Company Knowledge Base vs. Case Knowledge Base
Andri.ai uses two separate knowledge bases to power its AI legal analyses: the Company Knowledge Base and the Case Knowledge Base. Each serves a different purpose.
Company Knowledge Base
The Company Knowledge Base stores your firm's shared resources—documents that support all legal work across your organization.
What goes in it:
Press releases and publications
Legal templates and standard forms
Firm policies and procedures
Research papers and reference materials
Legal precedents and guidelines
Who can access it: All team members in your organization. Only invited team members can view or add documents—it's never accessible outside your firm.
How it's used: Andri.ai references these documents when providing legal analyses across all cases. The more comprehensive your Company KB, the better the AI assistance becomes for your entire team.
Case Knowledge Base
The Case Knowledge Base stores documents specific to individual cases.
What goes in it: Case-specific files like contracts, correspondence, evidence, client documents, and case research. Supports PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, XLSX, EML, ZIP (up to 500 MB), and audio files.
Limits: 300 MB per file (500 MB for ZIP), up to 40 files per upload.
Who can access it: Team members working on that specific case.
How it's used: Andri.ai uses these documents to provide case-specific analyses and answers to your legal questions.
When to Use Each
Use the Company Knowledge Base for:
Firm-wide reference materials
Documents that apply to multiple cases
Building your organization's AI knowledge foundation
Use the Case Knowledge Base for:
Documents unique to a specific case
Client-provided files
Case-specific correspondence and evidence
Both knowledge bases work together. When you ask Andri.ai a question on a case, it draws from both the case-specific documents and your firm's Company Knowledge Base to provide comprehensive legal analyses.
