Powered by GenIV AI
Advanced AI That Transforms How You Work With Documents
Merlin Alchemy is powered by Sherlock AI, a pioneering multi-LLM system that doesn’t just find documents—it reads, analyzes, and helps you understand them. By combining Generative AI with sophisticated machine learning algorithms, Sherlock AI can:
- Transform complex questions into detailed analyses across thousands of documents, providing answers rather than just search results
- Generate comprehensive timelines, investigation reports, and witness kits in seconds rather than days
- Analyze hundreds of transcripts and medical records simultaneously, extracting key insights and connections
This revolutionary approach means legal teams can focus on strategy and client counsel while Sherlock AI handles the heavy lifting—reducing both time and costs by up to 90 percent.
Single-Tenant Security
Your Data, Your Cloud, Your Control
Unlike traditional multi-tenant platforms, Merlin Alchemy provides each client with a dedicated site in a secure Virtual Private Cloud, delivering unprecedented control over your data environment. This means:
- Complete data isolation: Your information remains fully segregated from other clients’ data
- Enhanced security control: Deploy customized security protocols and disaster recovery plans
- Local hosting options: Meet data privacy regulations across any jurisdiction
- Zero shared infrastructure: Eliminate all potential cross-client vulnerabilities
Real-world impact: When a major provider’s ransomware attack compromised their shared repository, every client lost data access. With Alchemy’s single-tenant architecture, your data remains protected in its own secure environment—completely isolated from such systemic risks.
Alchemy Multi Matter
Multiple Cases, One Platform
Alchemy MM allows our clients to manage multiple matters, cases, and investigations within a single, secure Alchemy repository. Instead of creating and paying for separate sites for each matter, clients can now host numerous matters on one platform, dramatically reducing their overall hosting costs. The benefits include:
- Substantial Cost Savings: Host multiple matters for a fraction of the cost of individual sites
- Simplified Management: Clean, intuitive user experience
- Full Functionality: All Alchemy capabilities, including AI and GenAI features
- Enhanced Security: Documents locked down to each matter, ensuring appropriate access control
Clients can potentially host a dozen cases for roughly the cost of three separate sites while maintaining rigorous security protocols that keep documents and work product locked to each specific matter.Â
On/Off Cloud Utility Savings
Why pay monthly when you can pay by the minute?
Experience the industry’s first true cloud utility pricing model. Alchemy’s innovative approach lets you:
- One low rate when your site is active, and a substantially reduced rate when it’s off
- Control costs through flexible scheduling – set operating hours or turn sites off manually
- Save automatically with our Site Energy Saver that powers down idle sites
- Reduce hosting costs by up to 60% while supporting green computing initiatives
Real-world impact: A major FinTech client saved over $360,000 in hosting fees by turning their 5TB site off during a year-long government investigation pause.
