Sana

Introduction

Sana is an enterprise AI knowledge and agent platform that unifies an organization’s data — documents, Slack, Google Drive, email, and internal systems — into searchable, actionable AI agents. In November 2025, Workday acquired Sana Labs for approximately $1.1 billion, and in March 2026 relaunched the product as "Sana Enterprise," positioned as the AI platform for enterprise-wide knowledge, agents, and automation across Workday and beyond. Sana offers a dedicated "Sana for Law Firms" solution that lets legal teams build no-code AI agents grounded in firm knowledge for research, contract review, drafting, and compliance, alongside its broader enterprise knowledge and corporate-learning platform.

Legal Research

Through Sana Agents, legal teams can build research agents that fetch relevant statutes, case law, and regulations, distill rulings into briefs, and highlight key holdings, with administrators controlling which knowledge sources (internal documents, public legal databases, the web) each agent may access. Neural Search lets users query firm knowledge in natural language across 100+ connectors, with source verification and configurable trust thresholds, and support for 50+ languages enables cross-jurisdictional use.

Contract Analysis

Sana Agents can ingest contracts (PDF, Word, structured formats) and extract key clauses, flag unusual terms or liabilities, compare versions against playbooks, and cross-reference terms with external regulatory databases via connectors. Risk sensitivity and rule thresholds are configurable without code, and the platform is single-tenant, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, and GDPR-compliant with zero data retention and granular audit logs — relevant for firms with strict data-governance requirements.

Document Drafting

Drafting agents combine firm templates, internal knowledge, and prompt logic to generate contracts, memos, and briefs consistent with a firm’s own style and precedent, with interactive refinement and export to Word/PDF. Because agents are grounded in the organization’s own knowledge graph rather than general web knowledge, output tends to reflect institutional conventions more closely than generic AI drafting tools.

Legal Translation

Sana’s translation strength is rooted in its corporate-learning heritage: it preserves formatting and interactive elements (quizzes, multimedia) when translating training and compliance content across languages. This makes it well suited to multilingual legal/compliance training material, but it is not a dedicated legal-document translation tool for contracts or filings.

Predictive Analytics

Legal agents built on Sana can surface patterns from historical contract and matter data — negotiation timelines, approval bottlenecks, clause frequency — and support "what-if" queries (for example, modeling the effect of changed liability caps), visualized through dashboards. This is closer to descriptive/scenario analytics grounded in a firm’s own data than independently validated outcome-prediction modeling.

Pricing

Sana uses enterprise-only, quote-based pricing, with independent estimates citing roughly $50,000–$100,000 per year depending on seat count and features, and per-seat indicative pricing around $13/user/month at a 300-user minimum for some plans. As part of Workday, pricing and packaging are likely to keep evolving through 2026 as the products are integrated.

User Reviews and Ratings

Sana Learn, the company’s learning-platform product, is very highly rated on G2, with the large majority of reviewers giving 5 out of 5 stars and praising its interface, AI-assisted content creation, and support. Its enterprise agent/knowledge platform (the part most relevant to legal use) has less independent review volume specific to legal workflows, so firms should pilot the legal agent features directly rather than relying solely on the learning-platform ratings as a proxy.

Verdict

Sana is a strong option for legal departments that want a no-code, highly governed way to build custom AI agents over their own knowledge base, and Workday’s $1.1B acquisition adds significant financial backing and enterprise-system integration (HCM/FIN, Drive, SharePoint, Jira, Gmail). It is not a purpose-built legal research or contract tool out of the box the way Harvey or CoCounsel are — its value depends heavily on how well a firm configures and grounds its own agents, and legal-specific independent reviews remain limited.
