What is Relativity aiR?
Relativity aiR is a generative AI suite integrated directly into the RelativityOne ecosystem, designed to solve the most grueling part of litigation: the document review. Instead of relying on simple keyword searches or traditional predictive coding, aiR uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to "read" and understand the context of millions of documents. It can instantly categorize evidence, identify privileged communications, and summarize complex threads of conversation, allowing legal teams to find the "smoking gun" without manually reviewing every single email.
The platform is built for scale. It doesn't just summarize a few files; it applies a consistent reasoning logic across an entire case database. With features like "aiR for Review" and "aiR for Case Strategy," it allows attorneys to ask natural language questions about their evidence—such as "Which documents prove the defendant knew about the defect?"—and receive a curated list of documents with AI-generated explanations as to why they are relevant.
The Litigation Reality
The "catch" with Relativity aiR is that it is not a standalone product; it is an extension of RelativityOne. To use aiR, you must already be invested in the Relativity ecosystem, which is a significant commitment in terms of both cost and infrastructure. Furthermore, while the AI is incredibly fast, the "black box" nature of LLMs means that attorneys must still perform rigorous quality control (QC) sampling to ensure the AI isn't missing nuanced legal exceptions. The risk is a false sense of security—relying entirely on the AI's "Relevant" tag without a human-in-the-loop verification process.
Relativity aiR vs. Everlaw and Clearbrief
Relativity aiR is a direct competitor to Everlaw's AI capabilities. While Everlaw is often praised for its intuitive, modern user interface and "all-in-one" feel, Relativity aiR wins on sheer power and depth of integration for massive, multi-terabyte cases. Clearbrief, by contrast, is a drafting tool that happens to use discovery data; Relativity aiR is a discovery tool that prepares you for drafting. If you are in the "search and find" phase of a massive federal lawsuit, aiR is the industry heavyweight.
The Bottom Line on Value
Relativity aiR has traditionally followed a variable, per-gigabyte pricing model, though the market is shifting toward fixed-fee and "all-in" unlimited models through specific partners to eliminate cost uncertainty. The ROI is found in the massive reduction of "Reviewer Hours."
In a typical large-scale litigation, a firm might employ dozens of contract attorneys to perform a first-pass review of documents. aiR can automate a significant portion of this first pass, reducing the need for a massive review army and cutting the time-to-insight from months to days. For a firm billing thousands of dollars per hour for senior partner oversight, the cost of the AI is negligible compared to the efficiency gained.

Why Choose It?
For litigation teams handling "Big Law" volumes of data who are already using RelativityOne, aiR is the only way to maintain a competitive edge in speed and accuracy.
- Generative AI that understands legal context, not just keywords.
- Rapid identification of privileged and relevant documents at scale.
- Natural language querying to uncover case-critical evidence.
- Seamless integration into the world's most widely used eDiscovery platform.
