How Bonfire works with LexisNexis
LexisNexis does not expose a public REST API we can drive directly. Instead Bonfire stores your LexisNexis credentials and context locally on your machine and surfaces them to your chosen AI model, so an agent can reason over your Legal Data Analytics data and draft, summarize, and prepare work — while your data stays on your own hardware.

LexisNexis — questions
Can Bonfire automate LexisNexis?
Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your LexisNexis credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the LexisNexis API to run the actions you ask for in chat.
Does my LexisNexis data go to the cloud?
Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.
Which AI models can I use?
Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
