About SmartDepo
FAQ
SmartDepo stands out with its advanced proprietary AI system, which is protected by patents. This system excels in generating comprehensive, precise, and detailed deposition summaries.
These summaries include accurate page and line references, as well as a well-organized table of contents. SmartDepo's AI system is designed to ensure accuracy and adherence to legal formatting standards. The service utilizes GPT-4 technology for its operations.
Our system employs dynamic auto-prompting engineering to provide case context, desired summary style, and transcript excerpts to the model. This guides the model to produce useful, focused summaries. ChatGPT's prompting capabilities are relatively simplistic and not built for this use case.
We utilize a variety of proprietary and patent-pending methodologies to preprocess transcripts prior to summarization with an LLM. We also use custom natural language processing (NLP) models to solve a variety of domain-specific tasks. ChatGPT has no way of batching dialogue precisely in a way that makes sense for law.
Finally, we built a system which meets the high security and confidentiality needs of attorneys. Unlike ChatGPT, which will retain any data passed through the system for at least 30 days, any data passed through SmartDepo will never be used to train AI models and will be completely purged from the system once a user decides to delete it.
SmartDepo's AI summarization process is generally accurate, supported by internal quality checks that identify potential errors or inaccuracies. However, there is a possibility of misinterpretation, especially if the source testimony is vague, ambiguous, nuanced, or poorly phrased. Consequently, SmartDepo customers are advised to review the summaries carefully before using them in official legal proceedings or documents.
SmartDepo retains customer transcripts and summaries until the customer decides to delete the files from the SmartDepo web app. During this storage period, SmartDepo solely uses the files to provide access to the customer and does not employ them for any other purpose. SmartDepo does not engage in fine-tuning using customer data and commits to never disclosing customer data to third parties except for sharing with OpenAI through OpenAI's API.
No, OpenAI does not retain any data processed by SmartDepo through OpenAI's API. This non-retention policy is established through a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement between SmartDepo and OpenAI.
SmartDepo has not yet done a SOC 2 audit, however the infrastructure we use is SOC 2 compliant. We follow the security best practices as defined by our cloud provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS), to ensure the security of data and compute. The AWS guidelines themselves are stricter than the general SOC 2 guidelines. The AWS guidelines are available here.
Our AI deposition summaries convert raw dialogue into narrative form, which is substantively batched with page and line citations for easy reference to the source transcript. This saves you time and money enabling you to navigate thousands of pages of transcript with ease. Moreover, the page and line summaries help you efficiently find relevant testimony to be referenced in other briefs and motions.
At SmartDepo, we understand the realities of modern legal practice. As former litigators ourselves, we know the strain of looming deadlines, unpredictable cases, and constant information overload.
We're on a mission to keep legal teams confidently prepared, no matter which way a case goes.
Our AI deposition summary technology is our first product created by attorneys, for attorneys. We automatically generate dynamic page-line citations, hyperlinked tables of contents, and key admissions so you can instantly pinpoint salient testimony.
Testimony makes or breaks a case. With SmartDepo, you don't have to waste your legal talent manually poring over thousands of pages. Our tech does the grunt work so you can focus on higher value legal analysis, ensuring you've absorbed all crucial testimony long before you need it.
Our mission is simple: Win more cases with less stress.
