What is Hebbia? 

Hebbia is an AI platform designed to help businesses and professionals—including legal professionals—with deep search and information retrieval from large datasets. It uses advanced machine learning to extract insights from documents and break down complex tasks into manageable workflows.

With Hebbia’s collaborative AI interface, Matrix, users can quickly extract insights from, structure, and analyze large volumes of documents while collaborating with the AI in real-time.

How much does Hebbia AI cost?

There are currently no specific pricing details on the Hebbia website. However, if you’re interested in learning more, you can book a demo.

What can Hebbia AI do for lawyers?

For law practices, Hebbia’s collaborative AI interface can help lawyers turn large quantities of unstructured data into structured data, and then use that structured data to obtain insights as prompted, and more effectively manage legal work like contracts, depositions, patents, and more. It can also help legal professionals build automated workflows to streamline routine work.

This ability to leverage AI tools to optimize workflows and support growth aligns with what today’s legal professionals are increasingly embracing. 

Notably, the latest Legal Trends Report shows that 84% of firms believe AI usage will increase over the next 12 months. Even among firms that have yet to adopt AI, 68% say their use of AI will increase over the next 12 months—suggesting that legal professionals are or are becoming open to the type of potential that AI tools like Hebbia can unlock.

Hebbia’s AI has several key features of particular interest to lawyers. For example, Hebbia’s advanced search capabilities (the collaborative AI can answer questions about any amount and modality of data), complex multi-step workflows (turning a lawyer’s prompts into actionable workflows), and customizable insights (flagging key terms across contracts) could be particularly useful for lawyers.  

Additionally, with transparent processes, Hebbia allows users to trace every action taken. When users can see the work as they go, they can verify and collaborate with the AI. This transparency allows lawyers to better safeguard against common ethical considerations that can come with AI, like issues of accuracy and accountability. 

How law firms can leverage Hebbia AI

There are a number of practical ways that Hebbia could potentially help law firms looking to leverage its AI functionality. These could include:

Streamlining discovery and due diligence

Hebbia’s AI platform could help lawyers analyze large quantities of data to identify risks and locate critical information faster, helping to streamline due diligence tasks. It could also simplify document review in litigation or transactional contexts.

Assisting with drafting and reviewing contracts

Hebbia could help lawyers identify risks, redundancies, or missing clauses across agreements and contracts in an instant. These actionable insights could help lawyers to improve draft quality by identifying areas that can be improved or enhanced. 

Better knowledge management

Hebbia could help lawyers build searchable repositories of past clauses and legal opinions—leveraging institutional knowledge to make future workflows more efficient and consistent.
