Everlaw Founder and CEO AJ Shankar responded to my question, “Tell me what makes Everlaw’s new Project Query different?” with a deep dive into their implementation of RAG AI. Instead of complicated prompts or rigid review workflows, this extends the EverlawAI Assistant portfolio by allowing non-technical users to just ask questions and get a GenAI summary derived exclusively from and linked to your hosted documents. This practical approach expands Everlaw’s initial document level summarization and recommendations covered last year to reach across very large (reportedly TBs) collections avoiding without external hallucinations.
While I do not do demo’s at conferences, AJ did challenge me to submit a question for an Everlaw case loaded with the Opioid litigation data set pulled from a public archive
“Did the opioid manufacturers monitor for locations distributing excessive volumes of prescriptions in excess of the served population and how did they respond if pill-mills were identified?”
Project Query provided an overview of compliance monitoring systems utilized by the companies, policies and procedures with the most relevant facts ranked and linked to the source documents in seconds. This is exactly the kind of question that I would normally spend hours of client billable time constructing multiple searches to build a substantiated answer for counsel. The ROI is clear. Does that put me out of a job? No, but it does eliminate billable or delegated grunt work grinding through hundreds or thousands of results. I would rather deliver value with smart questions than bill for clicking and tagging.
Beyond Everlaw’s latest AI release, they have been making market moves expanding to UK, European and global customers with in-region data processing, G-Cloud status, large volume translations and a new global Everlaw Staging Drive. I heard Everlaw mentioned frequently as gaining market traction with reliable, practical functionality and simple licensing. They are definitely on my RFP candidate list for corporations taking ownership of their eDiscovery since the Pandemic Pause.
