DISCO Launches Advanced Research for Deep, Agentic AI Powered eDiscovery and Fact Investigation

Key Terms

ediscovery technical

eDiscovery is the process of locating, preserving, reviewing and producing digital records—like emails, texts, documents and cloud files—when a company faces legal or regulatory disputes. For investors, eDiscovery matters because it can reveal undisclosed problems, drive legal costs, delays or fines, and expose reputational risks; think of it as a forensic search through a company’s digital filing cabinet that can change how the business is valued.

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

multi-step reasoning technical

Multi-step reasoning is the process of reaching a conclusion by linking a series of logical steps, where each step depends on the previous one—like following a recipe where each instruction must be completed in order to get the final dish. For investors, it matters because forecasts, risk assessments and regulatory interpretations often require chaining facts, assumptions and calculations; errors or missing steps can turn a plausible-looking conclusion into a bad decision.

Provides autonomous and transparent multi-step reasoning for better insights on complex litigation matters

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DISCO (NYSE: LAW), a creator of industry-leading litigation technology, today announced the general availability of Advanced Research, an agentic AI application that adds autonomous, multi-step reasoning capabilities and provides detailed visibility into its decision making and logic to help litigators quickly evolve case strategy and gain deep insight from their evidence.

Advanced Research is a purpose-built eDiscovery tool for fact investigation that’s designed to tackle complex queries using agentic “deep thinking” reasoning to lean into challenging questions and deliver thorough responses to inform the best investigative strategy. Advanced Research does more than just find relevant documents; it uses agentic reasoning to speed up fact-finding and develop memos, create deposition outlines and timelines and deliver review-ready results within minutes.

"Litigators win by knowing the facts faster and better than the other side. That's the real edge Advanced Research brings – understanding your case and developing your case strategy before opposing counsel gets started,” said DISCO’s Vice President, Product Management, Devin Kani. "Many legacy eDiscovery providers are still a generation behind – even with their latest releases. Litigators today need agentic tools that offer more than just the ability to chat with their data. Advanced Research is different. It works through huge volumes of data and surfaces the insights that actually matter to a case team. We built it to help litigators find the facts faster and turn complex eDiscovery into a clear path to winning the case."

Since early access began this summer, customer engagement has more than doubled. Users with Advanced Research are asking twice as many questions on average compared to those who aren’t in early access, highlighting the value and results it can deliver for them and their customers quickly in their own secure space, without having to export their data to another platform.

“Advanced Research is a powerful tool, and even in our early stages of using it it has yielded significant breakthroughs for us in discovery,” said Chris Bateman, Partner at Cohen Milstein. “I can easily see it becoming a regular part of our document review workflow across other cases.”

Instead of just giving a quick result, Advanced Research reviews its own findings, decides what’s missing and runs new searches to build a more complete and well-supported answer, searching for both exact keywords and the general meaning of the initial prompt. The enhancement to DISCO’s AI-enabled technology platform is designed to tackle large data sets and return significantly enhanced results, making deeper, more granular connections with subsequent prompts or queries.

“For generations of legal practice, corporate defendants have tried to hide damning documents in a mountain of irrelevant material,” said Previn Warren, Member at Motley Rice. “Advanced Research is like a supercharged team of associates and should put an end to that strategy once and for all.”

DISCO Advanced Research will be on display at booth #216 throughout ILTACON this August in Nashville. Interested customers are invited to stop by for a product demonstration.
