Stop Digging, Start Defending: Get a Full Case Summary on Demand

Stop digging through case files. One query gives you a full case summary so you can start defending immediately, not days later.

Overview

In criminal defense, there’s no such thing as too much time, but there’s always too much discovery. Case files arrive by the gigabyte, packed with police reports, jail calls, bodycam footage, and more. The first step is figuring out what you’re actually looking at.

With Matey AI, that step now takes seconds. One simple, natural language query “Give me a detailed summary of the material uploaded to this case” turns a mountain of evidence into an organized, comprehensive overview you can act on immediately.

Stop digging through folders. Start defending your client.

The Challenge: Starting From Zero

Every defense attorney and paralegal knows the feeling. You finally get the discovery… and it’s a mess.

  • 10 PDFs named SCAN0001.pdf
  • Hundreds of pages of narrative reports with no index
  • Dozens of hours of audio and video without transcripts
  • Witness statements scattered across formats

Before you can even begin building a defense, you need to answer basic questions: What’s here? Who’s involved? What evidence is actually relevant?

Traditional approaches to this “orientation” phase can eat up days. And in an overloaded office, that lost time can mean lost opportunities for your client.

The Matey AI Approach: Ask, Don’t Search

Matey AI flips the old process on its head. Instead of combing through every file yourself, you simply upload your discovery into Matey, then type one question:

“Give me a detailed summary of the material uploaded to this case.”

That’s it.

In moments, Matey returns a clear, structured report that:
- Lists the key individuals, their roles, and how they appear in the evidence
- Identifies major events, timelines, and relationships
- Notes the types of files included (e.g., police reports, transcripts, AV evidence)
- Surfaces early insights, contradictions, and areas that may need clarification

You’re not just skimming. You’re understanding.

Why It Matters

Criminal defense is about strategy, not document review. The sooner you understand what you’re up against, the sooner you can start shaping your argument, anticipating the prosecution’s narrative, and identifying gaps in the state’s evidence.

Matey AI doesn’t just save time. It gives you a head start.

  • Get everyone on your team aligned faster
  • Start drafting motions and prepping questions on day one
  • Spend your time lawyering, not labeling files

As Abraham Lincoln said:
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”

Looking Ahead

The smartest teams aren’t the ones who work the longest hours. They’re the ones who spend those hours where they matter most.

With Matey AI, getting oriented on a new case is as easy as asking for a summary. The discovery doesn’t get smaller. But you get smarter, instantly.

If you’re still digging through folders to figure out what you’ve got, it’s time to stop. Just ask.
