Understanding AI Enrichment in Nuix Neo Discover

What is AI Enrichment?

AI Enrichment is a feature in Nuix Neo Discover that uses Cognitive AI models to automatically classify documents, identify topics, detect entities, and apply advanced analytics. It does not change your documents—it adds “smart tags” that make searching and reviewing faster and more accurate.

With over 340 topics, 200 record types, and 65 entity types, AI Enrichment helps legal teams organize large volumes of data efficiently.

Why is AI Enrichment Valuable for Lawyers?

• Speeds Up Document Review: Automatically categorizes documents by topic and record type, reducing manual effort.
• Identifies Sensitive Information: Detects personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers, Passport Numbers, and Bank Account Numbers.
• Improves Accuracy and Reduces Risk: Uses pre-built, eDiscovery-tuned models for high-confidence classification and entity extraction.
• Enables Early Case Assessment: Provides topic categorization and sentiment analysis to support strategic decisions early in the process.
• Supports Predictive Coding and Automation: Integrates with predictive coding templates to prioritize relevant documents.
• Enhances Defensibility: Built on Responsible AI principles—Explainability, Accessibility, Specificity, Fairness, and Safety—ensuring defensible workflows.
