AI Hub overview

The AI Hub is a powerful tool that simplifies the use of multiple AI engines and integrates them seamlessly into the processes built in the HighQ platform, all controlled and configured in Collaborate. The AI Hub sits between Collaborate and leading AI engines, including HighQ's own AI.

The native HighQ AI engine has been developed for document classification by type, or by language, or to determine information such as which currencies or jurisdictions are referred to in the document. You can also train the HighQ AI engine to classify new document types as well as train folders.

Support for multiple AI engines

The HighQ platform integrates with leading AI engines, such as Kira. These engines must be purchased and configured independently of HighQ before the AI Hub can connect to that specific service.

If you have your own AI service, you can add API support that allows the HighQ AI Hub to communicate with your AI engine. Requirements can be found on the HighQ developer community.

These are the steps to enable AI and process files:

Contact your HighQ account manager to access the AI Hub premium feature

Contract access to the selected AI engines (not necessary for the HighQ AI)

Configure and authorise one or more AI engines at the system level

Turn on authorised AI engines for each site that will use AI

Assign the AI to a folder (this process varies for each AI engine)

Add additional AI services

Generic connector for AI

You can add support for additional AI services via the generic connector for AI, as long as the service implements API commands used by the connector to send and retrieve data.

The AI Hub

When a file is uploaded to the HighQ Files module
, it is sent to the AI Hub, analysed, key data points are extracted, and this data is then stored in the AI Hub. From the AI Hub, this data can then be used to enrich
File Metadata iSheets
(custom file metadata) or to use in the Data Visualisation dashboard panel
. This metadata gives insights into the documents you are dealing with.

HighQ AI and the AI Hub

HighQ AI is one of several leading AI engines that may be accessed via the AI Hub; one or more AI engines can be used to analyse and tag files automatically for later reference.

After configuring access on your site, files added to folders with AI will be seamlessly analysed, and can be configured to automatically organise the analysed documents into folders.

When you first use HighQ AI, it can provide information and insights for a range of legal document types. You may provide your own example documents to further train the HighQ AI to improve accuracy and familiarity with your documents, including the ability to add your own custom tags and rules.

Additionally, the AI Hub can identify and extract numbers and dates from text fields returned by all AI engines.

For example, if an AI engine returned the text "This contract will automatically renew on June 24th 2024 and will run for a further 200 days if not terminated." then the user can choose to push the text to a text field (to see the full clause), or to a date column formatted as DD/MM/YYYY (in which case the AI Hub will extract the date 24/06/2024), or to a number field (in which case the AI Hub will pull out the number 200).

For example, this can be used alongside HighQ AI-trained clauses to identify and extract dates and numbers that are not part of the out-of-the-box extracted values.

How can the AI Hub help?

Make the most of an investment without continuing costs in terms of time, resources and money; AI Hub links the Files module directly to the AI system; documents are sent automatically for analysis, either for reference or visualisation.

Use cases

AI engines assist document processing and classification for a wide range of matters:

Due diligence

Document and contract review

Compliance

Contract management

Knowledge management

Deal analysis

Workflow benefits if you are already using AI

Benefits

Competitive advantage
- The ability to rapidly and seamlessly sort files reduces the time and effort required to manually examine documents. The time and resources saved may be re-invested in using the information gained from the AI to complete critical tasks.

Flexibility
- You can authorise access to a multitude of expert AI systems. Choose the best AI engine for your needs to provide detailed insight and pull that information back into your central AI Hub.

Automatic workflow
- HighQ AI Hub handles the analysis, classification and storage automatically, freeing your team to handle other tasks and leaving you to make decisions.

Document analysis
- Integrates clause-level analysis of legal documents with other processes without additional resources, training or overhead. Compare files and contract templates using familiar comparison tools or a numerical deviation score. You may view similar files in 'clusters' for quick analysis and management.

Adapts to your business
- The AI can be trained on your specialist documents to tag and label documents to allow high-level analysis.

Cost-effective
- Only analyse new files; you don't have to re-transfer all your files into the AI system and then pull the analysis back out.

How does the AI Hub work?

The AI Hub is ideal for automating and simplifying transactions such as due diligence, large property deals, legal project management, and others.

These capabilities are:

The AI Hub leverages HighQ's native AI features to perform tasks such as automatically classifying document types, detecting languages, currencies or governing law.

It leverages powerful third-party AI engines to detect or extract provisions and data points from documents, the results of which are stored in the AI Hub.

The AI Hub integrates with several AI systems. After the AI machine learning engine completes its analysis (classifying, highlighting and extracting key concepts and content within the documents), HighQ stores the extracted data in the AI Hub.

Once this enriched information is in the AI Hub, it's available for use in the iSheets or data visualisation modules.

Map AI data points to columns and automatically insert them into iSheets

Use data visualisation to summarise the data on a dashboard. For example, display financial data, a breakdown of documents by class and language, or show the document status.
