From Questions to Insight: Conversational AI in the Investigator’s Workflow

Natural language AI tools are changing how investigators interact with data—allowing teams to move from technical queries to conversational exploration, surface narratives faster, and build early case understanding with less friction. For corporate investigations, this shift brings clear efficiency gains, but also new challenges around accuracy, defensibility, and over-reliance.

This free webinar will explore how investigators are using conversational AI in day-to-day workflows, where it delivers real value, and where caution is required. Drawing on practical experience and emerging capabilities—including in-platform conversational experiences such as Relativity’s aiR Assist—the discussion will examine how investigators can better understand actors, relationships, and events within their data, uncover insight earlier, and accelerate case strategy while maintaining control, rigor, and trust.
