By automating relevance, confidentiality, and privilege classifications, the platform will reduce the need for extensive manual review, accelerating time-sensitive legal processes.

This innovation ensures nothing critical is overlooked in complex datasets.
- Streamlined Automation: The introduction of advanced automation tools enables users to customize workflows with flexibility. Whether it’s scheduling, sequencing, or managing large-scale operations, Nuix Neo Discover offers the control needed to optimize legal teams’ workflows.
“What if the first pass of your review process could be automated where relevance, confidentiality, and privilege determinations are seamlessly handled by AI with precision – saving you time and streamlining your workflow. That’s the promise of Generative AI in Nuix Neo Discover. It’s not just about keeping up with the competition; it’s about setting a new standard for efficiency and accuracy in eDiscovery.” – Emily Tice, Vice President of Professional Services, Nuix.
Nuix Neo Discover revolutionizes the eDiscovery experience, enabling legal teams to achieve faster, smarter, and more cost-effective results.
Success Stories: Real Results with Nuix Neo Discover
At LegalWeek, Caroline Sweeney, Chief Knowledge & Innovation Officer at Dorsey & Whitney, offered an inspiring example of how Nuix Neo Discover has made a difference for her team.
“As we routinely do, we have evaluated other platforms. When it comes to processing data into the platform, and producing data out of the platform, the consensus among our LegalMine team, is Nuix Neo Discover definitely shines. We are able to process data faster, deal with thousands of data types, and can leverage automation in helping us during processing. Likewise, production functionality ensures a seamless ability to generate productions, often turning around productions the same day they are requested by the legal team.
We have been using the AI enrichment tools in Nuix Neo Discover and have been very pleased with the results. This is an improvement over the traditional regex searches and a great improvement over human review. We are now incorporating AI enrichment PII/PHI checks against production sets to avoid inadvertent production of protected information. We are starting to test the find and redact functionality as well. So far, it is proving to be a time saver. Used in conjunction with CAL (Continuous Active Learning), we are seeing a reduction in the number of documents requiring review. AI enrichment is proving to be another Nuix Neo Discover tool that is saving time, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with confidence.
One of the things that we really appreciate is the fact that everything stays in our environment. The AI Enrichment tools, or Cognitive AI, lives within our Nuix environment in the SaaS world. So, we’re not sending data out. Our customers’ client data is not being used to train any external models. These privacy considerations are critical to us and to our clients.”
From safeguarding data during complex, multijurisdictional cases to accelerating review and pre-production quality checks with PII identification Nuix Neo Discover is driving measurable improvements for firms like Dorsey & Whitney.
This combined with the flexibility of deployment options from on-prem, SaaS or hybrid, means firms can choose to continue with existing business models or build new solutions to meet their firms and clients’ needs.
