This week’s Product Walk Through is with Cicero, a privately hosted genAI system that assists with legal document analysis. It also uses a measure called ‘AI Units’ (see below) to help calculate fees for clients when AI is part of a matter.
The Cicero system, which has been built by Automatise, is powered by Meta’s Llama 3.1 405B models and operates securely from behind a firm’s firewall. Cicero performs functions such as streamlining document review, due diligence, and eDiscovery tasks, the company said.
Taking us through the AL TV video is Joseph Rayment, Managing Director at Automatise. There is a detailed walk through, followed by Q&A with Artificial Lawyer.

The platform centres on five core functions:
- ‘Document Parsing: Divides complex legal documents into structured segments, enabling efficient and thorough analysis.
- Document Categorisation: Organises materials in line with court protocols, ensuring consistent filing and compliance.
- Summarisation: Converts lengthy documents into clear, focused summaries that capture essential information.
- Investigating Matters of Fact: Searches systematically through hundreds of thousands of document collections to identify relevant case information.
- Chronology Creation: Constructs detailed timelines of case events to support legal proceedings.’
And with regard to AI Units: For every action performed in Cicero, the contribution AI makes towards the matter is tracked in the form of AI units, which are based off the number of words processed in the transaction.
This calculus can be used behind the scenes to assist in pricing of AFAs, or by agreement with customers AI Units can be passed on directly as disbursements similar to eDiscovery hosting fees, they explain.
