Ordalie is a French legal assistant. It is a specialist tool: you ask a legal question in plain language, it searches several million official texts (codes, statutes, court decisions, official tax guidance, the French data protection authority, CNIL) and answers with a link to each source. It also analyzes your contracts and helps you draft. You can try it on your own, for free, without a card.
Ordalie has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Ordalie, €0 per user per month. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.
OrdalieThe French legal assistant that cites its sourcesWho it’s for: lawyers, notaries, and in-house counsel, but also an HR manager, a buyer, or a small business owner who wants to check a rule before calling their legal adviser.
You describe the situation, and Ordalie finds the texts and decisions that apply and writes an answer. Each point links to its source: article number, court, date of the decision, link to the official text. The database is updated every day.
You import a contract or supporting documents and ask your questions about them: summarize, spot risky clauses, compare two versions, build a timeline. Ordalie reads PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and text files.
Before the analysis, Ordalie can mask the information that identifies people and companies: names, addresses, amounts, dates. You work on the substance of the document without exposing the parties.
