A decade of case files, answerable in seconds.
A law firm's institutional knowledge lived in shared drives and senior partners' heads. We made it searchable — with the citations that make lawyers actually trust the answer.
The problem
"Have we argued something like this before?" could take an associate a full afternoon to answer — digging through folder trees, asking around, re-reading old briefs. The knowledge existed; finding it was the job nobody billed for.
What we built
Retrieval over ten years of briefs, memos, and filings. Ask a question in plain language, get an answer with the exact passages it came from — clickable, in context. If the system isn't sure, it says so instead of improvising. For lawyers, that honesty was the whole ballgame.
Confidentiality shaped every decision: the deployment is VPC-locked in the firm's own cloud, with matter-level access controls mirrored from their document management system. Nothing leaves their perimeter.
The outcome
Associates get grounded answers in seconds instead of afternoons. Partners spot precedent they'd forgotten the firm had. And because every answer shows its sources, adoption didn't need a mandate — it spread on its own.

Buried knowledge
of your own?
If your team's answers live in old documents nobody can find, retrieval is the highest-ROI AI project there is. We'll scope it honestly.
