Law is one of the oldest professions and has no shortage of concise maxims. You’ve probably heard: “When you have the facts, hammer the facts. When you have the law, hammer the law. When you have neither, hammer the table” or “A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.”
Discovery has its own set of colorful aphorisms: “a trial on paper,” “a war of attrition” and, as Judge Victor Marrero of the Southern District of New York once said, “a no-man’s land of virtually unsupervised litigation.”
In litigation, the question is often not what you know, but rather what you have the time, money, and personnel to prove. Discovery is long, combative and costly. And most eDiscovery tools are too complex and expensive for small businesses.
Discovery, at its core, involves reading, summarizing, and answering questions. And AI is designed for that.
Autodoc: the AI that reinvents Discovery Drafting
Briefpoint’s new Autodoc tool delivers on the promise of AI: affordable efficiency and scalability. This eliminates the chore of discovery. Imagine turning thousands of pages into ready-made answers, complete with Bates numbering and page-level citations in just seconds. This is not hyperbole. This is what Autodoc claims. In 3 to 10 seconds per query, it finds responsive documents, writes responses, cites sources, and packages it all into a production-ready package.
Autodoc finds what matters… quickly
Point Autodoc to a folder and Briefpoint’s AI will find important documents. It tells you what’s relevant, tells you when nothing is, or finds a needle in a haystack. In a recent Lawyerist demo, Autodoc scanned through 1,000 pages in seconds and brought up two directly relevant single-line entries. The result even cites Bates numbers in both the production request and the production filing.
Three Steps to Fast, Accurate Discovery Responses
As an AI-powered tool, most users should feel comfortable with Autodoc’s interface.
All you need to get started are PDFs of your production requests and the production received from the opposing side.
- Download your calls for tenders and your production or case files.
- Autodoc detects responsive documents in folders.
- It edits your answers, adds Bates-stamped quotes, and packages it all into a polished, exportable set of answers.
These three steps are so simple. Yet, done manually, they can be slow, painful and expensive. Autodoc brings the power of AI to save time, money and level the legal playing field in discovery.
Briefpoint helps attorneys draft proposed and processed RFPs, Requests for Information, and Requests for Admission in all U.S. jurisdictions. It is SOC 2 certified, HIPAA compliant, and uses company-standard objections and templates to ensure consistency.
For example, Briefpoint’s discovery module takes a PDF of your complaint and automatically generates three sets of outgoing discovery requests: admissions, interrogatories, and production. Each is written to avoid objections such as overbreadth or ambiguity.
Autodoc is not a standalone feature. This is a force multiplier, built on Briefpoint’s existing AI foundation.
Autodoc saves time, money and sanity
Founded by a former litigator, Briefpoint appreciates the value of “trading weeks of review for a single download.” But of course, speed alone is not a virtue. Briefpoint combines speed and courtroom-ready quality. Autodoc drafts are designed to meet both standards.
Ultimately, you spend less on tedious tasks: less time, less money and less energy. It’s not about replacing you or your time. It’s about freeing him. With Autodoc managing the process, you can focus on research, reasoning, and rhetoric, the strategic areas where your litigator’s time makes the biggest difference.
