Questions we get asked
Including the ones nobody emails to ask.
Do my client files leave my office?
The reading, the searching, the tagging and the drafting all happen on your own computer. We never hold a copy of a privileged file, anywhere. Case material goes out only when you ask your AI a question about the case, and then it goes to the AI company your firm has already approved — no new company to vet.
Can the AI make things up?
AI can make things up. That is real, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What CaseMate does about it is refuse to let an answer float free: every fact comes back attached to a page. Click it and you are looking at the actual scan, the sentence it relied on boxed. You never have to decide whether to believe it — you look.
Is there a per-page charge?
No. Nothing per page, nothing per search — nothing is rented, so nothing is metered. The only AI bill is the subscription you already pay for Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it does not go up because you asked four hundred questions instead of one.
What does CaseMate actually do?
It reads your case. Filings, discovery productions, medical records, boxes of scans — CaseMate turns every page of it into text you can search. When you find what you were looking for, it takes you to the page it came from. Think of it as a filing cabinet that has read everything inside it: it does not argue the case for you, it just always knows where things are.
Is CaseMate an AI?
No. CaseMate is the case file, and the toolbox your AI uses to work it. The AI is the one you already use — Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. You connect the two, and from then on your AI works inside the case file: it searches, quotes, drafts, and files what it finds. You stop copying pages into a chat box.
Can it read scans? Half of what I get is images.
That is what it was built for. Faxed exhibits, photographed records, twenty-year-old copies of copies — CaseMate reads the picture of the page and turns it into text you can search. A page too rough for the quick pass goes automatically to a slower, more careful read.
Am I too untechnical for this?
If you can drag a folder onto a window, you can run CaseMate. You point CaseMate at the folder — pick it, or drop it on the case — and the reading starts by itself. After that you search the way you would say it out loud — “brakes below minimum” — not with the connectors and asterisks you were taught for Westlaw.
What kind of computer do I need?
An ordinary laptop. Nothing new, nothing special. The 1,160-page financial disclosure in our published report was read on a three-year-old machine, and it came back as a finished, cited report in about forty minutes.
What can my AI do once it is connected?
Search the whole case and tell you what it found. Quote the record back with the page it came from. Open the scan inside the conversation so you can see it yourself. Draft from it. And file what it finds back into the case as findings, issues and claims — so its work becomes part of the file instead of scrolling out of a chat window. The connection uses MCP, an open standard, and the features page shows what a session looks like.
How do I get it?
A closed beta starts at the end of August, with a small group of small-firm litigators running real matters through it. The fastest way in is fifteen minutes on a call with the founder, watching CaseMate read a case live. Or leave your details and we will be in touch about a seat.
Still deciding?
Watch CaseMate read a case live and ask whatever this page did not cover — nothing about it is conditioned on signing up for anything.
