About Clausehound

Clausehound is a software development company located in downtown London on King St. It provides a patented legal knowledge engine designed for in-house counsel, legal teams, and AI agents. The platform serves as a structured, versioned, and cited data source for statutes, regulations, and contracts, allowing users to manage legal documents with a system the company describes as "git for the law. The platform offers several ways to interact with legal data, including a dedicated app for lawyers, GraphQL for code integration, and MCP for AI agents. Users can search documents, compare clauses, identify missing information, and execute playbooks of prompts. The service features two primary review modes: Guided review, which allows users to work through prompts one at a time and approve changes manually, and Autonomous analysis, which runs prompts against entire portfolios to generate reports. The system also provides specific tools such as Diligence Monster for due diligence, DealPrep for deal knowledge, and Policysaurus for policy research. Clausehound differentiates itself by running on the user's own infrastructure rather than a shared cloud, ensuring that data remains where it lives. The company emphasizes that its technology is not a simple wrapper for existing AI models, but a layer that sits on top of original documents to provide change control. Since its patenting in 2016, the company has worked with clients like the tech-focused law firm Cobalt to build features specifically for high-accuracy legal work.
