60% of associate time on tasks AI handles in minutes. The billable hour model is breaking.

Generative AI is a family of models that learn the statistical structure of data (text, images, audio, code, etc.) and then sample from that learned distribution to create new content. These models are typically built with deep neural architectures such as transformers, diffusion models, and GANs, and can be conditioned on prompts, examples, or structured inputs. In applications, generative models are often combined with retrieval systems, tools, and business logic to ground outputs in real data and workflows. Effective use requires careful attention to safety, reliability, governance, and alignment with domain constraints.

Canonical solution label for AI systems that review, compare, issue-spot, summarize, or extract obligations from contracts, policies, filings, or other documents using LLM/NLP analysis grounded in playbooks, checklists, retrieved evidence, or structured review criteria. Map only when document review or analysis is the primary AI product; do not map simple document templates, OCR-only ingestion, static document storage, or generic chat.

RAG-Standard (standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation) combines a language model with a retrieval layer that fetches relevant documents from a knowledge store at query time. Retrieved chunks are embedded into the model’s prompt so the LLM can ground its answers in up-to-date, domain-specific data instead of relying only on pretraining. This pattern is typically implemented as a single-turn or lightly multi-turn pipeline: embed query, retrieve top-k documents, construct a prompt, and generate an answer. It is the default architecture for enterprise Q&A, knowledge assistants, and search-style applications.
