LexisNexis unveils commercial preview of AI assistant Protégé

LexisNexis Legal & Professional has announced the US commercial preview program for LexisNexis Protégé Legal AI Assistant on Lexis+ AI.

Protégé is described by LexisNexis as a private legal AI Assistant, unique to each legal professional. Personalization choices are controlled by the user or their organization.

Last month, LexisNexis acquired Henchman, which enriches data from law firms’ document management systems. Integrating Henchman’s DMS technology with LexisNexis content using its proprietary Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) 2.0 platform improves answer quality and accelerates personalized generative AI.
Protégé personalization capabilities fuel a wide set of new AI-enabled tasks. Protégé knows specifics about each user like workflow preferences, daily task requirements, firm standards, teamwork and communication styles, legal areas of specialization, and past work product. It proactively suggests subscribed LexisNexis products to provide insights and analytics.

LexisNexis is teaming up with a number of as yet unnamed Am Law 100 firms as part of the US commercial preview program.

“Our customers are at the forefront of co-developing legal generative AI technology with us by testing, providing feedback, and adopting Lexis+ AI.” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK and Ireland. “Customers guide our vision. They are ready to progress from a Legal AI Assistant built for everyone, to the next phase – a Legal AI Assistant uniquely customized and tailored for each individual legal professional.”
