What if you could prep discovery while you eat lunch? AI isn’t replacing legal work - it’s reclaiming your time.

Yes. Matey AI automates tagging, organizing, and summarizing discovery materials - so what used to take hours can now be completed in minutes. Legal teams gain control earlier in the process, freeing attorneys and paralegals to focus on strategy, not sorting PDFs.

Why is discovery such a time drain?

Discovery involves:

  • Creating timelines, issue charts, and Bates logs
  • Manually summarizing evidence before attorneys can strategize
