Whether it’s through an expansion of Lex Machina’s practice areas or the acquisition of research company Ravel Law, LexisNexis has made an aggressive push in the middle of 2017 to expand its technology stack through new products and expansion.
And the company isn’t done yet. On June 26, LexisNexis announced that it was launching Lexis Answers, an artificial intelligence-infused expansion to the company’s pre-existing research capabilities. Lexis Answers aims to use natural language during searches rather than keywords or Boolean syntax, even anticipating potential questions once a few words are entered into the search field. Then, via what’s termed as a Lexis Answer Card, Lexis Answers directly links to relevant text within a document to answer the question.
