DeepJudge raises $10.7m seed funding and launches gen AI Knowledge Assistant

Legal IT insider reports

Swiss-founded legal tech startup DeepJudge has raised $10.7m in an oversubscribed seed funding round led by New York private equity firm Coatue. Additionally, the company today (18 June) announced the availability of DeepJudgeKnowledge Assistant, a generative AI interface for law firms and legal departments to access their document knowledge base.

Founded by AI researchers and former Google search engineers Paulina Grnarova, Yannic Kilcher, and Kevin Roth, DeepJudge enables organisations to retrieve relevant content from across the enterprise, including document management systems and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. It integrates with Copilot, extending its permissions-aware retrieval system across a firm’s internal data.

DeepJudge’s knowledge search is powered by the company’s proprietary Colinear Technology, which blends the capabilities of semantic and keyword search. It uses a proprietary large language model to understand the content within each document regardless of document type and enables legal professionals to search in their own words.

Its new Knowledge Assistant uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to surface the most relevant, up-to-date information, with answers that are grounded in an organisation’s institutional knowledge.
