“The ChatGPT just made it up.
It was a mess.”
You've probably seen the headlines.
A New York lawyer filed a court brief full of fake cases. ChatGPT invented them. He was sanctioned.
It happened again in Utah. California. Florida. A South Florida judge sanctioned a lawyer for fake citations in eight separate filings. Over 120 court cases have now been caught with AI-made-up sources. Lawyers fined. Cases dismissed. Referrals to professional conduct boards.
ChatGPT isn't trying to lie. It just doesn't know what it doesn't know. When it can't find a real answer in your documents, it writes a plausible-sounding one. And it uses the exact same confident tone whether it's right or completely wrong.
A legal advocate we work with saw this happen to a Czech lawyer. He used ChatGPT citations in a court filing. The judge asked where they came from.
They didn't exist.
“The ChatGPT just made it up,” she told us. “It was a mess.”
Grella works differently.
Every answer comes with a clickable badge. Press it. The document opens. The text is highlighted. You confirm it in five seconds before you rely on it.
If the answer isn't in your files, Grella says so. It doesn't invent something to fill the gap.
See how citations workSame Task. Very Different Results.
Scenario 1: 10,000 pages. 30 days. One critical sentence.
An M&A consultant we work with used to spend a full week on initial document review, reading employment contracts, CLAs, and shareholder agreements manually, then paying law firms thousands more to check it all.
“If you miss one sentence,” he told us, “the whole case can blow up.”
With Grella, the first pass took six hours. He saved $5,000 per deal doing it in-house. Every finding had a citation. He could show exactly where each risk came from.
Scenario 2: Finding evidence you forgot you had
Searches documents
When it can't find something
Shows you the source
Finds what you missed
A civil rights researcher we work with was preparing for a discrimination hearing. She asked Grella a question about her case files. It surfaced a piece of testimony she'd completely forgotten she had: a parent describing a teacher using racial slurs against a child. With a citation straight to the line in the report.
“I didn't even remember I wrote it in the report,” she told us. “Grella found it and showed me exactly where it was.”
With ChatGPT, she would have had to paste each document in chunks, hope it remembered the earlier ones, and then manually hunt down every claim before trusting it.
Scenario 3: Deposition prep across 12 transcripts
Searches all transcripts at once
Finds contradictions
Remembers what you asked last session
Builds a witness profile
Scenario 4: Your team. One case. Zero confusion.

The Features That Matter
Citations
Every answer is verified.
When Grella gives you an answer, you'll see small clickable badges next to each claim. Press one. The document opens. The text is highlighted. Confirm it in five seconds.
This isn't a feature. It's the foundation. Without it, you're trusting the AI. With it, you're verifying it. That difference is why lawyers get sanctioned or don't.
Projects
Your whole case in one place.
ChatGPT doesn't know what you're working on from one session to the next. Every new chat starts from zero.
Grella organises everything by project. Upload your documents once. Every chat you run stays in that project. Come back six months later — your documents, your chats, your findings are all there. Your whole team can access the same project, with their own logins.
Artifacts
Work product that builds itself.
Ask Grella to create a case chronology. It reads every document and builds one — with citations. Upload new transcripts two weeks later. The chronology updates itself.
The same goes for Motion Drafts, Case Summaries, Witness Profiles, Master Roadmaps, and Todo Lists. Every Artifact links back to source documents. Nothing is made up.
Smart Refresh
New file in. Everything updates.
Upload a new transcript or exhibit to a project. Grella automatically re-scans your existing Artifacts and updates them with the new information.
Your chronology adds the new events. Your roadmap adds the new tasks. You don't have to do it manually.
Knowledge Bases
Reuse what you know.
Store your standard legal definitions, SOPs, and templates in a Knowledge Base. Link it to multiple projects. Every case benefits from what you've already built — without uploading the same files over and over.
What People Say After Switching
“The answers are much better than ChatGPT or Gemini. Definitely 100% better — it opens the exact document and highlights the relevant text instead of giving you a vague summary you have to go verify yourself.”
— Civil rights legal advocate, Central Europe
“I found evidence I forgot I even had. I didn't remember writing it in the report. Grella found it and showed me exactly where it was — with the citation right there.”
— Legal researcher working on civil rights litigation
“It compressed a full week of due diligence down to six hours. We saved $5,000 per deal doing it in-house instead of paying law firms.”
— M&A consultant, boutique due diligence firm
But the real comparison isn't ChatGPT vs. Grella.
It's what you're currently paying for manual document review.
A boutique we work with was paying $5,000 per deal in law firm fees just to have someone read their documents. With Grella, they do it in-house. The subscription paid for itself in the first deal.

When Should You Use ChatGPT Instead?
ChatGPT is best for:
- Looking up case law or general legal research (but always verify what it finds)
- Drafting emails, client letters, or business communications from scratch
- Brainstorming arguments or strategy when you aren't citing anything specific
- General firm administrative or non-legal tasks
Use Grella when you need to:
- Finding facts in your specific case files with verified sources
- Reviewing large document productions fast
- Prepping for depositions across multiple transcripts
- Generating case work product (chronologies, motion drafts, roadmaps)
- Sharing evidence and findings securely with your whole team
Many of our users use both. But when the answer you're giving is going to a judge, Grella is the right tool.
