Microsoft Word add-in
Full Word compatibility (Mac & Windows). Tracked changes, comments, version history — Optimaite adds to Word, doesn't replace it.
Module · Drafting · Module
From facts to briefin 90 seconds — with track changes.
Optimaite Law doesn't draft in a chat window — it drafts directly inside your Word document or Optimaite Editor. With case content, BGH case law and your clause library in context. Every AI change appears as a tracked change — you accept, reject, comment.
AI drafts inside the document, with a BGH source behind every argument — your pen stays in your hand.

The status quo
Today this costs time. Not anymore with Optimaite.
Today, without Optimaite
Copy-paste from three tools
Facts from the case file, case law from juris/beck-online, template from the Word folder. Every brief starts with 20 minutes of copy-pasting.
ChatGPT hallucinates judgments
Generic chatbots invent docket numbers or cite false guiding principles. In a brief, that's a liability trap — and embarrassing in front of the senate.
No track changes in chat
If the AI replies in chat, you must paste the suggestion into the document by hand. Iterations with client and senior partner become Sisyphean.
With Optimaite Law
AI collects from the case file: parties, caption, procedural posture, required exhibits, prior briefs and all rulings to date.
AI queries the connected case-law database (BGH, BVerfG, regional courts, RIS, juris connector optional) for matching guiding principles — full-text linked, never hallucinated.
→ BGH, judgment of 14 May 2024 — VI ZR 312/23, guiding principle 2
AI structures the brief along your firm template: caption, motions, reasoning under A. I., A. II., B. — tailored to the brief type (brief-in-support of appeal, defense, statement).
Built in, not bolted on
Four things that define this module.
02 · Feature
Optimaite Editor (native)
If you want out of Word: a native editor with layout fidelity, clause library, automatic table-of-contents and PDF/A export.
03 · Feature
BGH/BVerfG/regional court research
Direct integration with public case-law databases plus optional juris and beck-online connectors. Full-text links instead of invented docket numbers.
04 · Feature
Per-firm clause library
Your battle-tested phrases — settlement offers, litigation conduct declarations, standard motions — are used by the AI as preferred templates.
Multilingual briefs
ECJ proceedings in English, Vienna arbitration in German + English in parallel — Optimaite keeps translations in sync.
Final review with coherence check
Before dispatch: does the brief contain all motions? Are all factual claims subsumed? Is the deadline observed? Are exhibits referenced?
AI in the background
Six steps from facts to a signature-ready brief
The AI brings the case file, case law and clause library into the brief — not into a chat. You stay in Word or in the Optimaite Editor.
01
AI StepAI collects from the case file: parties, caption, procedural posture, required exhibits, prior briefs and all rulings to date.
Your call: You see a 200-word case brief — everything the AI will use — and add or remove items.
02
AI StepAI queries the connected case-law database (BGH, BVerfG, regional courts, RIS, juris connector optional) for matching guiding principles — full-text linked, never hallucinated.
→ BGH, judgment of 14 May 2024 — VI ZR 312/23, guiding principle 2
Your call: Every hit comes with docket number, date, guiding principle and deep link. You choose which to include.
03
AI StepAI structures the brief along your firm template: caption, motions, reasoning under A. I., A. II., B. — tailored to the brief type (brief-in-support of appeal, defense, statement).
Your call: The structure appears as an outline; you can reorder it or explicitly hide sections.
04
AI StepAI drafts directly inside Word or the Optimaite Editor — as tracked changes. Every paragraph with a source: case file, BGH ruling, firm clause.
Your call: You accept, reject or comment as with a junior associate. Sources are one hover-hint away.
05
AI StepAI runs a coherence check: any motion missing? Are facts complete? Are all argued points subsumed? Is the deadline met?
Your call: The final check is a dense 8-15 item report — typically it surfaces two or three meaningful gaps.
06
AI StepAI files the signature-ready brief in the case folder, generates a PDF/A for beA and attaches exhibits automatically.
Your call: You sign with a qualified signature and dispatch via the beA module — AI logs dispatch and deadline fulfilment.
Lawyer in control. The AI is a junior associate, not a senior. Every action remains reviewable and traceable to sources. Your matters are never used to train AI models.

FAQ
Frequently asked
No. The research engine queries real BGH/BVerfG/regional-court databases and returns full-text links. If no matching ruling exists, the AI says so — it doesn't invent one. Sources are mandatory on every cited argument.
Yes. Upload your clause library (Word, OpenDocument or Markdown) once — the AI uses it preferentially from the next brief onwards. Configurable per practice area, per client or per lawyer.
Yes. AI processing takes place within the agreed operating and privacy model. On-premise variants are available; a §43e BRAO-compliant DPA is included.
A defense brief of medium complexity (8-12 pages) takes 25-45 minutes in practice — from case context to signature-ready document. The same brief without AI: 2-4 hours.
