Strengths

Publishes how its research works: question clarification, retrieval by source family, authority-first ordering, an evidence pack, and writing only over that evidence.
Says when the available sources are not enough, instead of filling the gap.
The only Cyprus tool we found on web, iOS and Android plus an MCP connector for ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot.
Open to everyone, not only firms, with published prices.
Deep Dive: an optional second research pass for complex matters.

Slower than instant-answer tools: a full research run takes minutes, not seconds.
Deep Dive and file uploads need the Professional plan.
The free tier is small after the two-week trial (3 AI credits a month).
Voice mode and a one-step "research + Deep Dive" run are in development and not yet available.
No shared team workspace, Word add-in or daily digest of new decisions.

Cyprus source coverage	5/5	Cyprus case law and legislation, ECHR, EU sources and a labelled UK fallback.
Source grounding	5/5	Published evidence-first method; answers are written over a fixed evidence pack with citations and stated limits.
Independence	5/5	Owned by a software company, not a law firm.
Open access	4/5	Open to anyone with a free tier, but the free allowance after the trial is small.
Platforms & integrations	5/5	Web, iOS, Android, MCP connector and API (Enterprise).
Transparency	5/5	Public prices and a public description of the research pipeline.
Speed	2/5	Full research takes minutes because of the checks it runs.

separate operations in a typical research run (10 AI reasoning steps + about 80 search lookups)

operations in a heavy run (90th percentile); up to about 360 seen

candidate judgments individually assessed against each legal issue

~5.5 min

for a full research run; a quick first answer arrives in the chat sooner

Understand the conversation
Three quick checks: what was said before, what you are asking for, and what kind of work it needs.
3 steps
Rewrite into legal search questions
Your question becomes up to five focused legal queries, with a check that the meaning has not drifted from what you asked.
1-2 steps
Search Cyprus sources in parallel
Judgment summaries, judgment passages and full-text search run side by side over 90,000+ Cyprus decisions, plus the legislation library. EU, ECHR and procedural material is added when relevant.
~80 lookups
Judge each case for applicability
Up to 40 candidate judgments are each assessed against every legal issue in your question. If too few apply, the search is refilled.
40 cases
Find and test the governing law
Candidate statutory provisions (typically about 22) are found and each is tested for fit to your facts and dates.
~22 provisions
Write from the evidence pack only
The answer is written over the selected passages and provisions, each with court, date and reference, citing every point.
1 step
Check every legal claim
A separate check re-reads each statement that cites an authority against that authority. Unsupported statements are removed before you see the answer.
every cited claim
Answer in your language
Greek by default; English or Russian on request.
when needed

Read its own first answer
Deep Dive reviews the first answer and plans what is missing.
Targeted follow-up searches
About eight further focused searches, then a fresh applicability review.
~8 searches
Read whole judgments
Selects up to six judgments and reads them in full, not just extracts.
up to 6 rulings
Deeper analysis, then the claim check again
A second answer is written from the full rulings and goes through the same claim-by-claim check.

Menas publishes how its research works, at the level a lawyer can see and check:

Understands the question first. Works out the legal issue, the area of law and the dates that matter, such as which version of a law applied at the time.
Searches by kind of source, in a fixed order. Cyprus case law and legislation first; ECHR and EU sources when the question needs them; UK case law only when Cyprus material is thin, marked as persuasive, not binding.
Orders by legal authority. Court level and binding force come first; closeness of wording only breaks ties.
Gathers the evidence before writing. Collects the passages it will rely on, each with court, date and a stable reference.
Writes only from that evidence. Every point carries a citation you can open and check.
Says when sources are not enough. States gaps instead of filling them.
Deep Dive for hard matters. An optional second, targeted research pass under the same rules.
Controls you can see. Asks before paid work runs (once); keeps work per case; data export and deletion on request; answers in Greek, English or Russian.
