US: Relativity Unveils claiR Conversational AI for Lawyers with Immediate Access to Matter Data

• Relativity has announced Relativity claiR, a conversational AI interface for lawyers.
• claiR allows lawyers to ask plain-language questions and receive answers with citations to the underlying record.
• The product is part of Relativity's suite of generative AI capabilities, which includes aiR Assist.
• claiR builds on the foundation of aiR Assist by extending it to the full depth of a matter, including metadata and connections among documents.
• The product will be generally available in early next year through Relativity's Advanced Access program.

According to Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity, claiR represents a fundamentally new way for lawyers to access the answers in their most critical legal data.

Relativity has unveiled Relativity claiR, a conversational AI interface designed specifically for lawyers. This innovative tool allows lawyers to ask plain-language questions across an entire RelativityOne matter and receive answers with citations to the underlying record. According to Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity, claiR represents a fundamentally new way for lawyers to access the answers in their most critical legal data.

The product is part of Relativity's suite of generative AI capabilities, which includes aiR Assist, a conversational, natural-language tool that searches across documents within a matter and returns cited answers. However, claiR builds on this foundation by extending it to the full depth of a matter, including metadata and connections among documents.

One of the key differentiators of claiR is its ability to run on data already stored in RelativityOne, eliminating the need for customers to move sensitive material into a separate AI environment. This approach not only streamlines workflows but also addresses security and defensibility concerns associated with competitors' methods.

The release of claiR is the latest development in Relativity's ongoing efforts to integrate generative AI into its e-discovery platform. Over the past two years, the company has released a series of products under the 'aiR' moniker, including aiR Assist, which was made generally available in June 2026. These tools have been designed to enhance review, privilege, and other workflows with conversational, natural-language capabilities.

The integration of generative AI in e-discovery has significant implications for lawyers and their clients. By providing direct access to matter data and cited answers, claiR promises to give lawyers more complete access to the facts and insights that judgment depends on. This could potentially reduce reliance on technical teams and streamline workflows.

The release of claiR marks a significant step forward in the integration of conversational AI into legal workflows. By providing lawyers with direct access to matter data and cited answers, this tool has the potential to revolutionize the way lawyers work.

According to Chris Brown, Chief Product Officer of Relativity, 'claiR doesn't replace legal judgment; it gives lawyers more complete access to the facts and insights that judgment depends on.' This approach not only streamlines workflows but also addresses security and defensibility concerns associated with competitors' methods. As one of the Advanced Access participants noted, claiR provides powerful, auditable AI analysis to help lawyers in their day-to-day work.

Lawyers should watch for the upcoming release of Relativity claiR, a conversational AI interface that promises to give them direct access to matter data and cited answers, potentially streamlining their work and reducing reliance on technical teams.
