  • Quality control gates slowing contract turnaround
  • Rising discovery volumes from digital communications

Top use cases

Top use cases

Document Processor

Organizations process thousands of documents monthly in mixed formats (PDF, scans, emails, images). Manual classification and data extraction introduces 5-15% error rates, 2-3 day processing delays, and scales linearly with headcount.

Research Assistant

Researchers spend 3-5 hours filtering through sources, cross-referencing claims, and organizing conclusions for a single research question. Manual synthesis is error-prone, sources get lost, and findings are hard to reproduce.

Open Guide

Knowledge Base Agent

Internal knowledge is scattered across Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, and Slack. Employees spend 20% of their week searching for information, and answers are inconsistent because no one knows which document is the current source of truth.
