Lextenso has enhanced its artificial intelligence tool, Consult’IA, with a new functionality to synthesize and analyze legal documents, including contracts, notarized acts. This development allows Consult’IA to directly interact with the primary materials used by legal professionals.
Emmanuelle Filiberti, the general director of Lextenso, notes that Consult’IA has over 5,000 users, comprising lawyers, notaries, and corporate jurists. The tool has become an integral part of their daily work, with some users stating they can no longer work without it.
Enhancing Legal Analysis
Consult’IA is designed to provide structured and sourced responses to legal queries, enabling professionals to further develop their reasoning. The tool’s primary value lies in its ability to enrich legal reflection and deepen analysis, as evident from user feedback.
A lawyer, for instance, praised Consult’IA for its ability to “push their reflection” and provide exceptional support. This feedback aligns with Lextenso’s goal of enabling professionals to gain more time and expertise.
The next logical step in Consult’IA’s development was to incorporate document analysis, as legal work often begins with examining documents such as contracts, notarized acts, or conclusions from opposing parties.
Users had been requesting the ability to transmit their own documents to Consult’IA for analysis, and this new functionality addresses that demand.
Document Analysis and Synthesis
With the updated Consult’IA, users can now upload documents, and the tool will identify the document’s nature and produce an adapted analytical synthesis. This synthesis highlights essential information, potential inconsistencies, and points of vigilance, particularly regarding the parties’ positions.
Consult’IA then proceeds to analyze the documents in relation to applicable law, leveraging Lextenso and Légifrance’s resources, and identifies potential legal issues. The professional can then examine the identified points more closely or pose their own questions.
Additionally, Consult’IA allows users to work with multiple documents from the same case or different versions of a single document, facilitating comparisons and highlighting evolutions or divergences.
The development of this functionality was guided by the diverse needs of legal professionals, who work with various types of documents containing different information.
For example, an attorney can use Consult’IA to quickly extract the essential points from lengthy opposing conclusions, identify inconsistencies, and pinpoint legal issues to explore further.
Consult’IA can facilitate the analysis of documents, and professionals can use it to gain significant time savings in preparatory work and enhanced precision and depth of analysis, allowing them to focus on high-value tasks.
As professionals work with Consult’IA, they can expect a high level of security and confidentiality, with the tool hosted in a secure environment in France.
Documents uploaded to Consult’IA are not stored, and the data is not used to train the artificial intelligence models, ensuring the confidentiality of the information entrusted to the tool.
This emphasis on security is part of Lextenso’s broader approach to trust, which involves providing reliable analyses based on directly accessible sources, enabling professionals to verify the analysis and pursue their own reflection.
According to Emmanuelle Filiberti, this development is a step towards creating a true legal assistant that can support professionals in their daily work, from analyzing cases to deepening their reflection, while maintaining the core values of Lextenso: trust and reliability.
Security and Confidentiality
Consult’IA is hosted in a secure environment in France, which imposes a high level of requirement for cloud services.
