Legal AI OS — research engine

Descrybe Integration

Legal research stops being a thing you go do. It becomes a thing that happens before you look.

01

Executive Summary

What we built
with Descrybe
Engine Descrybe is now the research engine of Legal AI OS. The platform’s research layer.
Early Every new matter arrives with Descrybe’s case law and statutes already surfaced — matched to its jurisdiction and practice area — before anyone reviews it. The research is finished before a human thinks to ask for it.
Check Citation checking that actually checks. Drop in a cite and the exact wording, and Descrybe confirms the quote appears where you say it does. No hallucinated cases. No garbled cites.
Why Descrybe makes
the platform stronger
1 Structured primary law. Real, resolvable authorities a lawyer can stand behind.
2 Research happens before review. The platform hands a lawyer a brief.
3 Everything Descrybe returns lands on the permanent audit trail. When the client or the court asks “why did you cite this,” the answer is one query away.

What I Built

Four pieces. Each one fits the existing governance contract.

The research
connection
Links the platform to Descrybe. Searches case law, statutes, and regulations, then brings results back in one consistent form. Each public-law question is answered once and reused.
Automatic matter
research
Turns what a matter already knows — its jurisdiction, practice area, and the parties involved — into a set of searches. Runs before anyone reviews it. Never slows the intake down.
Three things a
lawyer can do
Run a research query. Verify a citation. Enrich an existing matter. Registered as the platform’s ninth function.
A permanent
record
Keeps track of every query and every result. Public law is shared and reused; the matter’s private details stay private (ABA Model Rule 1.6).

What you get

Research woven into the workflow.

Research before review
Matters arrive with authority
A new matter lands with controlling case law and governing statutes already surfaced from its own jurisdiction and practice area. The partner reviews a brief.
Citations that check themselves
Verify the quote, not just the cite
Drop a citation and the exact language. The system resolves it against Descrybe’s corpus and tells you whether the words actually appear where you say they do.
Every query provable
The audit trail is the product
Every research call is captured — what was asked, what came back, what it cost. When the client asks why you cited something, the answer is one query away.
