Problem
Law firms store vast amounts of institutional knowledge across disconnected systems like document management, email, and matter management platforms. AI tools used by lawyers often lack access to this context, forcing them to work with incomplete information or requiring hours of manual searching through archives to find relevant precedents and facts.
Solution
Tessera is a server that connects to a firm's systems of record, ingests hundreds of millions of documents and emails, and rebuilds them into a unified knowledge graph. It serves this context to any AI system the firm runs, including Microsoft Word through an add-in, and Claude, ChatGPT, and legal AI platforms over MCP or API. The engine reduces token consumption by delivering only relevant context rather than entire archives, and every answer includes citations tracing back to the original source document. This allows lawyers to get answers in seconds without digging through the DMS, while maintaining verifiability of AI-generated responses.
Target Audience
Primary customers are law firms and legal departments that use AI tools and need to ground them in their firm's historical documents, precedents, and matter data.
