NetDocuments ndMAX

ndMAX Legal AI is a suite of generative AI capabilities embedded within the NetDocuments cloud document management system, designed to support document analysis, search, workflow automation, and custom application development for legal professionals.

Key features and functions include:

Legal AI Assistant
A conversational interface that allows users to ask natural-language questions of one or multiple documents stored in NetDocuments. Responses are grounded in the content of user-selected documents and support tasks such as clause identification, document summarization, and key data extraction. An agentic component of the assistant can take actions in response to natural-language requests, including making edits in Microsoft Word or extracting data from documents.

Smart Answers AI Search
An AI-assisted search function that allows users to query documents across their NetDocuments environment using natural language. The system retrieves relevant documents and synthesizes responses based on their content, with citations linking back to source documents to support verification and further review.

App Builder and ndMAX Studio
A no-code application development environment that enables users to create custom AI applications tailored to specific workflows, practice areas, and jurisdictions. Users can also access and customize a library of pre-built legal AI apps available through ndMAX Studio. Supported use cases include contract review, playbook generation, deposition preparation, issue identification, document summarization, contract risk analysis, document comparison, and data extraction.

Legal Context Graph
A feature that connects documents, parties, policies, deal terms, team members, and related materials into a structured map of an organization's legal knowledge. This context layer is designed to provide AI tools — both within NetDocuments and from third-party providers — with access to the full context of a matter or project.

Permission-Aware AI
AI interactions operate within the user's existing NetDocuments security permissions and ethical walls. The system only accesses documents a user is authorized to view, ensuring AI-generated outputs reflect the same access controls applied to underlying documents.

Microsoft Copilot Integration
Users can submit queries through Microsoft Copilot that reach into NetDocuments content, subject to the user's content permissions, ethical walls, and other organization-specific security settings.
