DISCO Launches New Agentic AI Tool for Legal Work
DISCO launches industry's first scaled agentic AI for eDiscovery, bringing autonomous reasoning to millions of legal documents.
DISCO, a leader in AI-powered legal technology, has announced the launch of the industry's first scaled agentic AI tool designed specifically for fact investigation and electronic discovery (eDiscovery).
This move is basically an enhancement to the company’s existing Cecilia Q&A platform, introducing an autonomous, multi-step reasoning engine capable of navigating large-scale legal matters.
Unlike previous iterations of legal AI that often struggled with volume, this new tool is explicitly architected to handle environments containing millions of documents and terabytes of data.
While traditional generative AI tools can summarize distinct documents or answer simple queries, DISCO’s new agentic capability employs multi-step reasoning to autonomously navigate complex datasets.
It does not merely retrieve information, it reasons through problems, connects disparate pieces of evidence, and returns detailed, thorough results even when queried against massive data repositories.
This development stands in stark contrast to many current legal AI tools, which are frequently limited to narrower, bounded tasks such as contract review or brief writing. DISCO’s approach targets fact investigation across entire case files.
"While much of the industry is focused on narrow agentic AI applications for tasks like contract review or brief writing, DISCO is transforming the way legal work is done by applying agentic power at scale to the world's largest and most complex legal matters," said DISCO CEO Eric Friedrichsen.
Friedrichsen also said that this technology is designed to transform document review from a "tick-the-box exercise into a critical part of litigation case strategy," allowing legal teams to identify crucial narratives and evidence patterns far earlier in the litigation lifecycle.
Capabilities and Infrastructure
Richard Crum, DISCO’s Chief Product, Technology, and Strategy Officer, notes that the solution leverages years of infrastructure development tailored for real-world legal use cases.
The tool is built upon DISCO’s cloud-native platform, ensuring it inherits the strict security, privacy, and compliance standards required by global law firms and corporate legal departments.
The system is specifically engineered for the large, complex eDiscovery environments that make up modern high-stakes litigation.
Rather than functioning as a simple chatbot, the agentic tool acts as a force multiplier for legal teams, supported by DISCO’s internal teams of AI, eDiscovery, and litigation experts who ensure the technology aligns with practical legal workflows.
This launch is the latest milestone in the rollout of DISCO’s broader Cecilia AI platform, which has seen rapid expansion over the past 18 months.
The ecosystem already includes Cecilia Auto Review, a tool that enables automated document review at unprecedented speeds of up to 32,000 documents per hour, and Cecilia Definitions for advanced text analysis.
DISCO reported that customer adoption of the Cecilia AI platform grew by over 300% between September 30, 2024, and the end of the year.
Financially, this adoption is translating into growth. In its Q3 2025 results, the company reported total revenue of $40.9 million, a 13% increase year-over-year, with software revenue specifically climbing 17% to reach $35.2 million.
Business Momentum and Positioning
Under the leadership of CEO Eric Friedrichsen, who took the helm in April 2024, the company has pursued a strategic transformation focused on "customer-centric" development. This strategy prioritizes high-value, complex litigation matters where technology can offer the greatest competitive advantage.
Research released in October 2025 indicates that 72% of legal professionals expect to adopt generative AI within the next 12 months, with 35% already utilizing such tools. However, security concerns remain the top barrier to adoption.
DISCO has confirmed that the new scaled agentic AI tool will be made widely available later in 2026. The capability will be included at no additional cost to existing customers, reinforcing the value proposition of the Cecilia platform. The company is currently demonstrating the tool at the Legalweek conference.
Momentum continues to build for the company, which was recently named a G2 2025 award winner in the "Best Legal Software Products" category. Additionally, DISCO has expanded its market reach through a strategic partnership with Mourant, a professional services firm, to provide enhanced eDiscovery services to financial services clients.
