An AI Assistant That Handles Your Casework Like Clockwork

Key Takeaways

  • AI assistants process thousands of medical record pages in minutes, not hours—extracting treatments, diagnoses, and timelines automatically
  • Injury assessment becomes systematic: AI identifies all documented injuries, links them to causation evidence, and flags gaps
  • Damage calculations are consistent: Every medical expense, lost wage, and future care need is captured and organized
  • Human judgment stays central: AI handles extraction; attorneys focus on strategy, negotiation, and client relationships

The "Brain in a Jar" That Never Forgets

"We liken the trained model to a 'brain in a jar' to reflect the fact that it has no memory and cannot learn from prompts... This is key to understanding data security." — John Tredennick, Merlin Legal

Legal AI assistants work differently than you might expect. They don't "remember" your cases or learn from your data. Each task starts fresh—the AI processes what you give it, extracts what matters, and returns structured output. Your data stays yours.

This architecture matters for two reasons:

  1. Security: No risk of your case details appearing in another firm's output
  2. Consistency: The AI applies the same rigorous extraction every time, regardless of case volume
