Litigation Chronology and Bundle Agent

The Litigation Chronology and Bundle Agent reads correspondence, pleadings, affidavits and evidence to build a chronology of facts, with every entry linked to its source document and page. It then indexes, orders and paginates bundles in line with the applicable practice directives, ready for upload to Court Online or CaseLines.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.

Facts you can find instantly

A chronology where every entry points to its source saves hours in consultation, drafting and cross-examination preparation.

Bundles that meet the directives

Court Online and CaseLines divisions expect properly indexed and paginated bundles. The agent follows your division's requirements so bundles are not rejected or criticised.

Relief for your juniors

Bundling is some of the most time-consuming work in litigation. The agent does the mechanical assembly so candidates and paralegals can do more valuable work.

Capabilities

A sourced chronology and court-ready bundle, without the late nights.

Built for litigation attorneys, candidate attorneys, paralegals, advocates and in-house dispute teams preparing matters in South African courts and arbitrations.

Document ingestion

Reads emails, letters, pleadings, affidavits, contracts and scanned evidence, including attachments, and extracts dates, parties and events.

Sourced chronology

Builds a chronology in Word or Excel with each event linked to the source document and page, and flags conflicting dates or accounts.

Issue tagging

Tags chronology entries by issue in dispute so you can filter facts for a particular claim, defence or witness.

Bundle indexing and pagination

Orders documents into pleadings, notices, affidavits and correspondence bundles, generates the index and applies consistent pagination.

Practice directive alignment

Applies the bundle requirements of your division's practice directives for Court Online or CaseLines, including sections and naming.

Updates as the matter moves

Adds new documents and events as the matter progresses and re-paginates bundles, keeping references in heads of argument aligned.

How it works

Deployment

Runs inside the tools your team already uses

The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.

Model Context Protocol

In the frontier assistant you already pay for

We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY

Your case documents stay yours.

The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your case documents. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.

Built for regulated work.
