AI-driven legal technology company DISCO has launched the Cecilia AI platform to offer legal professionals an advanced solution for expediting access to case facts, reducing time spent on manual tasks, and improving their ability to achieve superior outcomes. The platform includes comprehensive features like Cecilia Q&A and Cecilia Timelines.
“Businesses are now starting to understand the immense potential AI can have in disrupting numerous workflows and use cases. As generative AI matures, we continue to equip lawyers with more powerful capabilities than they have ever had, such as comprehensive document parsing, case building, and information extraction. Similar to smart home assistants, we envision Cecilia to be continuously adding new skills into the platform, and this is another step towards our goal of creating a truly end-to-end platform that can handle the world’s most complex legal matters,” said Kevin Smith, DISCO’s Chief Product Officer.
Cecilia leverages various large language model technologies and advanced search techniques, providing organizations with a competitive advantage in identifying crucial factual insights, formulating case strategies, and streamlining large-scale document reviews.
The Cecilia AI platform encompasses features like Cecilia Q&A, an AI-driven expert in factual information sourced directly from a customer's database. This capability allows attorneys to grasp essential elements of a case, prepare for depositions, and formulate case strategies. Cecilia Q&A not only offers answers to questions but also provides citations to its sources, all while operating within the confines of the private data contained in the specific customer dataset.
DISCO aims to help legal departments enhance control and expedite case resolutions. The Cecilia Timelines feature enables attorneys to effortlessly generate intelligent timelines at the outset of a legal matter, streamlining comprehensive reviews with succinctly summarized facts. Moreover, Cecilia Auto Review, currently in private access starting this month, offers users the capability to conduct automatic first-pass reviews using natural language tag definitions.
Speaking of the use of AI in the legal sector, Everlaw study showed that 40% of legal professionals are currently employing generative AI tools or have intentions to incorporate them in the future.
