Platus

Tool Introduction

Platus is a legal workflow automation platform operated by Openlaw Technologies Inc., designed for legal teams, law firms, as well as companies in the real estate and compliance sectors. It integrates document creation, contract review, signing, notarization, and approval processes into web-based workflows or legal workflows.

Main functions

Contract generation and automatic filling

Users can upload templates and identify variables, then use existing personnel or transaction data to fill in the agreements in bulk. Common scenarios include confidentiality agreements, power of attorney, and investment documents; however, the final text still needs to be reviewed by professionals.

• Generate contracts and forms with consistent structure from templates.
• Fill duplicate fields in bulk to reduce errors from manual copying.
• A legal review step can be added before sending the signature.

Review and legal representation

The proxy library includes functions such as contract analysis, risk prediction, compliance checks, sensitive information masking, data extraction, and document translation. The results provided by the proxy are automated assistance only and cannot replace the judgment of lawyers in specific judicial jurisdictions.

• Identify potential risks, responsibilities, and unusual clauses in the contract.
• Extract personal information and structured fields from the document.
• Hide sensitive content or translate the document according to the rules, while trying to preserve the format as much as possible.

Signing and online notarization

Platus enables the integration of document creation, signature collection, and notarization into a seamless process, making it suitable for teams that handle documents on a frequent basis. The scope of notarization services, as well as identity verification and legal validity, depend on the user’s location and the specific type of document in question.

• Initiate the signing process with the relevant parties and keep track of it.
• Check whether the document meets the necessary requirements before notarization.
• Initiate large-scale notarization tasks through a separate link or API.

Configurable legal workflows

Teams can combine predefined tools, approval processes, and data handling steps to create a Legal Super App tailored to their internal workflows. Non-technical users can operate this app via web links, while technical teams can integrate certain functions into existing systems.

Usage tutorial

1. Apply for a trial or schedule a product demonstration, and specify the requirements related to contracts, notarization, or compliance procedures.
2. Select a preset proxy or create a workflow, then upload the template and the documents to be processed.
3. Configure variables, data fields, risk inspection rules, signers, and manual approval steps.
4. First, run it with a non-sensitive test file to verify the extraction results, terms, permissions, and notifications.
5. A final review is carried out by lawyers, legal officers, or qualified notaries, after which it is sent for signing or officially archived.

Comparison of usage methods

Which users are it suitable for

• Corporate legal teams that need to prepare, review, and send standard contracts in bulk.
• Law firms that need to handle a large volume of client documents, sensitive information, and approval processes.
• Real estate companies that require signing, notarization, identity verification, and data collection processes.
• The operations team responsible for the business system would like to integrate document extraction, data masking, and compliance checks into it.

Price and trial version

The official website offers free trial applications and product demonstrations, but it does not disclose the standard monthly fee, the number of licenses available, the amount of documentation provided, or the price per API call. Companies need to contact the authorities to obtain a quote, taking into account factors such as workflow requirements, the number of users, the volume of data processed, and integration needs.

Product advantages

• It covers the entire document workflow, from creation and review to signing and notarization.
• Pre-set proxies coexist with configurable workflows, enabling adaptation to various legal operations tasks.
• It also offers code-free web operations as well as API integration options.
• It supports manual approval steps, allowing for professional review to be maintained even after automation.

Usage restrictions and precautions

• Platus is not a law firm; the automated templates, risk warnings, and FAQs do not constitute legal advice.
• Legal and notarization requirements vary by country, state, and type of document; it is advisable to consult a licensed lawyer or notary before using such documents officially.
• AI may miss clauses, misjudge risks, or make errors in extraction; therefore, a final review of each document is essential.
• Contracts, identification documents, and transaction data are highly sensitive; therefore, access rights for members, external links, and API credentials should be restricted.
• Engaging external lawyers or notaries constitutes an independent service relationship; the quality of such services and their costs must be determined separately.

APIs, SDKs, and open-source status

The official website does provide APIs, particularly for large-scale notarization and enterprise integration, but the public pages do not list complete interface documentation, the SDK languages available, the quota for API calls, or their prices. The source code of the product as well as any open-source licenses are not made available publicly; therefore, configurable proxies or APIs cannot be considered open-source projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Platus replace a lawyer in reviewing contracts?

No, the platform’s terms clearly state that AI-generated content does not constitute legal advice, nor does it guarantee the legality or enforceability of such documents. High-risk or formal documents should be reviewed by licensed professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.

Is Platus free?

A free trial can be requested through the official website, but no long-term free plans or specific usage limits are available. For continuous use and enterprise integration, a quote must be obtained by requesting information.

Can all documents be notarized online?

It cannot be generalized; the file type, the location of the signatories, and local regulations all affect the feasibility of remote notarization. It is necessary to have official authorities and qualified notaries verify the relevant requirements before starting the process.
