Robert Ambrogi BlogElevator Pitch: We focus on litigation innovation. eSumry speeds the job of reviewing and analyzing deposition transcripts with AI. Forget old-school word indexes with our patent-pending ML-powered aspect identification. Create deposition digests without the hassle of switching documents, typing page/line numbers, or opening and closing text boxes. Easily export the summary to MS Word for the case file. All in a user-friendly interface. Faster, better summaries to keep your cases on track.
What makes you unique or innovative? We combine artificial intelligence with legal subject matter expertise to enable innovative solutions. Our CEO, a busy trial attorney, saw the need to bring technology to the guild. Our vision, help litigators focus on higher value work by streamlining more tedious tasks. We started with depositions. That’s where the most valuable case information is. Reviewing & summarizing depositions is critical yet a tedious case task. We improved the process with a product that speeds the job, saving time.
What problem do you solve? Depositions are essential for case development. Summarizing them for motions, trial, and client reporting is time consuming. eSumry’s patent-pending AI highlights key aspects of witness testimony to speed up this job, freeing attorneys and paralegals for higher value work. It eliminates having to switch between documents when summarizing. No more typing in page/line numbers, jumping from the keyboard to scrolling and clicking a mouse. It has been trained for injury litigation to identify testimony relating to issues such as liability, damages, and medical treatment. Our roadmap is to train the AI for other types of litigation.
Your competitors? The status quo is attorneys and paralegals using document tools (MS Word, Excel) to type deposition summaries. (This work can be outsourced to ALSPs and other third parties such as Axiom, Trivent Legal, and Absolaw.) Case management products like Lexis TextMap allow annotating and exporting annotations.
