General Questions About Briefpoint Discovery Software

Briefpoint's AI is trained on thousands of real discovery documents collected from courts (not users) and continuously improves based on legal best practices. However, as with any legal document, attorney review is essential to ensure accuracy and compliance with your specific case requirements.

Briefpoint is an AI-powered legal discovery software that helps law firms propound and respond to discovery in minutes instead of weeks. The platform can:

  • Generate objection-aware RFAs, RFPs, and Interrogatories from complaints
  • Respond to discovery requests with automatic objections and client-collected responses
  • Create bated production packages with Autodoc
  • Translate legal language into plain English or Spanish for client responses
  • Support all 50 U.S. states and all 98 Federal district courts

Trusted by 1,500+ law firms nationwide, Briefpoint saves attorneys 30+ hours per case on average. Learn more about Briefpoint's features.

Briefpoint saves attorneys 30+ hours per case on average. Here's how:

  • Propounding: Generate 70+ targeted requests in minutes instead of days
  • Responding: Automatic objections and client response collection cut response time by 85%
  • Autodoc: Turn weeks of production review into minutes with Bates-cited responses

Many firms report completing discovery work that previously took weeks in just a few hours with Briefpoint.

Autodoc Questions - AI Discovery Response Software

Autodoc is Briefpoint's AI-powered feature that turns productions and case files into ready-to-serve discovery responses in minutes. Here's how it works:

  1. Upload: Drag and drop the complaint, RFPs, and production/case files
  2. Find: Autodoc searches across folders and pinpoints responsive documents per RFP
  3. Generate: Download Word responses with Bates citation substantive responses plus a Bates-numbered production package

The entire process takes 3-10 seconds per request, turning days of manual work into minutes.

Autodoc shines on common litigation matters with productions under roughly 10,000 pages where heavyweight e-discovery is overkill. This includes:

  • Personal injury cases
  • Employment disputes
  • Contract disputes
  • Business litigation
  • Most civil litigation matters

For larger matters with extensive document review, Autodoc can still be used for specific RFP sets or as part of a broader e-discovery workflow.

Autodoc generates two main outputs:

  1. Word Response Document: Fully captioned with objections, and substantive responses citing to responsive documents by their Bates range(s)
  2. Bated Production Package: A production zip file that's ready to serve and compliant with common local-rule expectations

Both are ready to review, edit, and serve immediately after generation.

Yes—you have complete control. Before generating final responses, you can:

  • Confirm or deselect files that Autodoc identified as responsive
  • Tag privileged materials to add them to your Privileged List for privilege log creation
  • Edit all text in Word before service, including objections and answers
  • See exactly where the AI looked with transparent search visualization

You maintain full attorney oversight and control throughout the process.

Typical drafting runs about 3-10 seconds per request, turning days of work into minutes. For example:

  • A 40-RFP set that previously took 30-40 hours can be completed in minutes
  • Pre-processing can take hours, however you can upload the case file as you get it so that, when you receive an RFP, the processing will have completed
  • Response time is 95% faster than manual discovery work

The speed depends on the number of requests and document volume, but even large productions are processed in a fraction of the time required for manual review.

Autodoc automatically applies Bates numbering to all documents in your production package and includes bate cites in substantive responses in the Word response. This means:

  • Every page gets a unique Bates number
  • Responses reference specific Bates numbers (e.g., "BP001234 through 001235")
  • The production package is organized and ready to serve
  • Citations are accurate and match the bated documents

You can customize the Bates prefix and starting number to match your firm's conventions.

Features & Capabilities - RFAs, RFPs, Interrogatories

Briefpoint can generate around 70 targeted requests/interrogatories from a complaint in under 3 minutes. The process:

  1. Upload your PDF complaint
  2. Briefpoint analyzes allegations, claims, dates, parties, and damages theories
  3. AI generates Interrogatories, RFAs, and RFPs tailored to your case
  4. Requests are objection-aware and rewritten to avoid ambiguity and compound structure
  5. Export to Word, ready to serve

All requests are formatted for your selected jurisdiction and include proper definitions, instructions, and time frames.

Briefpoint's client response collection feature eliminates the email chaos of getting client answers:

  1. Send Questions: Select interrogatories and send to clients via secure link
  2. Plain English Translation: Questions appear in conversational language (or Spanish) that clients can understand
  3. Client Responds: Clients answer directly in their browser—no app required
  4. Get Word Drafts: Responses automatically flow into Word format, ready to serve

This process typically results in 3x faster client responses compared to traditional email exchanges.

Objection-aware generation means Briefpoint's AI is trained to avoid common discovery traps that lead to objections. When generating requests, the AI:

  • Rewrites language to avoid ambiguity
  • Eliminates compound structure
  • Prevents overbreadth issues
  • Ensures single-issue RFAs
  • Automatic definition identification and incorporation

When responding to discovery, Briefpoint can also suggest appropriate objections based on the request type and your firm's standards.

Yes. Briefpoint offers one-click Spanish translation for client response collection. This feature:

  • Translates interrogatories into clear Spanish
  • Allows clients to respond in Spanish
  • Translates responses back to English for your Word documents
  • Maintains legal accuracy while using conversational language

This is particularly helpful for cases involving Spanish-speaking clients who may struggle with complex legal English.

All Briefpoint documents are exported as Microsoft Word (.docx) files, which means:

  • Fully editable in Word or compatible software
  • Compatible with firm templates and letterhead
  • Ready for final review and attorney signature
  • Properly formatted with captions, headers, and footers
  • Can be converted to PDF for service

You maintain complete control to edit, customize, and finalize documents before serving.
