AI that proposes, people who decide
How the agents in PlaintiffStack work on a case: they read the record, cite the page and propose the next step. Nothing lands until a person accepts it.
By The PlaintiffStack team
There are two ways to put AI into a law firm's software. One lets it act: file the fact, set the deadline, send the message. The other lets it propose, and leaves the decision with a person. PlaintiffStack is built the second way.
Agents propose, people accept
Agents read the case record and propose facts, deadlines and tasks. None of them lands in a case until a person accepts it.
There is one exception, and we'd rather say it plainly: the summary at the top of each case is written by an agent. Earlier versions can be restored from Notes.
Everything else waits for someone. Drafts wait for review. Automation flows can hold for an admin's approval. Nothing goes to a client, a carrier or a court until a person sends it.
Every fact cites its page
A proposed fact is only useful if you can check it quickly. So every fact an agent proposes cites the document, the page and the exact words it came from. Checking takes a click.
Case tools also flag what doesn't add up, like dates that disagree or bills with no records, and say where they found it.
Deadlines show their work
In California, deadlines are computed and shown with their rule and basis, so your team can confirm them. They're never applied silently.
What it can't read yet
Agents read searchable PDFs, Word documents and text files. They don't read scanned records or faxes yet. A file with no readable text is flagged in the document list, so your team knows the AI hasn't read it. Scanned pages inside an otherwise searchable PDF aren't read or flagged yet, and we'd rather you know that now than find it on a case.
You see the cost first
On a case, each tool's Run button shows an estimated cost before it starts, and the actual cost of every run is recorded.
Why it's built this way
A plaintiff firm's judgment is the product it sells. Software that makes the calls for you takes that away and leaves you with the liability. We'd rather do the reading, the citing and the first draft, and leave the decisions where they belong.
