Why Matter Intelligence Has a Gradient (And Why It Matters)

Dec 10, 2025

It's 9 p.m. You're deep in document review. You need that AI feature. The one that helped last week.


Where was it again? Three menus deep? Hidden in a dropdown? You click through your interface, searching for the tool that's supposed to be searching for you.


This is the problem with most legal AI. The technology works. But finding it doesn't.


Design as Wayfinding


We built Matter Intelligence with a different philosophy: if you can't find the AI, it might as well not exist.


Every Matter Intelligence touchpoint in Fileread carries the same distinctive gradient. Purple flowing into blue, instantly recognizable across the platform. You see it once in document review, you know exactly where to look in search. No hunting. No second-guessing.


"People shouldn't have to search for AI that's supposed to be searching for them," explains Eddie Montenegro, Head of Product & Design at Fileread. "The gradient is our way of saying 'Matter Intelligence is here' the moment you need it."


But the gradient does more than help you navigate.



A Visual Philosophy


The gradient was designed to represent the living, evolving nature of litigation itself.


Your case on Monday isn't your case on Friday. Breach of contract becomes fraud. Discovery becomes summary judgment. Witness testimony changes your theory. New evidence shifts your strategy.


Nothing in litigation stays static. Your AI shouldn't either.


Matter Intelligence evolves with your case, adapting its understanding as new filings come in, as claims shift, as your litigation posture changes. The gradient, flowing seamlessly from one color to the next, reflects that constant evolution.


It's both wayfinding and philosophy. Find the feature instantly. Watch it adapt continuously.


Intelligence You Can See


The gradient also signals something important: Fileread's AI expertise. We didn't build another keyword search tool with an AI label slapped on. We built intelligence that genuinely understands context, adapts to change, and grows with every document you upload.


The gradient tells you where to find that intelligence. And what to expect when you do.


When you're working late and need answers fast, you won't waste time hunting through menus. You'll see the gradient and know: Matter Intelligence is ready.
