Comparison
Claude vs Magnar
Where each one's answer comes from, what you get at the end, how your clients' information is handled, and when each is the right tool.
Updated August 2026
Claude writes with judgement. Magnar writes with your country's case law.
Claude is one of the general assistants that writes and reasons best over long documents. Magnar starts somewhere else: your jurisdiction's legislation and case law are built in, it cites every ruling with the original text one click away, and it returns the result in the shape you need — a brief, a reviewed contract, the case timeline.
Below we compare the two across the dimensions that matter when the work goes out with your signature: where the answer comes from, how much material fits in a single analysis, what you get at the end, and what happens to the information you upload. There is also a section on where Claude is more than enough, because it writes very well and that helps every day.
Where Claude and Magnar part ways
Seven dimensions that matter when the document on the table belongs to a client.
One real assignment, two outcomes
Review this indemnity clause and tell me whether it leaves me exposed, under the standard my country's courts apply.
It analyses the clause with judgement, can search the web for sources and propose alternative wording. What stays with you is deciding which case law applies and checking its coverage and currency before you rely on it.
- You define which sources to use
- You check their coverage and currency
It analyses the clause and cross-references local case law: how it has been applied, with each ruling cited and the original text one click away. Then it returns the alternative wording.
- The standard comes with its source
- The corrected clause arrives ready for review
An illustration of the workflow, not a captured set of results.
The sources of Chile, inside the product

- Sentencias de tribunales civiles, penales y laborales
- Normativa chilena vigente

When Claude is enough
Claude is excellent at several things. Worth saying which.
A difficult email, a summary of a long meeting, or a technical topic explained in plain language.
Structuring an argument, checking the logic of your own brief, or preparing questions for a meeting.
Internal material, decks, translations and drafts that do not need verifiable case law.
Magnar takes over when the deliverable has to rest on traceable case law, the file runs to thousands of pages, or you need a structured legal workflow.
