  • Comprehend and recall documents more effectively: review summaries, topics, and/or coding suggestions in tandem with the document text to enhance your comprehension and analysis of the content

 

  • Get to insights faster: add the columns associated with summaries, topics, or coding suggestions to your results table and use them to quickly understand, sort, and prioritize a large set of documents

 

  • Search more effectively: search and filter by coding suggestions or topics to hone in faster on the right documents for what you need

 

  • Speed up reporting: export summaries, topics, or coding suggestions from the results table as part of a CSV, and reduce the manual effort needed to create reports or work product where the substance or classification of documents matter

 

  • Creatively engage with your documents: if you require more idiosyncratic or creative analysis of a document, leverage document Q&A to get tailored insights

Topic analysis:

Everlaw AI Assistant can analyze a document for topics. For each identified topic, Everlaw will provide (1) a summary for the topic; (2) related document snippets; (3) a sentiment rating for the topic with reasoning for the rating; and (4) a list of related entities, with descriptions for each entity. Topic information is available in the Review Window, Results Table, and can be searched. Topics can be generated for individual documents or in batch (up to 2000 docs in a batch).
