Thomson Reuters Unveils Generative AI Tools for Legal Research and Integration with Westlaw

Thomson Reuters has introduced new generative AI initiatives, including AI-Assisted Research on Westlaw Precision, which incorporates GenAI into the company's legal research platform. This functionality allows users to ask complex legal research questions in natural language and receive synthesized answers by citing Thomson Reuters' Westlaw database. The AI tool uses retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to ensure accurate and relevant responses. Thomson Reuters also plans to upgrade its GenAI assistant, CoCounsel, to provide additional skills for drafting, reviewing, and summarizing legal documents. These AI tools are developed using the Thomson Reuters Generative AI platform, enabling the company to expand its AI product offerings quickly.
