What Is Relativity?
Relativity (RelativityOne in its cloud form) is the legal industry's dominant eDiscovery platform — used by litigation teams to find, review, and produce relevant documents in legal proceedings. The aiR suite adds generative AI capabilities for document review, privilege detection, and case strategy.
The most significant move: Relativity announced that aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege are standard in RelativityOne at no additional charge — a competitive strategy designed to lock in the installed base and prevent competitors from undercutting on AI features.
💡Key Concept
eDiscovery: In litigation, parties must produce relevant documents to the opposing side. For large cases, this means reviewing millions of documents (emails, contracts, messages) to identify what is relevant, privileged (protected), or responsive. AI-powered eDiscovery dramatically accelerates this process — aiR for Review can process up to 3 million documents per day, and aiR for Privilege catches privileged documents that human reviewers miss.
