Robin AI

Robin AI is a London-headquartered legal intelligence platform founded in 2019 by former Clifford Chance disputes lawyer Richard Robinson and machine learning researcher James Clough. The platform automates contract review, drafting, search, obligation tracking, and structured extraction for enterprise legal teams via a Microsoft Word add-in, a web workspace, and a public REST API. Robin AI shipped on Anthropic's Claude models (Claude 3 entered the stack in March 2024) and processed 500k+ documents for customers including KPMG, PwC, Pfizer, GE, UBS, and PepsiCo, advertising 80% faster contract review and 3-second clause search. The company's public-facing Robin Legal Intelligence Platform API (openapi 3.1.0, version 0.2.0-dev, base URL https://api.robinai.com, X-API-Key auth) exposes Documents, Templates, Tables, Properties, and Groups — the Tables API is the flagship extraction surface that turns unstructured legal text into clean structured data tables for CLMs, CRMs, ERPs, BI dashboards, and risk engines. NOTE Robin AI collapsed in late 2025 after failing to close a $50M funding round; the managed services arm was acquired by Scissero in December 2025 and the engineering team was acqui-hired by Microsoft in January 2026 to strengthen Word's legal AI capabilities. This profile documents the API surface as it was published at robinai.com/robin-api.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Robin AI the way a machine reads it — 52 machine-readable artifacts across 5 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Robin AI scores 59.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Robin AI

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Robin AI. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 5

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Robin AI Documents API

Upload and manage legal documents

Robin AI Groups API

Organizational containers for documents and tables

Robin AI Properties API

Typed custom property definitions for documents

Robin AI Tables API

Bulk structured extraction from contract portfolios

Robin AI Templates API

Reusable prompt sets that drive Table extraction

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 3

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
