Frequently asked questions
Is Kerna compatible with attorney-client privilege?
Yes. Kerna processes email content in real time without storing it. We retain only anonymous usage counts for billing — no email content, no recipients, no subject lines. Privileged communications remain inside your Gmail.
Can Kerna handle Latin legal terminology and jurisdiction-specific phrasing?
Kerna draws on the underlying language model's training, which includes standard legal vocabulary across major jurisdictions. For highly specialised terms or local statutes, we recommend reviewing each draft — Kerna assists, it does not replace professional judgement.
Does Kerna integrate with case management systems like Clio or PracticePanther?
Kerna runs inside Gmail directly and does not require integration with your case management software. Reference documents and templates can be provided via Kerna's Custom Templates feature, which keeps your firm's standard language consistent across all communications.
How does this differ from generic AI email assistants?
Three things: 45-language coverage with proper formality registers, zero data retention (critical for privileged work), and the ability to tune for legal-specific tones (formal, diplomatic) and intents (decline, negotiate). Most generic tools optimise for sales correspondence — Kerna treats professional correspondence as a first-class use case.
