Relativity’s expanding family of aiR products gives legal teams powerful capabilities across review, privilege, investigations, and case strategy. Access to generative AI does not automatically create a better discovery process. The value comes from knowing which capabilities to deploy, against which data, at what point in the matter, and with what controls and human oversight.

That’s where Lineal’s services (powered by Amplify™) make the difference.

RelativityOne provides the platform and a variety of AI tools under its aiR capabilities. Amplify brings together Lineal’s technology, workflows, intelligence, and automation. Lineal’s consultants, project managers, review professionals, and subject matter experts design, operate, validate, and continuously improve the resulting workflows.

The objective is not simply to use more AI. It is to use AI intelligently, applying the right technology to the right data at the right time while maintaining the quality, defensibility, and human judgment that complex legal matters demand.

The aiR Portfolio at a Glance

AI Is Most Powerful When It’s Part of the Workflow

Every legal matter is different. Review objectives change, privilege standards vary, data populations present different challenges, and risk tolerances depend on the circumstances of the matter.

That makes understanding the strengths and limitations of different AI capabilities critical. At the moment, no single technology is appropriate for every document, data type, or legal objective.

Lineal and Amplify help clients:

• Develop matter-specific AI strategies.
• Create effective prompts and review instructions.
• Validate AI-generated results through expert quality control.
• Optimize review workflows for speed and consistency.
• Balance automation with human legal judgment.
• Scale review operations without sacrificing defensibility.

This creates a more flexible operating model. Technology can handle repetitive analysis and large data populations, while legal professionals concentrate their expertise on ambiguity, risk, strategy, and the decisions that require judgment.

The result is not AI replacing reviewers. It is technology allowing legal expertise to be applied more deliberately.

Relativity aiR for Review

Best for: First-pass review, responsiveness determinations, issue coding, confidentiality review, and large-scale document analysis.

Relativity aiR for Review accelerates document review by evaluating documents against reviewer-defined instructions and generating coding recommendations with supporting explanations. Rather than relying exclusively on traditional document-by-document review, legal teams can use generative AI to analyze large document populations consistently against defined review criteria.

For organizations reviewing hundreds of thousands or millions of documents, this creates an opportunity to substantially reduce the manual effort associated with traditional first-pass review.

How Amplify Enhances aiR for Review

Technology is only as effective as the workflow behind it.

The review objective is not to send every document to aiR for Review, but to determine which documents require which form of analysis.

Lineal uses Amplify to help reduce, categorize, prioritize, and route data before aiR is applied. This allows generative AI to be focused on populations where it creates greatest value while reducing unnecessary processing (and consumption costs).

Lineal’s Amplify services also help legal teams develop review protocols and prompts, validate AI decisions through statistical quality control, and continuously refine workflows as matters progress. Experienced review managers and subject matter experts monitor performance, identify edge cases, and work with case teams to ensure that technology remains aligned with legal strategy.

Amplify also addresses data populations that may not be appropriate for aiR for Review. For example, Lineal uses Amplify workflows for images, removing unnecessary data from scope and helping control cost.

The result is not simply faster AI review. It is a more deliberate review workflow designed around the data, the legal objectives, and the economics of the matter.

Relativity aiR for Privilege

Best for: Identifying potentially privileged content, privilege log preparation, and quality control.

Privilege review demands precision. It also presents an area where applying the same process indiscriminately across an entire document population can create unnecessary cost and effort.

Relativity aiR for Privilege assists reviewers by identifying potentially privileged content and supporting privilege analysis. The technology can provide descriptions of potentially privileged material, citations to relevant content within documents, and the rationale supporting its analysis. These capabilities can also support the preparation of privilege logs.

How Amplify Enhances Privilege Review

Amplify enables Lineal to take a layered approach to privilege rather than applying a single technology across the entire document population.

Amplify Priv Finder can be deployed early in the workflow to identify potentially privileged actors and relationships within the dataset. That intelligence can help inform privilege criteria and provide reviewers with useful context before substantive review begins. This is particularly helpful for jurisdictions outside the USA, where privilege rules can be construed differently.

Because Priv Finder is available as part of Amplify without an additional per-document charge, it can be applied broadly before more targeted use of consumption-based AI capabilities.

As review progresses, privilege decisions and other intelligence can further refine the population requiring additional analysis.

Following substantive review, aiR for Privilege can then be applied to a more targeted document population. It can help identify potential privilege issues, support quality control, assist with privilege log preparation, and facilitate redaction workflows.

The result is a layered privilege process in which Amplify and aiR for Privilege perform different but complementary roles. Rather than choosing one technology over another, Lineal designs the workflow around where each capability can create the greatest value.

Relativity aiR for Case Strategy

Best for: Investigation support, timeline development, witness statement, deposition, and cross-examination preparation, and fact analysis.

Understanding a case is often more difficult than locating documents.

Legal teams may have access to enormous volumes of potentially relevant information but still need to determine what happened, when it happened, who was involved, and which evidence supports or contradicts competing narratives.

aiR for Case Strategy helps legal teams synthesize information by identifying important events and communications, developing timelines, and accelerating the process of understanding the factual record.

How Amplify Enhances Case Strategy

The quality of AI-assisted case analysis depends heavily on the quality and context of the information being analyzed. Amplify helps Lineal prepare, organize, enrich, and contextualize data so that legal teams can make more effective use of aiR for Case Strategy.

Lineal consultants and review professionals can work with case teams to validate findings, connect related evidence, identify investigative gaps, and organize information around the issues that matter to the legal strategy.

Amplify workflows can also support prompt development and refinement. Tools such as Snippets can help identify relevant language and contextual information within the dataset, providing additional intelligence that can inform how questions are framed and how information is categorized.

This creates a feedback loop between the underlying data, the AI analysis, and the legal professionals evaluating the results.

The goal is not simply to generate more summaries. It is to turn large and complex data populations into information that lawyers can use to understand the matter and make better strategic decisions.

Relativity aiR Assist

Best for: Early case intelligence, investigations, running queries over the data, and fact finding.

Relativity’s aiR Assist provides a conversational interface for interrogating document collections using natural-language prompts. It can help legal teams explore large populations of information (up to five indexes of up to 300,000 documents) and more quickly surface important people, relationships, events, communications, and facts.

That can make conversational AI particularly valuable during early case assessment and investigations, when legal teams are still determining what questions they need to ask.

How Amplify Enhances the Process

Conversational AI is only as useful as the information available for it to interrogate.

Rather than treating data preparation as a purely technical exercise, Lineal uses Amplify to help create purposeful data populations around particular issues, custodians, events, or investigative questions before those populations are analyzed with aiR Assist.

Amplify can help cull, categorize, and curate data so that the populations presented to aiR Assist are more closely aligned with the questions the legal teams are trying to answer.

Where technical limits apply to the size or configuration of searchable populations, Lineal can also use Amplify workflows to create targeted datasets and workspaces appropriate to particular issues within the matter.

Data curation becomes part of the investigative strategy rather than simply a response to a technical constraint.

The result is a more focused conversational AI workflow designed to help legal teams move from broad data populations toward the facts and relationships that matter.

Why the Combination Matters

The question is not which AI tool wins. It is how the right technologies, data, workflows, and legal expertise work together.

Every Relativity aiR capability can deliver value individually. But no single AI capability is appropriate for every stage of discovery, every type of data, or every legal problem.

Amplify provides the framework through which Lineal can combine Relativity aiR with other analytics, automation, data intelligence, and human expertise based on the requirements of the matter.

That means applying AI selectively rather than indiscriminately. It means reducing and organizing data before applying more expensive analysis, using specialized tools for specialized data, incorporating subject matter expertise, validating results, and continuously refining the workflow as the matter develops.

Services Powered by Amplify bring together:

• AI-enabled legal workflows
• Amplify technology and automation
• Expert consulting and implementation
• Experienced review professionals
• Prompt development and optimization
• Statistical quality control and validation
• Data curation and workflow design
• Project management
• Continuous process improvement

This is how organizations move beyond simply having access to AI and begin operationalizing it.

Rather than asking legal teams to adapt their matters to the technology, Lineal designs workflows around the client’s objectives, data, legal standards, budget, and risk profile.

From AI Products to AI-Enabled Workflows

The future of eDiscovery is not about replacing people with AI. Nor is it about adopting every new AI capability simply because it is available.

It is about combining increasingly powerful technology with better data, smarter workflows, appropriate controls, and experienced legal judgment.

Relativity provides an expanding portfolio of AI capabilities within RelativityOne. Lineal brings those capabilities together with Amplify technology, workflow design, data expertise, validation, and experienced professionals to create an operating model around them.

Together, these capabilities can help legal teams reduce unnecessary review, surface important information earlier, improve consistency, control cost, and apply human expertise where it matters most.

As AI becomes a standard component of modern discovery, access to the technology is becoming less differentiating. The advantage will increasingly come from how effectively organizations put it to work.
