AI Matter Intelligence: Make Past Matters Easy to Search

The End of "Ctrl+F": Chatting with Your Matter Management System

Legal teams generate a massive amount of knowledge through the matters they handle every day. Unfortunately, that knowledge is often scattered across systems, buried in email, or housed in an attorney’s memory. As legal teams grow and evolve, that institutional knowledge is even harder to retain and reuse. Valuable context gets lost.

AI Matter Intelligence, now available in Matter Management, changes that. It ensures that knowledge doesn’t disappear when a colleague moves on. By making every past matter searchable in natural language, AI Matter Intelligence turns work history into a current and accessible knowledge base.

How It Works

AI Matter Intelligence uses proprietary retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology to allow users to ask natural-language questions about past matters directly within the LegalOn Assistant.

Ask questions like:

• “Where are the bottlenecks in our current contract approval process for vendor agreements?”
• “How many contract drafting matters did we complete in 2025?”
• “What was the average time between matter submission and assignment?”

The system searches across matter application details, timeline logs, and metadata like created date, due date, and matter number. It then surfaces relevant precedents with sourced references, giving users clear, traceable answers in seconds—without manual searching or relying on colleagues.

Past Knowledge, Present Benefits

Legal teams shouldn’t have to rely on memory to find what’s already been done. When past knowledge is easily searchable and instantly available, legal teams enjoy:

• Faster answers, less searching. No more digging through records or asking around. Answers are available instantly.
• Consistency across the team. Everyone can access the same historical context, leading to more aligned decisions.
• Resilience to turnover. Knowledge stays within the system, not with individuals.
• Compounding value over time. The more matters your team handles, the more powerful the knowledge base becomes.

AI Matter Intelligence exists to make past work reusable. It turns institutional knowledge into data that is readily available, easy to access, and always improving as your legal team grows.
