Agentic AI transforms eDiscovery document review in several ways. This post from Exterro discusses examples of how it does it!

In their post titled (wait for it!) Using AI to Deliver Precise, Scalable Document Review (available here), Exterro notes that for most legal departments, document review is the “black box” of the eDiscovery lifecycle. Historically, it is a phase defined by unpredictability and massive spend, consuming approximately three-quarters of the total cost of discovery.

The key to making document review smarter is attacking the cost center before it balloons. This starts by actively culling data during the earlier stages of collection and leveraging workflow automation to ensure only the most relevant data enters the review set. Once data reaches the review stage, agentic AI changes the math of discovery by acting as an intelligent accelerator that delivers speed, accuracy, and consistency. Agentic AI transforms eDiscovery document review, delivering speed, accuracy, and consistency with human oversight.

What can specialized AI agents do to support discovery? Here’s one example:

Fact-Finding & Timeline Creation: Agents can scan massive datasets to reconstruct events, identifying the “who, what, and when” far faster than a human reviewer.

So, what are three other ways specialized AI agents can support discovery? And what are three ways to eliminate high-risk handoffs? Find out here, it’s only one click! Be your own agent! And download Exterro’s recent whitepaper – An Action Plan for Smarter eDiscovery – here! 😉

So, what do you think? Are you utilizing agentic AI in discovery? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
