Overview
Clearbrief is an AI tool that works inside Microsoft Word to find and hyperlink supporting evidence for statements in legal documents. It builds tables, timelines and summaries from document sets, generates investigation reports and facts sections with linked citations, and creates Tables of Authorities and exhibit links. The vendor says it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and does not use customer data to train models, and it offers a published Solo plan for individual lawyers.
