Merlin Alchemy is a cloud-native eDiscovery platform that combines multiple search engines with generative AI and automation to support the full discovery lifecycle, from processing through production.

Key features and functions include:

Search Capabilities
Combines Boolean search across fields and full text, semantic search based on meaning and context, and machine learning that improves with user interaction, along with freeform, plain-language search.

Alchemy Intelligence
Uses generative AI to search and analyze large document sets, surfacing the documents most relevant to a query and answering questions with citations to the underlying documents, rather than returning a list of hits for manual review. Also generates timelines, witness analyses, investigation summaries, and case assessments with source citations and direct document linkage. Supports multi-language and multi-format document analysis, with budget controls for monitoring AI usage.

Processing and Upload
Handles native files, emails, attachments, transcripts, and images, with AI-powered OCR for handwritten content and complex tables, de-duplication, de-NISTing, and direct uploads up to 5GB.

Automated Review
Supports AI-assisted responsive and privilege review through linear and continuous active learning (CAL) workflows, with smart queuing, progress tracking, and validation sampling. A related service, ReviewPartner, offers large-scale document review support independently of the core platform.

Production
Generates native, image, and text productions, with automated Bates stamping, load file generation, and privilege logging.

Appellate Capabilities
Supports transcript-level search with citation tracking, exhibit and objection tracking, record-grounded brief drafting, and full record analysis.

Alchemy Multi Matter
Manages multiple cases within a single secure repository, with matter-level access controls and separation of private work product between matters.

Security and Compliance
Each client operates in a fully isolated, single-tenant AWS environment, with data encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS, AES-256). Role-based access controls and audit logging track user activity across the platform, and client environments can be deployed in specific AWS regions to support global hosting and data residency requirements, including GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and CPRA compliance.
