Can your law firm relate?

"Our legal content is scattered. We don’t know what’s sitting where."

Law firms of all sizes have decades of matter files, email attachments, working drafts, and duplicate documents across disconnected legal repositories. Finding the official version of a document is time consuming, risky, and difficult to manage through naming conventions alone.

Does This Sound Familiar?

"We don't even know what we have. It's a junkyard."

This is what we hear from law firms — large and small — every week. Decades of matter files, email attachments, working drafts, and duplicate documents across disconnected systems. No naming convention. No visibility. No way to find the "official" version of anything. Just dark data that accumulates faster than anyone can address it manually.

How Shinydocs AI Search Works!

Shinydocs is software that is installed either in your cloud or on premises.  You don't put your documents in Shinydocs - it finds only the documents you tell it to find from your existing repositories such as File Shares, SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, Teams, Exchange, Box, and more — so you can search your data, just like using Google - but securely and privately on your content!

Is Shinydocs AI Search Secure and Private? 

Shinydocs AI Search respects the permissions of your underlying systems.  If a user doesn't normally have permissions to see a document, they will never find it using Search!

How does Shinydocs AI Search Create New Content?

Shinydocs AI Search finds the right documents based upon your input.  When you request Shinydocs AI Search to create something new, it gathers the right content from your existing documents as a template, and fills in the rest with what the you have asked it to create!

Comparison: Shinydocs AI vs. Cloud AI Providers

Cloud AI is Expensive and Gives You No Choice

Unlike Cloud Vendor's AI solutions that demand expensive migrations and risk of third parties stealing your IP, Shinydocs AI gives you full control while optimizing performance and cost. 

See the real cost of AI-powered data management. Traditional Cloud AI/LLM subscriptions charge per page and token, leading to skyrocketing expenses as your data grows. With Shinydocs, you pay a fixed cost—no per-token fees, no surprises.

Get Your Questions Answered: Your AI, Your Data.

Here's What You Need to Know!

We know AI and data privacy go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve built a solution that keeps you in full control—no hidden costs, no vendor lock-in, and no risk of your data training someone else’s model. Explore the FAQs below to see how Shinydocs ensures security, transparency, and cost efficiency for managing your data.

Shinydocs AI is designed with enterprise-grade security in mind. By running entirely behind your firewall, your data remains private and never leaves your infrastructure. Unlike public cloud-based AI solutions, we eliminate the risk of third-party data exposure. 

No. Shinydocs AI seamlessly integrates with your existing data repositories, including File Shares, SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, Teams, Exchange, and more without the need for costly and time-consuming data migrations. 

Shinydocs AI ensures complete data sovereignty by running AI models locally, within your infrastructure. This means your data is never shared with third-party AI providers, preventing it from being used to train external models or being stored outside your control. 

Unlike traditional AI solutions that charge per-token fees and require expensive cloud-based processing, Shinydocs AI runs on your local infrastructure. This eliminates recurring LLM costs and allows you to pay only for the compute resources you use, significantly reducing AI-related expenses. Check out our AI Cost Comparison Chart above to understand how you can save on recurring LLM costs. 

Shinydocs has done the hard work of choosing the AI models (i.e. Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, Falcon, and more.) that best fit your Content and use cases.

Microsoft Co-Pilot is limited to Microsoft-based repositories by design.  They want you to rent your data back from them while they store it. Shinydocs AI Search works across your entire Content ecosystem, including File Shares, SharePoint, Box, NetDocuments, iManage, and more.  

Shinydocs AI charges a fixed predictable subscription fee with no additional variable costs. To get a quote, we recommend booking a meeting with our AI experts. 

Yes.  You choose only the data that you trust to be made available through Shinydocs AI Search.  In fact, Shinydocs Automated Content Identification is the best way to determine what is safe to search!

Yes. Shinydocs AI is designed to work seamlessly with your existing enterprise content management (ECM) and document management systems, including File Shares, SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, Teams, Exchange, Box and more. 

Shinydocs AI Search is optimized to run on your existing IT infrastructure. It supports on-premise deployments and can leverage your current servers and computing resources. For specific technical requirements, you can visit this pre-install checklist in our help center. 

Implementation is straightforward, and most installations occur in about thirty minutes. Our team provides a seamless onboarding process, including training and support to ensure a smooth deployment. 

Traditional enterprise search provides keyword-based results and often struggles with unstructured data. Shinydocs AI Search allows for natural language questions and answers from your Content, it can even create new documents based upon your existing Content.

Cost Comparison Chart: Shinydocs AI Search vs. Cloud AI Providers 

When you use Cloud Providers - they charge per token, leading to skyrocketing expenses as your data grows.

With Shinydocs, you pay a fixed cost as you control the variables — Shinydocs has no per-token, per-API, per-page, or per-use fees, no surprises. Compare the numbers in the chart and discover how much you can save.

The Value of Modern Data Governance for Your Firm

Reduce Storage Costs by 27%

Reduce storage costs by removing low-value and redundant content from your DMS and file shares.  

On average, firms see a 27% reduction across legal deployments within 1 year.

  • Eliminate information ROT
  • Clean up duplicate content
  • Directly reduce infrastructure spend

Only Migrate the Legal Content You Need

Migrate from legacy legal repositories into iManage, NetDocuments, or cloud platforms with complete visibility into what belongs in your next DMS.

Classification and cleanup without disrupting a single active legal file. 

  • Identify high-value legal content
  • Cleaner migrations with less risk
  • Move governed content with confidence
DMS migration that doesnt fail on day one

Accelerate DSAR and eDiscovery

Respond to legal requests faster, reduce outside counsel spend, and maintain a defensible record of what was found and why.

On average, firms place 98% of content under active governance and policy.

  • Faster matter discovery
  • Lower downstream review costs
  • Defensible response workflows
DSAR and eDiscovery response at speed

Prepare Legal Content for Enterprise AI

Structured, classified content builds AI-ready legal repositories. Copilot, Contract AI, and enterprise search tools are only as effective as the content they index.

Firms report a 4.5x ROI with governed legal content

  • Improve AI accuracy
  • Reduce stale data hallucinations
  • Facilitate reliable legal outputs
AI tools that actually work on legal content

Clear 20 Years of Backlog in 12 Months

Apply retention schedules across legal content, matter files, and repositories as documents are created and filed.

Eliminate relying on fee earners or records staff to follow manual processes.

  • Automatic retention enforcement
  • Coverage across every repository
  • Policy enforcement on every document
Retention enforcement that runs itself

Reduce Risk After Matter Closure

Closed matters sitting in limbo carry ongoing liability. Automate disposition workflows to ensure closed matters are properly retained or defensibly disposed of — with audit-ready evidence for every decision.

On average, firms save $408k in the first year after deployment.

  • Govern closed matters continuously
  • Automate disposition workflows
  • Audit-ready evidence for each decision
Reduced risk in the hands-off period post-matter

Three legal teams. One data governance problem.

The operational impact of ungoverned legal data varies by department.

IT & INFRASTRUCTURE LEADERSHIP

Avoid migrating redundant legal data into new platforms

  • Inventory legal content across iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, and file shares before migration
  • Avoid the cost of migrating ROT, duplicate, and inactive data
  • AD-integrated permissions without access disruption and permission resets
  • On-prem or cloud deployment with independent post-deployment operation

 

RECORDS & INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

Enforce defensible retention across legal repositories

  • Apply retention policies automatically without manual file-by-file review
  • Organize poorly structured legal content with AI classification, without manual effort
  • Defensible matter destruction with audit trail for closed matter disposition
  • Find sensitive legal content faster for FOIA, DSAR, discovery, and regulatory requests 
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT & LEGAL OPS

Support legal AI with trusted governed content

  • Prepare governed legal content for Copilot, RAG pipelines, Contract AI, and enterprise AI
  • Reduce AI risk by flagging privileged, confidential, and regulated information (PII, PHI)
  • Find authoritative versions of legal content across repositories from a single governed interface
  • Ongoing governance preserves AI data quality after initial cleanup

"We needed to clean up before migrating to a new DMS, Shinydocs gave us a complete picture of what we actually had. We ended up migrating less than 30% of what we thought we'd need to move. The savings covered the cost of the tool many times over."

Zero Migration Disruption

Shinydocs operates inside your existing environment. Embed governance directly into existing legal repositories without disrupting workflows or large-scale content migration.

master icons [Recovered]-151

Legal-Context AI Precision

Law firms cite false positives as the primary reason projects stall. Our AI classification understands legal context, reducing false positives across sensitive data, administrative matter documents, pre-bills, HR files, and operational legal content.

Legal page logos_img-icon-step-3

Defensible Legal Content Disposal

Every disposition action is backed by a defensible audit trail. Maintain audit-ready disposition records that demonstrate proper legal content handling to regulators, clients, courts, and governance teams.

master icons [Recovered]-149

Self-Sustaining Governance

The backlog never re-accumulates. Shinydocs works in the background, classifying new legal content as it enters your systems. This is the difference between one-time cleanup and long-term governance.

master icons [Recovered]-151

Unified Search Across Systems

Your team finds the authoritative version of a document in seconds. Federated search across iManage, SharePoint, file shares, and connected legal repositories eliminates time spent searching through outdated or superseded files.

Legal page logos_img-icon-step-3

Independently Operable

You stay in control without relying on vendor-managed workflows. Adapt governance workflows, policies, and repository rules internally as your firm’s needs evolve. Your firm defines how governance rules are structured, applied, and updated.

Let's talk about pricing for your firm.

We don’t publish rate cards because a 10-attorney boutique firm has very different governance needs than a global firm managing 50TB across multiple repositories.

Pricing is built around data volume (TB), and professional services scoped to your environment.

Here's what you can expect during a pricing call:

  • Connect for 30 minutes
  • Explore deployment options (cloud vs. on-premise)
  • Get a real number, not an ambiguous range
  • Discuss multi-year pricing and POC options if relevant
