DISCO AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

DISCO is ediscovery and litigation software from Austin, Texas, for law firms and corporate legal teams. It combines document review, deposition management, timelines and legal holds with the Cecilia AI assistant, which answers questions about case evidence and writes summaries.

The DISCO Platform covers ediscovery with search, filters and early case assessment in the same database as active review, deposition transcript review with shared annotations, case timelines, and the Hold and Request modules for legal holds and data collection. Auto Review adds AI first-pass review, and professional services handle document review, forensic collection and managed services. The vendor is CS DISCO, Inc., with offices in Austin, New York, London and Gurugram. The platform runs on AWS, and vendor press releases name data centers in Dublin and Toronto. Named target groups include law firms, corporate legal teams and plaintiff firms in mass tort and class actions.

• Answers questions about case evidenceCecilia Q&A searches all documents in a matter and answers questions in natural language with citations to the underlying files. In Advanced research mode it works through multi-step investigations such as chronologies or gaps in document dates, so teams find key facts earlier.
• Summarizes documents and depositionsThe AI writes summaries of individual documents and of deposition testimony, with quick, page-line or topical formats. Single-document Q&A helps with dense or foreign-language files. Reviewers grasp long material faster before deciding what needs close reading.
• Runs first-pass document reviewAuto Review applies the tags defined by the case team to the review set and explains every tag suggestion. The vendor states speeds of up to 32,000 documents per hour. Lawyers then check the suggestions and focus their own reading on contested documents.
• Builds case timelinesAuto timelines turn the documents of a matter into a chronology of key events, which can be searched, filtered and shown as a visual or list view. Litigation teams get an early picture of the case sequence without assembling it by hand.

• Per-gigabyte pricing includes unlimited use of Cecilia AI across ediscovery, depositions and timelines, with no separate AI fee.
• Early case assessment and active review share one database, so documents move to review without a second workspace.
• Separate platform instances for the US, Canada and the EU, with EU hosting in Dublin and Canadian hosting in Toronto.
• Professional services for document review, forensic collection and managed services come from the same vendor as the software.

DISCO is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The platform has separate logins for the US, Canada and the EU.

Clarify the per-gigabyte rate, how processed data is measured and how additional storage is billed. For EU or Canadian matters, confirm in the contract that data stays in the Dublin or Toronto instance, since the vendor's hosting statements come from press releases dated 2018 and 2020. Ask how Auto Review suggestions are documented in case the other side challenges the defensibility of the review.
