How AI is used

BriefCatch is an AI-powered editing tool that operates as a Microsoft Word add-in, designed for the needs of legal writing. Rather than relying on generic AI, the tool uses rules based on examples from judges and attorneys to suggest improvements to legal briefs, memos, and contracts.

The software is designed for law firms, courts, and government agencies. It helps users identify style drift and improve the clarity of their arguments through real-time suggestions and quality reports.

For buyers concerned with confidentiality, the tool is SOC 2 certified and uses AES-256 encryption. It is designed to process text in RAM without storing or retaining document content, which helps protect attorney-client privilege.

Buyers should confirm how the tool fits into their specific review workflow and whether the available deployment options—cloud or stand-alone—meet their firm's IT requirements.
