Legal consulting and eDiscovery provider Consilio today (18 September) announced the launch of Guided AI Review; a technology + services offering for customers that want to use AI tools but are concerned about inaccuracies. The locally-hosted solution combines custom algorithms with AI-trained document review experts.
“For the past two years, we’ve seen firsthand that AI solutions in the legal industry are best when built on a foundation of human expertise,” said Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio. “It’s not just about leveraging technology – it’s about ensuring accuracy, ethics, and trust. With the continued exponential growth of data volumes and growing complexity in legal matters, we believe the intersection of AI and human oversight is the future of legal reviews. Our Guided AI Review solution provides exactly that for Fortune 500 legal departments and leading law firms.”
Key features of Guided AI Review include ‘AI Guides’ (the human review professionals who average over eight years of experience); QC methodology; customised AI engines; and private infrastructure.
“Our Guided AI Review addresses the trust gap that has long existed in AI solutions,” said Raj Chandrasekar, chief technology and innovation officer at Consilio. “After extensive development, this offering exemplifies the perfect blend of human and AI collaboration, delivering efficiency without compromising accuracy—an essential requirement for today’s legal practices.”
Also this week, US-headquartered eDiscovery leader Reveal announced the introduction of Logikcull’s cloud-based eDiscovery solution to the European legal market.
Logikcull was founded in San Francisco and acquired by Reveal last year. Wendell Jisa, founder & CEO of Reveal, said: “In less than a year since our acquisition of Logikcull, I’m proud that our strategic investment in Logikcull has taken the platform from a national success story to now a global one.
“Our Logikcull platform offers unparalleled accessibility to a variety of eDiscovery tools, while our Reveal enterprise-grade platform, driven by powerful AI, tackles even the most complex legal matters. Together, we’re offering legal teams the most adaptable and scalable technology solutions for managing their evolving eDiscovery needs.”
Reveal offers any business – whether small or large – access to its self-service AI-powered solutions. It says this launch better-positions EMEA organisations to manage and solve legal challenges such as Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, while ensuring compliance with regional GDPR and data privacy regulations.

And last but not least, Kira Systems spin off Zuva this week officially launched their new AI contract review tool Analyze, which is designed to accelerate how in-house legal teams review contracts leveraging existing tech and Gen AI.
Zuva was co-founded by Noah Waisberg and Alexander Hudek, the founders of Kira Systems, which sold to Litera in 2021.
Zuva was allowed to retain the underlying technology and while it is prohibited from selling to law firms until 2026, that doesn’t apply to corporate legal teams.
Zuva sells access to its AI review technology through an API and speaking to Legal IT Insider, Waisberg said: “The API is good and organisations including IBM and Microsoft are using it but we think there’s more. We realised that things have changed since we sold Kira and there’s so much cool stuff you can do using a combination of existing and new technology that you couldn’t do a few years ago. Who is good at doing contract review interfaces? We are. So we thought ‘here is an opportunity’ and people have been trying it over the summer with really positive feedback.”
Analyze is able to handle large volumes of contracts (up to several thousand agreements can be dropped in) and it will pull out key terms but also provide information in a structured, tick box format. Waisberg said: “A typical Gen AI answer would say, for example, ‘The agreement cannot be assigned’ but the next one might say ‘The agreement can’t be assigned.’ We are forcing it to give structured answers because having data in a uniform way cuts down on hallucinations and it’s helpful to have structured data.”
Zuva is offering a pay-as-you-go offering, unlike many of the enterprise licensing options on the market. for more info see https://zuva.ai/
