Global legal technology provider Thomson Reuters has expanded the capabilities of its GenAI assistant, allowing users to find and utilise content across various sources simultaneously.
Thomson Reuters has launched CoCounsel Knowledge Search, a new capability within CoCounsel, its professional-grade generative AI (GenAI) assistant, which enables users to search across document management systems, Thomson Reuters content, and third-party sources all at once.
Knowledge Search delivers a unified search experience using professional-grade AI and addresses challenges around scattered documents across multiple systems, enabling users to efficiently search, access, and manage content across their organisation from multiple repositories.
This news comes after the provider launched the next generation of CoCounsel in five different markets, including Australia, earlier this year. Thomson Reuters also recently completed its $6.5 million acquisition of TimeBase, a provider of legislative solutions in Australia, earlier this month.
Designed to streamline workflows, CoCounsel Knowledge Search can access content from HighQ, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, OneDrive, Thomson Reuters content from Westlaw and Practical Law, as well as third-party sources.
CoCounsel Knowledge Search also keeps the data within the customer’s domain to ensure security and compliance standards are met – and the capability will also add enhancements, including agentic search to enable users to ask interpretive questions directly within the CoCounsel chat interface, according to Rawia Ashraf, head of product, CoCounsel transactional and corporates.
“Customer centricity is a value Thomson Reuters lives and breathes, and our integrated solution directly answers the evolving needs of legal professionals,” she said.
“With CoCounsel Knowledge Search, users can search where they are currently working in CoCounsel, alleviating the necessity to search their various document management systems, find and download documents, and then move them to the required portal. Knowledge Search looks across a user’s various repositories, finds the relevant documents, surfaces insights and answers, and connects to key applications to streamline the workflow.”
Knowledge Search will be available within productivity tools from Thomson Reuters as well as Microsoft’s ecosystem.
