About Casetext

Casetext's core product, CoCounsel, functions as an AI assistant that legal professionals interact with by assigning specific tasks rather than typing open-ended prompts. Users select a skill, such as document review, legal research memo, deposition preparation, or contract review, upload relevant files or describe a legal question, and CoCounsel returns organized output with citations back to source documents or case law. This task-based structure is designed to fit into existing workflows like discovery review or memo drafting rather than requiring lawyers to learn prompt engineering.

The platform highlights several named skills as distinguishing features: Document Review for flagging responsive or privileged documents across large sets, Legal Research Memo for generating research summaries with citations, Deposition Preparation for building outlines from case documents, Contract Review for identifying deviations from playbooks or missing clauses, and Contract Policy Compliance for checking documents against internal policies. Casetext also integrates with legal databases for case law and statutes, and it emphasizes that every output includes citations that can be checked against source material to reduce reliance on unverified AI-generated text.

Casetext is aimed at law firms, corporate legal departments, and individual attorneys who handle research-intensive or document-heavy matters such as litigation, contract review, and compliance work. Pricing is not publicly listed on a self-serve basis; prospective customers contact Casetext for quotes, which typically depend on firm size and usage volume. It competes with other AI legal research and drafting tools such as Harvey, Lexis+ AI, and Westlaw's AI-assisted research products.

Casetext operates as a web-based platform accessed through a browser, with document upload and review handled within its interface. It does not publish a public API for third-party integration, and it is positioned primarily as an end-user application for legal teams rather than a developer platform.
