One question, every active matter answered.
The challenge
Staying current on where each outside counsel matter stands, and what it's costing, usually means checking multiple firms' updates separately. Getting a single, current picture takes time the in-house team doesn't have to spare.
The solution
The AI-Native Search experience answers questions across every matter in natural language, drawing on the correspondence and invoices on file and citing each figure to its source. The general counsel's team sees the current picture in one place, with the underlying detail one click away.
Key Capabilities Used:
The AI-Native Search experience; Ask iManage.
From the next-gen iManage platform, open the AI-Native Search experience. Type the question as you would ask a colleague, for example: "Which active matters have had no update in the last two weeks, and what has each firm billed to date?"
The search experience reads directly from the matter workspaces the in-house team manages, so results are drawn from the actual correspondence and invoices on file.
The AI-Native Search experience returns a structured summary across matters, with each figure and status cited back to its source document.
The team can see where attention is needed at a glance, and select any citation to open the underlying correspondence or invoice in full.
Ask a follow-up question with Ask iManage, such as "Given that Johnson v. Metro hasn't been updated in nearly three weeks and has already billed $187,920, what are the upcoming critical deadlines or milestones for this matter, and should we reach out to Harrison & Blake for a status update?"
Continue the conversation without leaving the next-gen platform and return to the results at any time.
