where it came from. Legal work needs the passage, the quote, the decision and the paragraph number.

Unclear data flows

Where are the documents stored, which model provider sees them, is anything used for training? Works councils and data protection officers ask before the first pilot starts.

Generic rules instead of yours

Generic tools do not know your fallback positions, your preferred governing law or your internal approval rules.

One more isolated tool

Research in one place, contract review in another, the chatbot somewhere else. Knowledge and documentation end up scattered again.

Your outcome

One legal AI workspace your data protection officer can assess.

The aim is legal AI that your team trusts because every answer can be traced and every data flow can be explained.

Your outcome

Contracts are pre-reviewed against your rules, questions are answered with quotes, and research leads to citable decisions, all within one EU-hosted platform.

Why it works

Answers are grounded in your documents or in the optional case-law database. Playbooks are confirmed by your legal team and can be tested with golden-set tests.

How fast

A 30-minute demo shows Treasure on your own documents. The 10-day Proof Sprint takes two contract types live with risk rating, redlines and audit trail.

How little effort

No local installation. The platform runs as SaaS from Frankfurt, supports Microsoft Entra ID SSO and works in English and German from day one.

Features

What legal AI in Treasure Contracts covers

All capabilities listed here are live in the product today.

Playbook-based contract review

Criteria, targets, no-gos and party perspective define how contracts are reviewed. Each criterion gets a traffic light and a compliant wording suggestion.

Chat with verbatim, validated quotes

Ask questions across several selected documents. Answers show the passages and verbatim quotes they rely on, checked against the source, and can be transferred into a Word template.

Summaries of long documents

Long contracts and files are summarised in English or German, versioned and with your own prompt. Highlights on the document steer what is regenerated.

German and EU case-law database

EU and German federal law plus decisions from sources including NeuRIS, searchable semantically and in full text. Answers are citable down to ECLI and paragraph number, with a citation network. Optional module, €290/month, net.

Model choice in EU regions

Choose AWS Bedrock EU, Google Vertex EU or Azure OpenAI per tenant and per work step. Token and cost tracking is recorded for every AI call.

MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude

Teams who already work in ChatGPT or Claude can use Treasure from there via OAuth2, with tools for documents, matters and clauses. AI tool integration, €50/month, included from Professional.

Comparison

Legal AI from Germany compared with a general AI assistant

Both use large language models. The difference lies in grounding, control and data location.

Criterion	General AI assistant	Treasure Contracts
Basis of answers	Model knowledge and prompt	Your documents, your playbook, German and EU case law
Citations	Depends on prompt and tool; no source validation like in Treasure	Verbatim quotes validated against the source; ECLI and paragraph number
Rules	No fixed rule set confirmed by legal	Playbook confirmed by your legal team
Hosting and models	Depends on provider and plan	AWS Frankfurt; Bedrock EU, Vertex EU or Azure OpenAI
Documentation	Chat history; no per-contract audit trail like in Treasure	Audit trail with CSV export

General orientation, varies by provider. Data handling of general AI assistants depends on the provider, plan and settings.

In detail

Legal AI Germany: what built and hosted here actually means

Hosting and model choice are architecture decisions

Saying a tool is GDPR-friendly is easy. The real questions are where documents are stored, where the model runs and who decides. Treasure Contracts stores data on AWS in Frankfurt and processes AI in EU regions through AWS Bedrock EU, Google Vertex EU or Azure OpenAI. The model can be chosen per tenant and per work step, so a company with an existing Azure commitment can stay there, while another prefers Bedrock. Customer data is not used for training, and each AI call is tracked for tokens and cost.

Citations are what make legal AI usable

Lawyers do not accept answers they cannot verify, and they are right. In the Treasure chat, every answer points to the passages it is based on and shows verbatim quotes that are validated against the source document. In the optional case-law database, answers can be cited down to ECLI and paragraph number, and a citation network shows how decisions relate. That shifts the reviewer's job from rewriting an AI draft to checking a few referenced passages.

German federal and EU law, not a generic corpus

For teams in Germany, the relevant sources are German federal statutes, EU law and decisions of German federal and European courts. The optional Treasure case-law database (€290/month, net) covers EU and German federal law and, according to the pricing page, over 500,000 decisions and judgments, drawing on sources including the open federal data of NeuRIS. Search combines semantic and full-text methods, so both precise terms and paraphrased questions find results.

Your rules, applied consistently

Research is only one part of legal work. Much of the daily load is reviewing contracts that follow familiar patterns. Treasure turns your legal team's standards into playbooks with criteria, targets, no-gos and party perspective, and reviews every contract against them with a traffic light per criterion. Reviewers give feedback and add risks, keeping a human in the loop. The output is a documented first assessment, not legal advice, and the decision stays with your lawyers.

Your first step

Prove it first. Decide second.

You don't have to take our word for it. You see Treasure on your own contracts — first in a free 30-minute session, then in a 10-day Proof Sprint with measurable results.

For legal AI in Germany, that means: we clarify hosting and model choice with your data protection officer, turn two contract types into playbooks and show on real documents how review, chat with quotes and case-law search fit together.

FAQ

Is Treasure Contracts legal AI developed in Germany?

Yes. Treasure Contracts is developed by boutiq ai GmbH, founded in January 2025 near Munich by former Freshfields lawyers and engineers. The platform is hosted on AWS in Frankfurt, AI processing runs in EU regions, and interface and AI content are available in English and German.

Is the legal AI GDPR-compliant and secure?

Data is stored on AWS in Frankfurt, AI runs in EU regions and customer data is not used for training. Tenants are separated at database schema level, and the platform offers two-factor authentication, Microsoft Entra ID SSO, roles and permissions and an audit trail with CSV export. Information security is ISO 27001 certified. Your own GDPR assessment remains your responsibility.

Which case law does the database cover?

The case-law database is an optional module at €290 per month, net. It covers EU and German federal law and, according to the pricing page, over 500,000 decisions and judgments, with sources including NeuRIS, the open federal data service. Search is hybrid, semantic and full text, and answers are citable down to ECLI and paragraph number.

Why not use ChatGPT or Claude directly?

General assistants answer from model knowledge and your prompt, without a fixed playbook confirmed by legal and without Treasure's source validation and case-law database. Treasure grounds answers in your documents and the database and records reviews in the audit trail. If your team prefers working in ChatGPT or Claude, the Treasure MCP server (AI tool integration, €50/month, included from Professional) makes Treasure available there.

Does legal AI replace our lawyers?

No. Treasure provides documented first reviews, answers with citations and research results. Reviewers give feedback, add risks and approve results; approval steps can enforce the four-eyes principle. Treasure does not provide legal advice, and responsibility for legal decisions stays with your team.

What does it cost?

Starter is €590, Professional €1,790 and Business €3,590 per month, each billed annually and net; Enterprise is on request. The case-law database is optional at €290 per month; AI tool integration via MCP (€50/month) is included from Professional. The 10-day Proof Sprint costs €4,900 and is fully credited if you book within 30 days. You have a 4-week right of withdrawal with a full refund.
