The 13 tools here split into three kinds. Six turn deposition transcripts into summaries: Parrot by Filevine at $30/summary per its Clio listing; SmartDepo at $85 each for one to nine summaries, or $99/user/mo plus $25 flat/summary on its platform plan; and four services from court reporting companies, all priced by quote: Esquire Intelligent Summary+, Lexitas Deposition Insights, Veritext Smart Summary and Steno Transcript Genius, which comes with every Steno deposition at no additional charge. Three are court and judge analytics: Trellis posts state trial court Research at $140.00/mo (billed $1,344.00/yr) and Research and Judge Analytics at $210.00/mo; Docket Alarm has a free tier of five actions a week, Pay-As-You-Go at $39.99/mo and a Flat-Fee plan at $99 per user/month; Lex Machina is priced by quote. Four are case-prep and drafting tools: Casefleet builds the fact chronology from $30 per user/month, or $140 per user/month with Casey, its AI assistant; Everchron keeps the chronology, witness profiles and transcripts in one workspace, by quote; Clearbrief cite-checks a brief inside Word at $300/user/mo; and Briefpoint drafts discovery requests and responses at $150/attorney/mo billed annually.
Across the set the AI reads a transcript or a record and produces the page/line summary, the key admissions, the chronology or the draft: deposition summaries hyperlinked to the transcript, proposed facts for the chronology that a lawyer approves, cite-checks against the authority and the record, objection-ready discovery responses in the jurisdiction's format, and plain-English answers about a judge, a case or an opponent drawn from the docket. Seven of the 13 post a price, from a free tier and $30/summary to $300/user/mo, and six are quoted; every figure was read on the vendor's own site on October 31, 2026. Seven of the 13 vendors post that client data is not used to train their AI models and name a standard: Briefpoint, Clearbrief, Esquire Intelligent Summary+, Parrot by Filevine, SmartDepo and Steno Transcript Genius name SOC 2 Type II, and Lexitas Deposition Insights names HIPAA and SOC 2; Everchron and Trellis post a SOC 2 Type II statement but no statement about training. Briefpoint, Clearbrief, Docket Alarm and Parrot by Filevine list Clio as an integration, Briefpoint and Clearbrief list MyCase, and Briefpoint also lists Smokeball.
