Merlin Unveils Document Intelligence Platform - Alchemy

Merlin Search Technologies (Merlin), a leader in AI-powered legal discovery, is set to launch Alchemy, a revolutionary fourth-generation document intelligence platform designed to turn unstructured information into actionable intelligence. This new platform represents a fundamental reimagining of how legal teams interact with complex document sets in investigations and discovery.

Alchemy transforms how legal teams interact with complex document sets by combining architectural improvements, expanded analytical capacity, user-centred design, and unprecedented cost transparency.

“While other vendors struggle with basic GenAI implementation, we are delivering a fourth-generation platform that fundamentally reimagines document intelligence,” added Dr. William Webber, Merlin’s Chief Data Scientist. “Alchemy represents our commitment to continuous innovation that delivers genuine value to legal professionals.”

Key Innovations in Alchemy: 

Merlin’s fourth-generation Generative AI offering, renamed Alchemy to represent the end stage of our journey, introduces five critical enhancements that collectively redefine what’s possible for large-scale investigations and discovery efforts.

• Revolutionary Dual-Window Architecture: Creates clean separation between analysis prompts and formatting instructions, delivering superior analytical accuracy. 
• Comprehensive Document Intelligence: Breaks free from arbitrary document limitations, providing full reporting across all analysed documents, powered by Claude Sonnet-3.7 and GPT-4.03 Mini.
• Precision-Guided Follow-Up Intelligence: Gives users explicit control over query scope with clear options for follow-up questions, including the groundbreaking ‘Conversation Only’ option that reduces token usage while improving report quality. 
• Limitless Document Analysis: Eliminates previous document limitations for extended analysis with consistent controls across new and extended topic requests. 
• Industry-First Cost Transparency: Introduces real-time Large Language Modelling (LLM) cost estimation before running queries, addressing concerns about GenAI expenses with transparent pricing.
