Matter Intelligence: Case Understanding That Thinks for Itself


Legal teams spend countless hours trying to figure out what questions to ask their documents. With Matter Intelligence, Fileread's latest feature, that changes. The system understands your case and generates relevant queries on its own.


"Matter Intelligence has contextual understanding of your case so it can generate its own queries based on the case," explains Wilfred Lai, Product Manager at Fileread. The feature represents a significant shift in how legal teams interact with their documents, moving from manual query construction to intelligent, automated analysis.


How It Works


The process starts when you upload a statement of facts or other case documents. Matter Intelligence immediately analyzes the content, generating a comprehensive summary while identifying core themes across your materials. Each theme can be expanded to reveal detailed insights, making it simple to bring team members up to speed on complex cases.


The real power comes in the query generation. When you open an Insight topic and activate case context, Matter Intelligence presents suggested queries tailored to the relevant themes it identified in your documents. You can select any suggested query, copy it, and run it immediately.


"This eliminates the need to do prompt engineering that we understand not everyone is familiar with, and we can quickly get you started from zero to one," Lai notes. The feature effectively removes the technical barrier that often prevents legal professionals from fully leveraging AI document analysis.



Matter Intelligence integrates seamlessly into existing Fileread workflows. Results generated using the feature include purple icons indicating case context is active, and every finding includes citations with direct links to source documents. This maintains the documentation standards legal teams require while accelerating the research process.


The feature was helmed by Eddie Montenegro, Director of Product and Design at Fileread, whose vision centered on making AI document analysis accessible without requiring technical expertise. By understanding case context and proactively suggesting relevant queries, Matter Intelligence transforms how litigation teams approach document review.


For legal professionals managing complex cases with thousands of documents, Matter Intelligence offers a straightforward solution: upload your materials, review the generated themes and queries, and start getting answers without wrestling with prompt construction. The system handles the complexity so teams can focus on the legal analysis that matters.
