Robin AI
Robin AI is a London-headquartered legal intelligence platform founded in 2019 by former Clifford Chance disputes lawyer Richard Robinson and machine learning researcher James Clough. The platform automates contract review, drafting, search, obligation tracking, and structured extraction for enterprise legal teams via a Microsoft Word add-in, a web workspace, and a public REST API. Robin AI shipped on Anthropic's Claude models (Claude 3 entered the stack in March 2024) and processed 500k+ documents for customers including KPMG, PwC, Pfizer, GE, UBS, and PepsiCo, advertising 80% faster contract review and 3-second clause search. The company's public-facing Robin Legal Intelligence Platform API (openapi 3.1.0, version 0.2.0-dev, base URL https://api.robinai.com, X-API-Key auth) exposes Documents, Templates, Tables, Properties, and Groups — the Tables API is the flagship extraction surface that turns unstructured legal text into clean structured data tables for CLMs, CRMs, ERPs, BI dashboards, and risk engines. NOTE Robin AI collapsed in late 2025 after failing to close a $50M funding round; the managed services arm was acquired by Scissero in December 2025 and the engineering team was acqui-hired by Microsoft in January 2026 to strengthen Word's legal AI capabilities. This profile documents the API surface as it was published at robinai.com/robin-api.
