Problem the AI is intended to solve

CounselAI will minimize the manual replication of work product, strengthen CBP’s ability to provide consistent responses across the agency’s sizable litigation portfolio, and enable OCC to better defend against legal challenges.

Expected benefits

CounselAI will allow OCC to be more efficient and effective. The LLM uses existing work product to help identify similar legal challenges and generate successful draft language for use in litigation. The LLM will also save users time with its search and summarization features.

System outputs

CounselAI will answer user questions and generate content. The AI output is in chat format, answering user questions about the “knowledgebase” of data. The AI output will also include LLM generated content, such as draft responses and documents to be used in litigation.
