Company Introduction

Descrybe delivers cutting-edge legal research technology—AI-powered citator analysis, brief checking, and plain-language case summaries—in a fast, intuitive platform. Built for depth, speed, and usability, it puts advanced legal research tools within reach of every legal professional.

Legal-Focused Offerings

Descrybe is a multi-award-winning legal tech platform that reshapes how legal professionals, students, and researchers access and understand U.S. case law. The platform combines powerful free tools with an affordable Legal Research Toolkit (LRT) that delivers professional-grade insights built for real-world research needs. At the heart of the Toolkit is the Cytator, a breakthrough AI-powered citator. Unlike traditional tools that assess treatment only at the case level, the Cytator delivers issue-level citator analysis in both directions. It shows how later courts have treated a decision, and how that decision treated the authorities it relied on, offering a fuller picture of the analytical chain behind each issue. With clear treatment indicators and binding vs. persuasive court labels, users can quickly assess the weight and reliability of any case. Other features in the Toolkit include the Brief Checker, which finds hallucinated or outdated citations in legal documents, and the Legal Issue Explorer, which reveals how similar legal questions are handled across jurisdictions. Users can search in natural language, legal terms, or Spanish and receive AI-generated summaries in both English and Spanish, all in a fast, intuitive interface.

Since launching in 2023, the platform has made over 3.6 million U.S. court opinions searchable and summarized. Coverage includes federal, state appellate, and bankruptcy courts.
