Law firms are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from semantic search (RAG) are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.

Built for the law firm who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
What semantic search (RAG) actually does
Search that understands intent, not just keywords. Your team types what they mean – and gets the right document, ticket, or product from across every system, with citations.
- 01 Indexes Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Slack, your CRM
- 02 Returns answers with source links – no hallucinations
- 03 Permissioned so staff only see what they should
- 04 Re-indexes nightly so results stay fresh
Built on: Pinecone Claude Postgres pgvector Vercel AI SDK

Lay of the land
The two or three things that decide whether this works for law firms.
- Law firms bill for judgement, but a huge share of the week still goes on intake, document review, and status updates.
- New matter intake and routine client updates are the two places firms lose the most billable time to admin.
How we build semantic search (RAG) for law firms.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a law firm business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI search over your data.

Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have semantic search (RAG) in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most law firms. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What does semantic search (RAG) cost for a law firm?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Has this actually shipped for a real law firm?
Yes. Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What if our law firm doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For semantic search (RAG) specifically, we typically run that work on Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
