Robin AI was an AI-powered contract review platform that wound down in late 2025. Learn its history, features, pricing, and what happened to the company.
Robin AI was an AI-powered contract review and negotiation platform founded in 2019 by Richard Robinson, a former Clifford Chance disputes lawyer, and James Clough, a machine learning researcher, and headquartered in London, England. The platform combined proprietary legal AI with a human-in-the-loop team of in-house lawyers to help corporate legal and procurement teams review, redline, and negotiate contracts more efficiently, and at its peak served roughly 13 Fortune 500 companies with about $10 million in annual recurring revenue.
In late 2025, however, the company's losses outpaced revenue growth and a planned $50 million funding round fell through in October 2025, leading to layoffs of roughly a third of staff and a formal winding-up process. As a result, Robin AI no longer exists as an independent, purchasable product as of 2026.
Robin AI's assets were split and sold in two separate transactions. In December 2025, its managed services arm, the human-in-the-loop contract review business employing around 75 staff, was acquired by the AI-forward law firm Scissero. In January 2026, Microsoft separately acqui-hired Robin AI's technology and engineering team to strengthen legal AI capabilities within Microsoft Word and its broader productivity suite.
As a result, businesses that previously used or were evaluating Robin AI as a standalone SaaS platform should look to Scissero for managed contract review services, or monitor how Robin AI's underlying technology may resurface inside Microsoft's products, rather than expecting to purchase or renew a 'Robin AI' subscription directly.
Robin AI historically used a freemium model with a limited free tier, paid subscription plans, and custom enterprise pricing that added API access, advanced integrations, single sign-on, and service-level agreements, but the company never published detailed self-serve pricing, and exact figures are not publicly available.
Because the company wound down as an independent business in late 2025 and early 2026, there is no current, purchasable pricing for Robin AI as a standalone product.
No. Robin AI wound down as an independent business in late 2025 and early 2026. Its managed services team was acquired by the law firm Scissero in December 2025, and its technology and engineering team was acqui-hired by Microsoft in January 2026.
