Onit, the leading provider of legal workflow solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Catalyst Virtual Assistant for Legal Operations within OnitX, a workflow automation platform for sophisticated, legal-related business processes. Legal professionals can now use natural language chat to access a new, powerful level of intelligence enabled by generative AI that simplifies and automates everyday legal tasks from within their most-used productivity software — Microsoft Outlook.
“The continuous and rising demand on legal teams as the protector of the business has brought significant challenges for operational scalability. Our objective with Onit Catalyst Virtual Assistant for Legal Operations was simple —leverage the strength of generative AI to make relevant information easily accessible so the best action can be taken quickly,” said Mary Fuzat, Onit Senior Vice President of Product. “With Catalyst Virtual Assistant, the power of insights from the OnitX platform is brought right to a user’s desktop in Microsoft Outlook.”
The OnitX plugin for Microsoft Outlook has been enhanced with Catalyst Virtual Assistant to serve as a “bridge” to the new generative AI capability now built into OnitX. Users can more easily collaborate with workflows that provide compliance and control over legal processes, access information stored across different OnitX applications, and minimize time spent on mundane tasks.
“We initially introduced the Onit Catalyst Virtual Assistant last fall to serve as a digital contract paralegal that reviews and edits contracts on Legal’s behalf,” said Nick Whitehouse, Managing Director of Onit’s AI Center of Excellence. “The Onit Catalyst Virtual Assistant for Legal Ops is the continuation of our strategy to build meaningful AI into workflows – automating a huge number of legal tasks and scaling knowledge across legal organizations in a controlled and impactful way. These virtual assistants demonstrate how the OnitX platform is at the forefront of this new era of AI-augmented work.”
