We have successfully deployed multiple conversational AI agents with understanding rates above 70%. Founded by Bria Corham and Paul Manley, Datagnome builds custom conversational AI tools for law firms, drawing on years of legal industry experience that includes work with clients such as Saul Ewing and Nelson Mullins.
Building an effective legal AI assistant is not simply a technical exercise. It requires knowing which questions to ask, which knowledge sources to prioritize, which workflows create the most value, and how attorneys and staff actually look for answers. Because Datagnome has spent years gathering the questions, patterns, and implementation knowledge that make these tools successful, each project starts with a practical understanding of use cases and common firm needs rather than a blank slate. This helps firms move faster and avoid the early-stage gap many AI projects face, where tools never learn enough about the work to be trusted or widely adopted.
The result is a chat- and/or voice-based assistant built specifically for the firm and designed around the way its people work. Attorneys and staff can ask questions in natural language and get answers drawn from trusted internal sources and expertise that would otherwise be scattered across systems or dependent on finding the right person at the right time. The assistants can support knowledge retrieval, workflow guidance, task automation, onboarding, internal help desks, and practice support.
Law firms hold valuable knowledge in many places: document management systems, research archives, billing guidelines, internal policies, HR/IT knowledge, client preferences, workflow tools, and practice-specific databases. But some of the most important knowledge does not live neatly in a repository. It lives in the heads of subject matter experts, practice leaders, experienced attorneys, and the professional staff who know how the firm really works. Datagnome connects a firm's documents, systems, and data with the expertise of its people, capturing both the documented information and the unwritten know-how that attorneys and staff rely on every day.
Datagnome works as a custom legal technology development partner, not an off-the-shelf software vendor. Each solution is designed, built, and configured for the firm's data environment, workflows, governance requirements, and adoption goals. For ILTACON attendees focused on AI strategy, knowledge management, innovation, and legal operations, Datagnome offers an approach that turns scattered documents, disconnected systems, and individual expertise into a single conversational resource -- helping firms work smarter, preserve institutional knowledge, and put their best answers within reach.
