The Descrybe Legal Engine plugin gives ChatGPT users access to structured, verifiable U.S. primary law and legal intelligence built specifically for AI.

 

BOSTON, Sept. 17, 2026 — Descrybe today announced that the Descrybe Legal Engine plugin is bringing specialized legal research directly into ChatGPT.

The launch comes as AI assistants are becoming a central environment for professional work, including legal research, analysis, drafting, and review. As that shift accelerates, connecting AI systems to authoritative domain information becomes critical. Descrybe was built for this moment. 

“AI is changing the way legal work gets done, and one of the most exciting parts of that shift is how much more accessible sophisticated legal research can become,” said Kara Peterson, co-founder and CEO of Descrybe. “Bringing deep legal intelligence directly into an environment like ChatGPT puts powerful research capabilities within reach of many more people and organizations through a tool they already know how to use. That can fundamentally change who can benefit from sophisticated legal research technology.”

The Descrybe Legal Engine plugin helps ChatGPT identify relevant authority, assess how cases and laws relate to one another, and work from verifiable primary sources. Its technology connects U.S. primary law with citation relationships, subsequent treatment, legal issues, jurisdictional context, relevance signals, and source material to help determine which authorities matter and how they fit together, then returns focused legal information structured specifically for AI assistants to use efficiently.

Descrybe itself was built from the beginning using OpenAI technology. OpenAI’s models have helped the company classify, structure, summarize, and analyze legal materials at scale.

“Frontier models made it possible for a small team like ours to build something extraordinarily ambitious,” said Richard DiBona, co-founder and CTO of Descrybe. “We’ve used OpenAI’s technology to transform a vast body of legal material into legal intelligence that AI can work with effectively. Bringing Descrybe into ChatGPT with this plugin closes that loop in a really powerful way.”

The launch reflects Descrybe’s broader vision of making sophisticated legal research available wherever people and AI systems work. Descrybe can be used through its own platform, across supported AI environments, and inside custom products and workflows through the Descrybe Open Connector and developer tools.

One Descrybe Legal Engine subscription provides access across supported assistants and apps for $25 per user per month. The full Descrybe Platform is available for $50 per user per monthand includes Legal Engine access along with Descrybe’s complete research workspace and advanced legal research and review capabilities.
