AI Legal Document Intelligence

8rney's document library is an AI-powered document intelligence layer that extracts, OCRs, summarizes, and indexes legal files so your agent can retrieve them as grounded context in any research or drafting session. Upload directly or sync from Google Drive, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive — and every document becomes a queryable part of your legal knowledge base.

How document intelligence works in 8rney

  1. 1

    Upload or sync your documents

    Upload PDFs, DOCX, TXT, or image files directly to the library. Or connect Google Drive, Outlook, SharePoint, or OneDrive — 8rney pulls documents from connected sources and keeps them current.

  2. 2

    Automatic extraction and OCR

    The pipeline extracts text from all readable files. For scanned PDFs, image-based documents, or handwritten pages, OCR runs automatically as a fallback — no manual intervention needed.

  3. 3

    Auto-generated summaries for fast triage

    Each document gets a plain-language summary generated on upload. Open the library and immediately see what each file contains — without reading the full document yourself.

  4. 4

    Semantic indexing for retrieval

    Every processed document is indexed for semantic search. When the research agent or Canvas needs context, it retrieves the most relevant passages — and cites the source file and section.

Document library FAQ

What is AI document intelligence for legal teams?
AI document intelligence extracts, processes, and indexes legal documents so an AI agent can retrieve specific passages as grounded context when answering questions or drafting. 8rney applies this to legal practice: upload a contract, brief, or precedent once, and the agent can cite it in any future research or drafting session.
What file types does the library support?
PDF, DOCX, TXT, PNG, and JPG. For scanned or image-based PDFs where text extraction fails, 8rney runs OCR fallback automatically to recover readable content.
Does 8rney support Google Drive and SharePoint integration?
Yes. Connect Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Dropbox, or Gmail. Files sync from connected sources and go through the same extraction, OCR, and indexing pipeline as direct uploads.
How are document summaries generated?
After extraction, the agent reads each document and generates a plain-language summary covering the document type, key provisions, parties, dates, and notable clauses. Summaries appear in the library list for fast triage.
Are library documents used in research and canvas sessions?
Yes. Library documents are available as context across the entire workspace — research queries, matter analysis, and canvas drafting can all retrieve and cite them. The agent shows which file and section it drew from.
