Outlex vs a generic AI assistant
Lexi cites Portuguese and EU sources with a confidence score. A generic assistant does not. See every difference in the table below.
Outlex vs. a generic AI assistant, side by side
| Generic AI Assistant | Outlex (Lexi) | |
|---|---|---|
| Source grounding | General training data, not jurisdiction-specific | ✓ Portuguese + EU legal sources (DRE, EUR-Lex, DGSI) with citations |
| Confidence signal | ✗ States most answers with similar confidence | ✓ Visible confidence score on every answer |
| When the answer is wrong | ✗ Hallucination risk, no escalation path | Low-confidence or high-risk answers can be routed to Human Legal Support with the context preserved |
| Workflow | Chat only — copy-paste output | Contract review, 50+ templates with AI field detection, e-signature, and compliance tracking in one workflow |
| Document signing | ✗ No native e-signature | ✓ Built-in e-signature, up to 8 signers, tamper-evident audit trail |
| Compliance tracking | ✗ None built in | ✓ 19 pre-built compliance playbooks (EN+PT) + guided GDPR Art. 35 DPIA wizard |
| Data handling | Varies by provider and plan | EU-hosted, TLS in transit, GDPR-native |
| Human accountability | ✗ None built in | ✓ Access to Human Legal Support from appropriately qualified Professionals (add-on, companies based in Portugal) |
| Cost | Free or low-cost general-purpose plans | €69.99/mo (Early Stage, eligible startups), €99/mo (Core) or €249/mo (Growth) — with workflow and compliance tracking a general assistant doesn't provide; Human Legal Support is a Portugal-only add-on |
When a generic AI assistant is the better choice
A generic AI assistant is a legitimate tool for plenty of tasks — we're not saying otherwise.
- Quick brainstorming or a first-draft sentence you'll have professionally reviewed anyway.
- General research or writing tasks with no legal consequence.
- Very early-stage exploration where you want a sounding board and won't act on the output without independent review.
- One-off, low-stakes questions where being wrong costs nothing.
