Hanzo, a pioneer in legal and compliance technology, today announced a major expansion of its Spotlight AI Platform, a unified set of AI-powered capabilities embedded within its Illuminate and Chronicle platforms. This update strengthens Hanzo’s position as the leader in simplifying investigations of complex collaboration data at enterprise scale.
Building on Hanzo’s legacy of innovation and recognition, such as the 2024 LegalTech Breakthrough Award and “Best Use of AI for eDiscovery” in 2023—the next generation of Spotlight AI delivers a purpose-built suite designed to help legal, compliance, and HR teams accelerate investigations, reduce manual review, and surface actionable insights from complex data with clarity and confidence.
Hanzo’s Spotlight Suite began with Spotlight Signals, the core AI engine within Illuminate. It uses large language models to generate investigative questions based on case context and apply them across massive datasets—often millions of Slack or Microsoft Teams messages.
By interpreting conversations in full context—including nuance, sentiment, and indirect references—Signals reduces irrelevant content by over 80% while matching human-level review accuracy, with no prompt tuning or AI expertise required.
Its impact has already been demonstrated in enterprise environments, where it accelerated review and surfaced key insights at scale.
Now, Hanzo is extending this foundation with Spotlight Assist and Spotlight Inspect, giving teams even greater speed and precision across the investigative workflow.
Spotlight Assist is optimized for internal HR and compliance investigations involving employee misconduct, harassment, whistleblower activity or litigation readiness. Working with smaller, curated datasets, Assist offers natural language querying, visual timeline creation, instant summaries, and participant role mapping. Investigators can reconstruct events, identify patterns, and find key actors without having to manually comb through thousands of messages or conversations.
Native to the Chronicle platform, Spotlight Inspect automates content monitoring across millions of archived web pages. It detects missing content or disclaimers, structural anomalies, broken links, and policy deviations surfacing daily or real-time alerts. With built-in reporting for audit trails and regulatory response, Inspect equips teams to proactively enforce digital compliance and reduce the risk of reputational or legal exposure from unnoticed content issues.
Together, Spotlight Signals, Assist, and Inspect form a comprehensive, AI-driven suite for investigative excellence. These tools replace fragmented, manual workflows with streamlined, intelligent processes, empowering teams to move from data to insight to action with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. Whether managing eDiscovery, conducting internal investigations, or ensuring compliance across digital properties, organizations can respond to today’s complexity with agility and control.
“These new tools reflect our vision for truly intelligent, integrated investigations,” said Dave Rule, VP of Product. “We’re delivering practical AI that integrates with real-world workflows, making investigations faster, more accurate, and more defensible.”
By combining powerful and modern AI technologies with deep domain alignment, Hanzo enables teams to future-proof their investigative practices, safeguard institutional trust, and adapt to fast-evolving regulatory and workplace demands.
