Conga Discovery integrates Conga’s Advantage AI machine learning engine to the Advantage Platform. Entering through this cloud platform, you can now use artificial intelligence to import and extract terms, fields, and clauses from contracts.

To be useful, this tool must be set up and configured. Conga has done its best to simplify these processees, providing AI tools to assist. Even with these tools, administrators may need to adjust, improve, or customize their configurations. Once the tool is set up, the administrator can map agreement types (for example, Master Service Agreement, Nondisclosure Agreement, or Independent Contractor Agreement) to predefined terms (fields or clauses). Discovery applies these mapped terms to ingested documents, capturing, highlighting, and creating searchable metadata (dates, amounts, Booleans, or custom values) for detected contract provisions. User administration is managed in Conga’s Advantage Platform.

Users’ primary roles are to import documents and to review them once they are imported. This flow also admits user feedback to train the AI for any custom provision models the administrator has created.

Discovery offers three choices for imported documents: OCR (text only), Automated Extraction, and Verified Extraction. OCR is fastest, ingesting and storing imported documents as searchable text, but offering no contract provision extraction. Automated Extraction provides artificial intelligence and machine learning to extract contract provisions and generate searchable metadata about contracts. Verified Extraction introduces an attorney into the process to review and validate the Discovery AI interpreter’s accuracy.
