2025 has been a turning point for AI in legal document review. Across the industry, we’ve seen a clear shift: from early curiosity about what’s possible with generative AI to full-scale commitment to bringing it into everyday workflows.
What once felt experimental is now essential as teams across the industry embrace AI to move faster, work smarter, and uplevel their impact.
This momentum is reflected in the milestones that Relativity aiR and, more importantly, its users, have achieved over the past year:
- With more than 250 customers using aiR on 1,800+ projects, the legal community has clearly embraced generative AI.
- Each month, millions of documents are analyzed—with continuous, month-over-month growth that sets new records each time.
- Delivering throughput of up to 3 million documents per day, aiR delivers the scale and performance required for customers’ most data-intensive projects.
- These tools help customers are complete reviews up to 85 percent faster and uncover 10–20 percent more relevant documents than they could with linear or TAR alternatives, turning the promise of generative AI into proven performance.
Embracing these solutions has ultimately led to a pivotal change: in 2026, aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege will be included in the standard RelativityOne offering, putting the power of generative AI directly in every customer’s hands and setting a new standard that puts AI at the very foundation of review.
As we celebrate this progress, we’re also looking ahead. We sat down with the product leads behind aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege to reflect on how these solutions have evolved over the past year and share what’s next—because while 2025 was momentous, it is only the beginning.
From aiR Vision to aiR Value: The Lasting Impact of Purpose-Built AI
Behind aiR is a team dedicated to building AI solutions that deliver real impact. Maks Babuder and Peter Haller, directors of product management at Relativity, share how they’ve partnered over the past year to shape the evolution of aiR—blending their expertise, learning from customers, and refining how generative AI powers review.
They reflect on the moments that showed aiR’s value in action and discuss the philosophies that have guided its enhancements so far.
Trust and Defensibility Built In, and Strengthened with Every Innovation
In an industry where accountability is everything, aiR aims not just to meet expectations, but to raise the bar—embedding trust at its core and reinforcing defensibility with every enhancement.
From the start, aiR has hinged upon building trust, providing deep transparency with each prediction to help users understand their results and stand behind them. And as technology evolves, so does Relativity’s commitment: continuing to invest in new ways to validate, explain, and strengthen every decision our AI helps deliver.
Taking Data to Outcomes Faster than Ever Before
Every second counts for today’s legal data intelligence teams, and aiR is turning work that once took hours into results that happen in minutes. The impact goes far beyond just getting a project done: customers are taking on work others can’t, spending time where it matters most, and driving huge ROI with AI.
aiR shows what’s possible when cutting-edge performance meets purposeful design to get you from start to finish, fast.
Relentless Advancement: Building for What’s Next
As the pace of AI innovation accelerates, Relativity is leaning in by experimenting, learning, and pushing boundaries to keep aiR on the cutting edge of what’s possible. We’re bringing emerging technology into aiR to keep our products and our customers ahead of the curve.
Technology moves relentlessly, always progressing to the next innovation. We want to make sure we’re building for the future, helping our community unlock even deeper insights and solve new challenges that are no longer out of reach.
Looking Back While Moving Forward
2025 proved what’s possible when purpose and innovation align. Generative AI isn’t just improving document review; it’s redefining it. Every day, the Relativity community embraces aiR to work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence than ever before.
As we look ahead, our focus remains the same: delivering solutions that combine the latest technology, tremendous scale, and built-in trust to meet the evolving needs of the legal community. 2026 will bring even more opportunities to harness AI’s potential—so take a moment to breathe, reflect on an incredible year, and lean into what’s coming. The journey is far from over.
