Filevine LOIS news and product updates

Case names in LOIS drafts that fail its anti hallucination check now appear as clickable highlights instead of a static warning. Clicking one opens a case law lookup listing the full citations of opinions that might match, so the user can confirm whether the reference points to the right case. Filevine says it is live on all US production environments.

Buyer relevance. A flag that leads straight to candidate opinions gets checked far more often than a warning that sends the lawyer elsewhere. For firms worried about sanctions over fabricated citations, the check now sits inside the drafting step.

Filevine released a new Review experience in Word, in beta. Filevine says Review Beta follows a firm's playbook while reasoning across the document and retrieving relevant context, applying the guidance with more nuance and precision. The update's web address describes the beta as open to every organization.

Buyer relevance. Playbook review that reads the whole document and related context can catch cross reference problems a clause level check misses. The update is one sentence long with no evidence of results, so teams should rerun their own playbooks on the beta before relying on it.

LOIS Console can now build and edit PDFs through chat. Users can assemble demand packets and exhibit packets, apply Bates numbers and edit PDF text without leaving the console.

Buyer relevance. Personal injury and litigation teams can produce stamped packets in the same place they draft, replacing the hand assembly step that usually happens in a separate PDF editor.

LOIS for Word now lets users mark any playbook check as a Deal breaker for terms where any change should stop the deal. The flag sits alongside the High, Medium and Low ratings LOIS assigns, rather than replacing them.

Buyer relevance. Contract teams can separate terms they will never concede from ordinary risk, so a reviewer cannot wave a change to one of them through because the AI rated it Medium.

LOIS for Word gained a built in viewer for Excel and CSV files, with sheet tabs, search and zoom. When LOIS cites a spreadsheet, the rows it relied on are highlighted, so the citation can be checked without opening the file in another app.

Buyer relevance. Damages figures, billing data and other spreadsheet evidence can be checked against the exact rows behind an AI answer, which closes a gap where citations to tables were hard to verify.

Filevine brought LOIS, its AI assistant, into two new places in its release for the week of 21 Sept. A LOIS tab in the Outlook add in drafts replies to received emails using the email, its attachments and the selected Filevine project's context, and an Insert button opens the draft in Outlook for the user to edit before sending. Inside Filevine, the full LOIS Console now opens in a side panel next to project details, replacing the older Ask LOIS chat.

Buyer relevance. Case teams can draft replies with matter context without leaving the inbox, and nothing goes out until the user edits and sends it. Moving LOIS beside project details also removes the trip to a separate AI site.
