Our Mission

We're on a mission to keep legal teams confidently prepared, no matter which way a case goes.

We imagine a world where AI helps ensure our legal system is affordable, efficient, and just. Managing massive amounts of deposition testimony is a huge pain point, which is why we created SmartDepo – to help lawyers supercharge their law and motion practice with testimony management. Our AI deposition summary technology is our first product created by attorneys, for attorneys, automatically generating dynamic page-line citations, hyperlinked tables of contents, and key admissions so you can instantly pinpoint salient testimony.

Testimony makes or breaks a case, but you shouldn't have to waste your legal talent manually poring over thousands of pages. Our solution resulted in a 16-step patent-pending AI technology that can summarize depositions within hours, not days, generating dynamic page-line citations, hyperlinked tables of contents, and pulling out key admissions. Our tech handles the busywork so you can focus on winning cases – we want to help lawyers win more cases with a lot fewer headaches, ensuring you've absorbed all crucial testimony long before you need it.
