Relativity’s aiR for Review isn’t just another tool; it’s like having an extra set of sharp, tireless eyes on your team. Powered by generative AI, it mimics the efforts of a human reviewer, combing through documents and identifying exactly what matters, but with much better precision and consistency.
It follows your instructions, i.e., “prompt criteria,” to analyze for relevance, key documents, or specific issues. The result? A faster, smarter way to manage legal reviews.
Here’s why you should care: The process is tailored, efficient, and reliable. You don’t have to hand over full control – you fine-tune it as you go.
Start with a small set of documents, see how aiR performs compared to a human reviewer, and refine the criteria until it’s spot on. By the time you move on to larger datasets, you’ll know you’re getting results you can trust.
What sets aiR for Review apart:
Just adapt your workflow to the needs of your case, and the tool implements your adjustments. It turns a typically painstaking and time-consuming process into something efficient and accurate.
Start small. Test aiR for Review on fifty or so documents – a mix of mostly relevant and some irrelevant ones – and compare its output to human coding. Where there are gaps, tweak the prompt criteria. Maybe aiR misread an acronym or missed a subtlety in your instructions. Once it’s dialed in, test again, refine further, and when you're confident, apply it to larger sets.
The best part? You stay in control. It’s not about replacing your judgment but sharpening it with speed and consistency.
Any time you use a more powerful tool to leverage your knowledge across a broader range of documents, you increase both benefits and risks. You’ll catch more relevant language that may have been missed by a human reviewer, but you risk missing important information that was not part of your original sample set.
For this reason, validation is not just a good idea…it’s an essential part of the process. You’ll need to have a fully developed validation process where you sample a larger universe of documents and confirm that the tool is working the way it is intended.
That’s why aiR for Review is not just an “Easy Button.” There may be MORE work required by the lawyer who is the subject matter expert of a particular matter than that required when conducting a manual review. This extra effort, however, is balanced by a huge reduction in time spent on the actual document review. The net result is lower overall cost and better consistency.
Time is everything in legal reviews, and aiR for Review delivers. Instead of getting bogged down in tedious document analysis, you focus on strategy, knowing that aiR has your back with reliable, targeted results. While it currently can’t handle non-text elements like complex spreadsheets or videos, it excels with text-heavy documents, which are often the backbone of legal cases.
If you’re looking to save time, improve accuracy, and tackle document reviews with a tool that adapts to your approach, aiR for Review is the move. It’s not just about working faster; it’s about working smarter.
