AffiniPay Launches AffiniPay IQ, Generative AI for Legal Tech Industry

AffiniPay, the leader in online payments and software solutions for professionals, announced today the launch of generative AI embedded in its leading legal technology products, MyCase, CASEpeer, LawPay, and Docketwise.

"At AffiniPay, we believe generative AI can drive the type of efficiencies and insights that will result in better outcomes for our customers and their clients," said Dru Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer of AffiniPay, parent company of MyCase, CASEpeer, LawPay, and Docketwise. "As a trusted technology partner, we have big plans to empower our customers with AI, and are excited to announce the launch of AffiniPay IQ."

According to the newly released 2024 LawPay and MyCase Legal Industry Report, productivity is a key driver for generative AI investment, with 75% of law firms citing it as the top reason for their interest in AI. To meet this demand, AffiniPay is investing in generative AI and plans to roll out new solutions in a phased manner across the legal product suite. Starting with a MyCase beta, AffiniPay plans to extend various AI solutions to CASEpeer, LawPay, and Docketwise in the coming months.

The company's vision is that customers will be able to utilize AI-powered conversational interface that will enable users to access their data and generate insights using natural language, directly within the interface. These future features will include:

• Case and firm search: Attorneys and staff can quickly get answers to their questions around a specific case or client, saving time in their day
• Intelligent insights: Law firms can receive customized recommendations to optimize intake, productivity, cash flow, and more
• Automation: Firms can create workflows, send payments, and open files - all by interacting with the platforms in a conversational way, just like they would with a trusted assistant

The first beta release of AffiniPay IQ features include document summarization and text editing, both of which will be woven seamlessly into the suite of AffiniPay's legal products. Starting with MyCase and CASEpeer, the following AI features will be built into daily workflows:

• Document summarization: Empowers law firms to review case documents quickly using AI-generated summaries of their contents
• Text editing: AI-powered text editing embedded into the product to allow style updating, tone changes, and summarization

"We are committed to our responsible approach to innovation, and are excited to launch generative AI functionality into our software that serves our customers and their needs, and no one else," said Bryan Thompson, Chief Technology Officer of AffiniPay. "This is the first of many thoughtful generative AI features that our team will be weaving into our product suite over the coming months."

The second release of AffiniPay IQ features will include:

• Communication drafts: Attorneys and staff can quickly generate first drafts of client communications or invoice reminders
• Translations: Users can translate text into different languages instantly
• Task & event generation: Law firms can select and analyze text in notes, documents, or emails, and receive suggestions for tasks or events, saving time at every step
• Data population: Docketwise-specific AI feature that instantly extracts key information from copies of passports, drivers' licenses, and birth certificates, to automatically populate immigration SmartForms

AffiniPay invites legal professionals to experience AffiniPay IQ from Jan. 29 - Feb. 2, during Legalweek in New York, where both LawPay and MyCase are sponsors.
