Introducing ndMAX Assist, a simple front door to AI that also
features a Microsoft Copilot integration
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NetDocuments, the world's
#1 trusted cloud platform where legal professionals do their best
work, and now a three-time Inc. 5000 honoree, today announced the
expansion of its ndMAX AI-powered capabilities providing legal
professionals with a cloud platform that delivers intelligence,
automation, and security at every level.
We're excited about ndMAX Assist and how it
creates an easy, accessible way for legal organizations to
introduce AI-powered capabilities into their everyday workflows.
Josh Baxter, CEO,
NetDocuments.
ndMAX Assist is a new intelligent agent that uses artificial
intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to help
users work more efficiently and effectively with their documents.
NetDocuments PatternBuilder MAX customers – over 13,000 users
worldwide - can experience ndMAX Assist in a closed beta shortly
following ILTACON, with wider availability coming later this
year.
The new intelligent agent enables users to interact with
NetDocuments through natural language commands and queries to find
information, answer questions in documents, create summaries, and
easily draft responses or revisions to content.
"We're excited about ndMAX Assist and how it creates an easy,
accessible way for legal organizations to introduce AI-powered
capabilities into their everyday workflows," stated Josh Baxter, CEO, NetDocuments. "Having an
intelligent agent inside NetDocuments gives users another way to
securely interact with their documents through generative AI
without needing to transfer content into another platform. This is
another example of how we're committed to helping legal
professionals do their best work - with greater precision and
confidence."
ndMAX Assist also includes a Microsoft Copilot integration,
enabling users to submit queries to Copilot which can reach into
NetDocuments while respecting relevant content permissions, ethical
walls, and other organization-specific security measures, when
generating a response.
Additional AI Capabilities – including Semantic Search – on the
Horizon
The NetDocuments Company Update at ILTACON showcased several
upcoming enhancements for the ndMAX AI and automation portfolio.
Jill Schornack, Vice President of
Product, NetDocuments, discussed the immediate roadmap for ndMAX
Assist and PatternBuilder MAX, highlighting features such as
specialized agents for common tasks like contract analysis and
review, automated document classification, and the ability to
initiate any PatternBuilder MAX automation from the ndMAX Assist
agent.
Additionally, as announced at the ILTACON G100 (top 100 law firm
CIO program), NetDocuments will bring semantic search capabilities
to its platform in the first half of 2025. "We believe this is a
critical capability for helping customers search their content more
effectively, moving beyond keywords to true natural language search
and returning the results that legal professionals expect," said
Dan Hauck, Chief Product Officer,
NetDocuments, noting that more information will be shared at their
upcoming user conference, Inspire, in October.
Unifying the Experience Across the Microsoft and NetDocuments
Platforms
ILTACON 2024 conference attendees are also getting an early preview
of the next-generation NetDocuments experience. Atticus,
NetDocuments' new design system based on Microsoft's Fluent
framework, enhances the user experience across the platform. The
consistent design between NetDocuments and Microsoft applications
offers significant benefits, including faster and easier adoption
for new users. NetDocuments users can complete tasks with minimal
guidance, leveraging their familiarity with Microsoft
applications.
Some of the recently enhanced next-generation experiences
include:
- ChatLink for collaboration in Microsoft
Teams;
- ndMail for email filing and document
sharing in all versions of Outlook, including Microsoft 365 (the
"new Outlook");
- Microsoft Word add-in to enable easy
access to document automation capabilities, expanding to include
core document management in the coming months.
As announced in May, NetDocuments will also be adding desktop
coauthoring to the platform, allowing users to easily collaborate
on documents using popular Microsoft Office applications like Word,
Excel and PowerPoint.
"From AI-powered solutions within ndMAX to the daily experiences
of users working across Microsoft 365 and NetDocuments, our
strategy focuses on removing barriers and creating more consistent,
intuitive experiences. This enables legal professionals to complete
routine tasks more quickly, tackle complex work more effectively,
and explore new, more efficient ways of working. As a result,
lawyers can deliver superior value to clients and stakeholders,"
added Schornack.
