Today, Briefpoint CEO and founder Nathan Walter joins Bob Ambrogi to announce the launch of Autodoc, a breakthrough workflow that ingests a party’s production and opposing counsel’s Requests for Production (RFPs), then locates the responsive documents, applies Bates numbers, and drafts a fully captioned Word response—including objections and pinpoint Bates citations—in seconds per request.

Designed for the 99% of cases that don’t justify traditional eDiscovery, Autodoc gives litigators a fast, defensible way to answer RFPs without armies of reviewers or six-figure tooling. “We built Briefpoint to eliminate discovery work,” said Nathan Walter, CEO of Briefpoint. “Autodoc is a massive step forward: it reads your production and the RFPs, finds what’s responsive, and writes the responses—typically two to ten seconds per request—while keeping the attorney in control at every verification step.”

About Briefpoint:

Briefpoint is a litigation-automation platform that drafts discovery—both propounding sets and responses—so firms can deliver higher-quality work in a fraction of the time. Beyond Autodoc, Briefpoint offers tailored interrogatories, RFAs, and RFPs generated from pleadings; a library of 6,000+ standard discovery requests; client-friendly answer collection (English/Spanish); and jurisdiction-aware document assembly for all 50 states, D.C., and all 98 federal district courts. Our mission is simple: eliminate discovery work from litigation.
