Founding Firm Pilot — Private Beta

Private AI for firms that need control, not another cloud chatbot.

River AI runs on an appliance in your firm's office. Every draft, answer, and conflict check is staged for your review before anything important moves forward — nothing trains a model, nothing leaves the building. Founding Firms also get our River Sentry security suite on the same appliance, closing gaps you're already carrying.

What the pilot actually gives you

Six things that are true about River AI from day one — not a roadmap.

Onboarding

White-glove deployment.

We install the appliance, configure permissions, load the first matters, validate backups, and train your team.

Access

Founding Firm Pilot.

A limited early-access program for selected firms that want private AI running on real matters.

Oversight

AI prepares. The lawyer approves.

Drafts, answers, conflict checks, and workflow suggestions are staged for review before anything important moves forward.

Readiness

Ready on real work, not sample data.

We help set up your first workflows using selected matters, documents, users, and firm rules.

Security

It closes security gaps, not just adds AI.

Founding Firms get River Sentry, our security suite, running on the same appliance at no extra cost. We test that your backups actually restore, send your staff safe practice phishing emails so you learn who clicks before a real attacker does, check that logins have a second step and that former employees no longer have access, watch what is connected to your office network, and stop outsiders from sending email that looks like it came from your firm. You get a plain-English report you can hand your malpractice carrier — handled in the same visit that brings AI into the practice, by a team whose actual business is cybersecurity.

Privacy

Private by design. Firm-controlled by default.

Your documents, prompts, answers, models, and audit records stay on the appliance.
