Introducing Merlin Alchemy™: A GenAI-Powered Cloud Discovery Platform that Transforms Information into Intelligence

Im excited to announce that on March 7, 2025, Merlin Search Technologies released Merlin Alchemy™, a revolutionary fourth-generation document intelligence platform for legal investigations and discovery. Alchemy is the fourth generation, Generative AI successor to our award winning DiscoveryPartner® cloud software platform.

Alchemy represents the culmination of our systematic innovation journey in GenAI technology, designed with a singular purpose: to transform overwhelming volumes of unstructured data into valuable, actionable intelligence for legal professionals.

Why Alchemy?

The name embodies our mission—turning raw data into gold. Like the ancient alchemists who sought to transform base metals into precious materials, our platform applies sophisticated AI to convert complex document collections into immediate insights.

Our Systematic Innovation Journey:

Alchemy emerges as the fourth generation in our methodical GenAI development:

  • Gen I (Oct 2023): Established the foundation with pioneering 100-document analysis capability
  • Gen II (Mar 2024): Expanded processing to transcripts, medical records and larger document sets in any language
  • Gen III (Oct 2024): Integrated find-analyze-report functions with multi-modal search into a single click
  • Alchemy (Mar 2025): Delivers architectural breakthroughs in analytical accuracy, comprehensive reporting, user control and cost transparency
 

Key Innovations in Alchemy: 

Our fourth generation Generative AI offering, renamed Alchemy to represent the end stage of our journey, introduces five critical enhancements that collectively redefine what’s possible for large scale investigations and discovery efforts. 

1. Revolutionary Dual-Window Architecture: Creates clean separation between analysis prompts and formatting instructions, delivering superior analytical accuracy. 

2. Comprehensive Document Intelligence: Breaks free from arbitrary document limitations, providing full reporting across all analyzed documents, powered by Claude Sonnet 3.7 and GPT  4.03 Mini.

3. Precision-Guided Follow-Up Intelligence: Gives users explicit control over query scope with clear options for follow-up questions, including the groundbreaking “Conversation Only” option that reduces token usage while improving report quality. 

4. Limitless Document Analysis: Eliminates previous document limitations for extended analysis with consistent controls across both new and extended topic requests. 

5. Industry-First Cost Transparency: Introduces real-time LLM cost estimation before running queries, addressing concerns about GenAI expenses with clear pricing. 

Setting a New Standard

Alchemy’s innovations establish Merlin as the undisputed leader in AI-powered legal discovery. By combining architectural improvements, expanded analytical capacity, user-centered design and unprecedented cost transparency, Alchemy transforms how legal teams interact with complex document sets.

“While other vendors struggle with basic GenAI implementation, we’re delivering a fourth-generation platform that fundamentally reimagines document intelligence,” added Dr. William Webber, Merlin’s Chief Data Scientist. “Alchemy represents our commitment to continuous innovation that delivers genuine value to legal professionals.”

Experience Alchemy in Action

Join us on March 13th at 1 PM ET for an EDRM webinar where we’ll demonstrate how Alchemy is fundamentally shifting legal work from traditional keyword searches to asking questions and receiving comprehensive, actionable answers.

Our panel will include global experts who have implemented these technologies in high-stakes matters, sharing practical frameworks you can immediately apply in your practice.

“The legal technology landscape is filled with vendors making incremental improvements to outdated systems. With Alchemy, we’re not just improving existing processes—we’re fundamentally reimagining what’s possible in legal discovery,” notes our team.

Register here for this “Don’t Miss” EDRM Webinar.
Existing DiscoveryPartner clients will be automatically upgraded to Alchemy.
