We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in legal technology, where artificial intelligence is fundamentally reimagining the way lawyers work. The latest advancement in this evolution comes with vLex's Winter '25 release of Vincent AI, which introduces groundbreaking multimodal capabilities through the new Analyze Judicial Proceedings workflow. This innovation represents a significant leap forward in how legal professionals can process, analyze, and leverage audio and video content in their practice.

Turn Audio & Video into Actionable Legal Intelligence with Multimodal AI

The legal profession has long grappled with the challenge of efficiently extracting valuable insights from recorded proceedings. As Robin Chesterman, Global Head of Product at vLex, notes, "For many lawyers, one of their most tedious tasks involves reviewing audio and video manually to find important evidence or advantage. This unique capability frees them from this and provides new tools to improve their analysis and focus on more strategic work."

Vincent AI's cutting-edge Analyze Judicial Proceedings workflow transforms audio and video recordings into comprehensive, analyzable content. Powered by vLex's vast library of over one billion legal documents, this specialized solution delivers precise, citation-backed insights for litigation strategy and beyond.

Key Capabilities

The multimodal functionality of Vincent AI brings several transformative capabilities to legal professionals:

• Instant Transcription: Convert court proceedings, hearings, and legal meetings from MP3, MP4, or MKV formats into searchable text
• Deep Legal Analysis: Extract key arguments, identify cited precedents, and generate strategic insights automatically
• Confidence Through Authority: Get accurate precedent identification and analysis backed by vLex's extensive legal database
• Streamlined Workflow Integration: Seamlessly fits into your existing legal research and case preparation process

As vLex CEO Lluís Faus emphasizes, "The power of data is only as strong as its relevancy and the ability to interpret and harness it. The new multimodal AI feature enables unprecedented efficiency in analyzing audio and video data to inform Vincent AI's suggestions and workflows."

Engineered for Legal Professionals

This new functionality is specifically designed for litigators, appellate attorneys, and legal researchers who need to:

• Extract critical arguments and precedents from recorded proceedings
• Develop strategic responses based on comprehensive hearing analysis
• Save hours previously spent on manual transcription and review
• Access and analyze specific moments in proceedings without re-listening

When opposing counsel presents their arguments in a motion hearing, for example, Vincent AI transcribes the entire proceeding and extracts key legal arguments, locates cited precedents within vLex's authoritative database, generates strategic response recommendations, and provides a complete, searchable record for your team.

Enhanced Deposition Analysis: Beyond Structured Workflows

While the Analyze Judicial Proceedings workflow offers a structured approach to multimodal analysis, Vincent AI's capabilities extend beyond this specific workflow. Users can now upload audio and video files directly into Vincent AI's chat interface, bringing multimodal intelligence to any conversation with the system.

The Analyze a Deposition workflow, a long-standing, popular feature of Vincent AI, has received a significant upgrade through these multimodal capabilities. Legal professionals can now analyze hours of depositions and witness testimony in minutes, more efficiently uncover strengths and weaknesses in key legal arguments, discover opportunities to impeach witnesses from reviewing videos, and achieve superior outcomes for their clients.

This enhancement dramatically reduces the time spent on reviewing deposition recordings while increasing the depth and quality of the analysis. Vincent AI can identify inconsistencies, highlight key admissions, and even suggest follow-up questions that could strengthen your case.

Reimagining Traditional Legal Workflows

The implications of Vincent AI's multimodal capabilities extend far beyond court proceedings and depositions. Consider the potential for transforming client interactions: intake calls, strategy sessions, and client meetings that are recorded can now be instantly transformed into searchable transcripts with AI-powered insights.

For instance, after a client consultation, Vincent AI can provide:

• A complete transcript of the conversation
• Instant insights into the legal issues discussed
• Relevant laws and precedents applicable to the client's situation
• Suggested next steps and research pathways
• Ready-to-use prompts that help you leverage Vincent AI for deeper analysis

This new functionality turns every recorded conversation into a structured, analyzable legal document, eliminating the need for extensive note-taking and reducing the risk of overlooking critical details.

Ready to Transform Your Legal Workflows?

We stand at the threshold of a new era in legal practice, where the boundaries between different types of legal information—whether text, audio, or video—are dissolving through the power of multimodal AI. Vincent AI's Winter '25 release represents a significant step in this transformation, offering legal professionals unprecedented tools to extract meaning and value from all forms of legal communication.
