Zuva's core technology is a contract-analysis engine with a library of more than 1,400 AI fields — predefined provision and data-point extractors — plus around 225 document classification types. Rather than relying on a general-purpose language model, Zuva trained its own models on contracts, and it publishes contract-AI research from a PhD-level team. Three product surfaces expose this: Analyze for point-and-click contract review, an API for teams embedding extraction into their own systems, and Create for building custom AI fields and extractors. Contract Central provides a place to organize and search the analyzed documents.
The company's current commercial emphasis is sell-side M&A. Its Diligence Reviews service pairs the AI with ex-Biglaw M&A counsel to produce pre-diligence reports: identifying which agreements are fully executed and still in force, spotting change-of-control implications, non-competes, exclusivity and MFN clauses, and IP assignment gaps, then turning findings into reports and disclosure-schedule-ready outputs. Most engagements are quoted at roughly $10,000 to $75,000 with a one-to-two week turnaround, which Zuva frames as about 80% less than comparable Biglaw work. A Bidder Question Management product handles the other half of a deal process, importing question lists from Excel and Word, flagging near-duplicate questions across bidders, and surfacing how you answered them elsewhere.
Self-serve users can try Analyze directly, and the platform includes a free tier alongside paid plans and custom enterprise pricing. Zuva cites a benchmarking exercise in which a two-decade M&A general counsel compared its reports against Biglaw work on two completed deals and found the results very similar within the reviewed scope, and it notes that it retained a copy of the underlying Kira AI in the transaction — meaning its reviews use similar technology to what buyers' counsel may use. Security is addressed with SOC 2 Type II certification and background-checked staff, which matters for sensitive deal materials.
