LexisNexis is introducing what it calls the legal sector’s first personalized voice AI assistant, known as Protégé. This innovation aims to modify how legal professionals interact with AI technology by enabling voice commands to manage complex legal tasks. This development was announced at the Legalweek conference in New York, as detailed here.
The introduction of Protégé in the Lexis+ AI system permits users to complete tasks using voice input rather than requiring typed commands. According to Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK, and Ireland, this enhancement seeks to simplify user experience by fostering a more effortless interaction between legal professionals and AI, aiming to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

The AI’s features include advanced reasoning capabilities and voice assistance, designed to improve the quality of legal work. For instance, users can employ voice commands to request summaries of case law or initiate document drafting tasks. Insights into these improvements are further explored on the Lexis+ AI platform.
Protégé leverages proprietary technology that allows for enhanced interaction between legal practitioners and the AI. The system incorporates several agents aimed at refining legal outcomes: the Planner Agent, the Interactive Agent, and the Self-Reflection Agent. These agents guide users through complex legal queries, modify responses for tailored results, and self-evaluate to improve document drafting. Additionally, Protégé can generate summaries of expert witness depositions, providing crucial litigation insights.
To bolster security and privacy, Protégé is built with enterprise-grade safeguards and can integrate across LexisNexis’s ecosystem, including integration capabilities through Lexis Create+ for legal drafting in Microsoft Word, offering legal professionals a holistic and connected AI experience.
The LexisNexis vision underlines personalization and seamless integration of AI, enabling every legal professional to operate more effectively. The platform is equipped with comprehensive capabilities to ensure that legal practitioners can work smarter and deliver faster, high-quality results.
