IURIX is a Vienna-based legal-tech company. We build AI tools that search official Austrian and European legal databases and deliver exclusively source-based, cited answers.
In three steps
From search impulse to substantiated answer.
02
Research in the official corpus
RICI searches the official legal databases in parallel — from federal and state law through case law, legislative materials, Findok and collective agreements to EU legislation, EU case law and ECtHR case law. Queries are anonymised before processing.
03
Source-based answer
You receive a structured answer in which every statement is linked to its original source.
Source binding
Every statement. One source.
RICI does not deliver loose hits but substantiated statements: every sentence carries its sources, every citation leads with a single click to the original source. Where no supporting source exists, the system stays silent.
Example answer · abridged
Claims arising from recurring obligations generally become time-barred after three years; the decisive point is when they fall due.

What sets RICI apart
Four qualities. One standard.
01
Full-text search with semantic understanding
RICI understands legal terms, synonyms and cross-references. Hybrid retrieval combines keyword precision with semantic depth — you ask freely, and RICI also finds what does not match word for word.
Natural language · Semantic search · Keyword precision
02
Substantiated answers — hallucinations largely ruled out
Every statement is tied to a concrete source — section, margin number, case number. Where no supporting source exists, the system stays silent.
Inline citations · Direct link to the original source · No invented sources
03
GDPR-compliant with anonymisation
Queries are anonymised before processing. All models run on EU servers. No training on your queries. A data processing agreement is available.
