Curia is a web-based AI legal research workspace for Canadian lawyers, paralegals, law clerks, and legal teams. It searches case law across nine Canadian provinces and federal authorities, but does not currently support Quebec or the territories. Users can keep documents, research, timeline events, drafts, and tasks together within a matter. Curia generates first-pass factums, memos, and letters with linked sources, with Word and PDF export. Uploaded documents can provide matter context; the system extracts issues, adds dates to timelines, and flags contradictions for review. Its citation checker checks citation formatting and matching decision metadata, but does not assess pinpoint accuracy, proposition support, good-law status, or research completeness. The free plan includes five credits and requires no credit card. Paid plans start with Starter at 39.00 CAD per month, billed in CAD and cancellable anytime. Actions consume credits: document chat answers cost 0.25 credits, most research and drafting actions cost one credit, matter analysis costs three, and settlement proposals cost five. Curia says account data and uploaded documents are stored on secure servers hosted in Canada.
