Although COVID kept me from attending, it is not keeping me from covering the news coming out of the show.
Previously, I <a href="https://www.lawnext.com/2023/03/legalweek-news-roundup-part-1-reveal-casepoint-disco-contractpodai-haystackid-repario.html">posted part one of my roundup</a> of Legalweek news, featuring news from Reveal-Brainspace, Casepoint, DISCO, ContractPodAi, Haystack ID and the newly launched Repario. Now here is part two.
<h3>Everlaw Announces Visual Intelligence and Automation Updates</h3>
The ediscovery and litigation company <a href="https://www.everlaw.com/">Everlaw</a> unveiled three new features at Legalweek: Communication Visualizer, Video Depositions and Cloud Connectors for Zoom. Everlaw said that the features &#8220;deliver unprecedented visual intelligence and automation to help legal teams quickly find hidden stories and context in the growing bodies of digital evidence.&#8221;

<div id="attachment_43199" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.lawnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Comm_Visualizer_Everlaw.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43199" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-43199" src="https://www.lawnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Comm_Visualizer_Everlaw.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" srcset="https://www.lawnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Comm_Visualizer_Everlaw.jpg 400w, https://www.lawnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Comm_Visualizer_Everlaw-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a>Everlaw&#8217;s Communication Visualizer is designed to uncover hidden relationships between people often concealed in big data sets.</div>
The Communication Visualizer is designed to uncover hidden relationships in conversations that may be concealed in large data sets, in order to identify outliers and patterns. Small circles – or nodes – represent key players. Larger nodes indicate higher volumes of correspondence, and the size of the line between any two nodes shows how often people email each other, Everlaw says. Interactivity allows teams to instantly isolate specific communications between individuals, dig further into the communication, refine date ranges, specific email accounts and even view the specific documents.</li>
<li>The Video Depositions tool allows legal teams to analyze video depositions alongside the corresponding synced transcript. It integrates with Everlaw&#8217;s <a href="https://directory.lawnext.com/products/storybuilder-by-everlaw/">Storybuilder</a> tool so that, as legal teams build a case in Storybuilder by citing testimony, the corresponding snipped of video is directly available. The Video Depositions tool also allows users to edit video snippets, automatically create video snippets when they highlight transcripts, search for and jump to keywords, and collaborate with others.</li>
<li>The new Cloud Connectors automate the ingestion of data and video from Zoom and nine other popular enterprise applications and data sources, including Slack, Google Vault and Microsoft 365.</li>

Hanzo says that Spotlight+ is a data-intelligence layer that helps users visualize data, offering large enterprises the scalability necessary to manage early case assessment of collaboration data efficiently. Its AI-powered data enhancement automates the detection of PII, toxicity, unwanted behaviors, and more.
Customers can filter using facets to pinpoint sensitive information and discover specific classifications during early case assessment for rapid insights into the data before export and outside counsel review. By providing quick and accurate messages and file intelligence of collected content, enterprise legal teams have the information necessary to support internal investigations or e-discovery matters, Hanzo says.
“It&#8217;s not uncommon for large organizations to have to make sense of thousands of channels and millions of messages,&#8221; said Dave Ruel, VP of product at Hanzo. &#8220;We&#8217;re embedding AI in Illuminate and adding categorization libraries that can rapidly analyze massive repositories of data, documents, and other artifacts, which will help enterprises more easily discover, classify, and protect sensitive data stored within cloud applications such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Workspace and more.&#8221;
