Our summary
This guide explores how to help an AI assistant find specific legal documents in a large collection. Searching every file takes too much time and computing power. Instead, a person can use a fast, basic search to create a smaller list of likely options before looking closer.
After the basic search builds a short list, an AI tool named Jev steps in. Jev is software that chooses from options rather than writing an answer. It scores how well each document matches the user's request. The system then sorts the list so the highest scores appear first.
This method helps developers manage large document collections. To connect the software, they need an API key, which acts as a private access code. However, every extra document requires another AI decision, increasing costs. The AI also cannot score documents the basic search missed.
Key takeaways
- Use a fast, cheap search method to narrow down documents before using a more complex AI tool.
- Look at how often the right answer appears in the top ten results, not just the first spot.
- Remember that scoring every document on a short list requires a separate decision that adds to your costs.
