# DISCO launches agentic e-discovery: AI agents automate legal document review and production

> DISCO launched an agentic e-discovery tool that aims to automate the grind of legal document review, the expensive, labor-heavy phase of litigation where teams sift through huge volumes of files to find what matters. Rather than relying on keyword searches and older machine-learning classifiers alone, the tool uses AI agents to carry out multi-step review and production workflows with less manual steering. The launch is part of a busy stretch for legal tech, arriving alongside new AI tools from NetDocuments and others ahead of the industry's ILTACON gathering. It reflects a broader pattern, that after years of cautious pilots, law firms and legal departments are now getting agentic products aimed at their most time-consuming tasks. Document review is a natural first target because the work is structured, high-volume, and directly tied to billable hours, which makes even modest automation gains financially meaningful for the teams that adopt it.
