Journey overview
How this pipeline works
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Filevine to a structured repository of contracts with version tracking and user permissions is established, providing a clean foundation for subsequent analysis. Then, you pass the output to CaseMine to transcribed and analyzed text from contracts is ready for metadata extraction and detailed review. Then, you pass the output to Gatekeeper to a metadata summary with key contract fields is generated, streamlining the manual review process. Then, you pass the output to Honyaku Center AI (MIRAI Platform) to a reviewed contract with highlighted issues and suggested revisions is produced for final validation. Finally, CaseText CoCounsel is used to a research brief with cited legal authorities is prepared, ensuring the review is defensible and informed.
