Acquired by BigHand on Aug 04, 2026


Overview

ayora is an AI-powered data enrichment and agentic platform built for law firm matter pricing, budgeting, and profitability management. The platform converts a firm's existing matter, time, and financial records into a structured intelligence layer, then applies that data through agentic applications addressing pricing, matter tracking, and revenue growth.

Key features and functions include:

Pricing Agent
Generates fee proposals by identifying comparable historic matters and adjusting for current staffing, scope, and fee assumptions, allowing pricing teams to test scenarios before sharing proposals with clients.

Precedent Bank
Provides a searchable repository of a firm's past matters, enriched through Ayora's data processing system, allowing users to query matter data conversationally and view matter summaries and details.

Quote Builder
Supports proposal creation using flexible templates and the ability to clone and adapt existing precedent matters.

Matter Tracking and Budget Alerts
Monitors budgets, work in progress, billing, and collections against benchmarks drawn from a firm's own historic matters, and issues predictive alerts on matters at risk of exceeding budget.

Data Enrichment
Applies AI models to validate and classify time-entry narratives, allocate time to phase and task, and generate work-type-specific context tags, addressing inconsistencies in existing time and matter coding.

Data Masking
Anonymizes narrative time-entry data through a proprietary, self-hosted small language model before any data is processed by third-party large language models, so identifying information does not reach external AI providers.

Open API
Provides API access to enriched matter data for use in other firm systems and reporting tools.

Ayora is ISO 27001 UKAS-accredited and states that customer data is not used to train third-party or foundational AI models. Ayora was acquired by BigHand, a legal productivity software provider, on August 4, 2026; the acquisition is intended to integrate Ayora's data enrichment and agentic pricing technology with BigHand Matter Pricing & Budgeting.
