LawgiSkill, an alternative to Doctrine, Dalloz, GenIA-L or Jura?
LawgiSkill is a platform of legal AI skills and an MCP connector that turns your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor) into a specialised legal expert, connected in real time to 24 official sources. Unlike traditional legal research platforms, LawgiSkill does not replace your working tool: it equips the AI assistant you already use.
This page compares LawgiSkill with the main solutions on the market. Descriptions of other platforms are factual and indicative; they remain established tools and can coexist with LawgiSkill within a firm.

Belgian market solutions
The Belgian market features several legal research and legal AI solutions. The descriptions below are taken from each publisher's public materials.
| Solution | Publisher | Model | Sources | LLM client integration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LawgiSkill | OSA SRL (Belgium) | AI skills + MCP connector | 24 official public databases, real time | Yes — any MCP client |
| GenIA-L | Larcier-Intersentia (Lefebvre Sarrut group) | Generative AI built into Strada lex | Strada lex editorial content: legislation, case law, doctrine | No |

Most of these platforms rely on high-quality proprietary editorial content (doctrine, commentary, translations). LawgiSkill takes a different approach: no editorial content, but direct access for your AI assistant to official public sources, with traceable citations. Other Belgian legaltechs address adjacent needs — contract drafting (ClauseBase), knowledge management and legal operations (Knowlex, Knowliah) — and are not direct competitors in sourced legal research.
What sets LawgiSkill apart
You keep your AI assistant
LawgiSkill plugs into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor via the open MCP protocol. No tool switch, no vendor lock-in.
Official public sources
EUR-Lex, Belgian Official Gazette, Légifrance, DPA, CNIL, CBE, INPI, EUIPO, etc. Answers verified against official sources in real time, with traceable citations.
Deterministic calculations
Late-payment interest, severance pay, bodily-injury damages — computed under the applicable legal method, across countries.
Seven jurisdictions
Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland.
Complementary, not a replacement
An editorial platform such as Doctrine, Dalloz, LexisNexis, GenIA-L or Jura provides doctrine, commentary and a dedicated search interface. LawgiSkill provides automated legal reasoning and real-time access to official sources from within your AI assistant. The two approaches meet different needs and can be used together.
