Changelog

March 2026

Introducing Case Memory — March 8

Today we introduced Case Memory, a new feature that allows you to store and retrieve information about your legal cases, with complete isolation per case. Case Memory is stored in your secure workspace and retrieved for future sessions (of the same case), giving agents continuity across interactions as you support your clients. The benefit is that you're not repeating yourself, or having to re-upload documents. As the case file grows, so does the context available to the AI agents, allowing them to support you and your clients more effectively.

Document Splitter v3 — March 6

Our Document Splitter has been rebuilt with an upgraded processing pipeline with a structured extraction chain that improves boundary detection accuracy and handles complex document formats like multi-section medical records. Our document classification has also been tuned to address a greater variety of document types with specificity.

Agentic AI Performance Improvements — March 5

Today we released a new backend for our Agentic AI agents across the entire platform, including Workers' Compensation, Legal Research, Medical Ratings, and more. This new backend is more scalable, reliable, and maintainable than the previous implementation. It also includes better error handling and improved streaming reliability.

Speech-to-Text Dictation — March 3

Say what? We launched real-time speech-to-text dictation for legal workflows using a custom architecture with Speech-to-Text. Attorneys can dictate notes, memos, and instructions directly into the platform with live transcriptions and real-time audio processing. All audio is processed in memory and never stored on disk, with complete user isolation, adhering to SOC 2 Type 2, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and HIPAA requirements for data security and privacy.

Multi-Factor Authentication (TOTP) — March 1

For added security, Kanawai AI now supports optional Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication. Users can enroll an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) for a second layer of sign-in security, with enrollment managed from the Profile page.

February 2026

Legal Document Templates — February 27

Kanawai AI now supports customer-uploaded legal document templates (e.g., depositions, cover/top sheets, demand letters, discovery requests, motions). Templates integrate with Kanawai AI platform's AI agents to auto-populate case-specific content. This allows Kanawai AI to use formatting you are already familiar with for your legal documents - so our platform can generate documents that match your existing style and branding.

Cloud File Indexing — February 26

Built an automated document file indexing pipeline that catalogs all uploaded files across Kanawai AI Cloud Storage into a searchable index with full metadata — enabling file activity tracking, search, and file management at scale. This is the foundation for future AI-powered document analysis and retrieval features. It is fully isolated per user, in compliance with SOC 2 Type 2, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and HIPAA requirements for data security and privacy.

Dashboard Orchestrator — February 23

Kanawai AI is introducing a newly redesigned dashboard interface. It features a universal chat prompt bar that uses agentic AI to automatically route user questions to the correct AI agent for specific outcomes. For example, users can ask a question using natural language, and Kanawai AI determines whether it's a Workers' Compensation inquiry, a document workflow, or a legal research query.

AI Dashboard Widgets — February 23

Added three interactive quick-action widgets to the dashboard: Document Summarizer, Document Splitter, and Legal Research. Users can now trigger key AI workflows directly from the home screen without navigating to dedicated pages.

Microsoft OneDrive Integration — February 23

Microsoft OneDrive has been added as a fully supported cloud file source alongside Google Drive and Dropbox. Kanawai AI users can now view, search, and attach files from OneDrive directly within the Kanawai AI platform. This is a significant step forward in our mission to provide a seamless and integrated experience for legal professionals. We will continue to provide deeper integration with Microsoft 365 in the coming months.

Kanawai AI User Interface Overhaul — February 22

Recognizing that user experience is paramount to productivity, we redesigned the navigation with a collapsible sidebar for improved screen real estate, restructured all application routes for clarity, and polished the UI across the entire platform. We're committed to making Kanawai AI easy to use and avoiding friction.

Notification Center — February 19

To provide timely updates on task assignments, document processing completions, and other system events, we introduced an in-app notification system for real-time alerts, ensuring users never miss critical updates. Notifications are available now in the Kanawai AI platform.

Google Tasks & Microsoft To Do Sync — February 19

Integrating with major task management systems, we deployed two-way synchronization between Kanawai AI Tasks and Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do. Users can connect their existing Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do accounts and keep everything in sync across platforms via secure, encrypted authentication using OAuth.

Tasks & Task Management — February 11

Today, Kanawai AI debuted a full task management system with categories, priorities, due dates, and status tracking. Tasks can be assigned, filtered, and sorted — giving legal teams a native way to track to-do list items alongside their AI workflows. This is the first step in Kanawai AI becoming a full-featured legal practice management platform.

January 2026

Legal Document Splitter — January 30

Today Kanawai AI released a our initial Document Splitting workflow for "jumbo" PDFs — multi-document bundles common in litigation. Kanawai AI's Document Splitter can intelligently detect document boundaries and separate them into individual files, saving hours of manual paralegal work.

Document Summarizer — January 29

You asked for it, and now Kanawai AI has released a standalone Document Summarizer tool that lets users upload legal documents (e.g., PDFs, DOCX, scanned images) and receive robust AI-generated summaries. We worked with attorneys and litigators to understand key requirements of document summarization for legal professionals. Supports multi-cloud file sources including Google Drive and Dropbox.

Cloud Storage Provider Support: File Attachments — January 26

Kanawai AI users can now attach files from cloud storage providers (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) and from their local devices directly into Kanawai AI chat conversations. Attached files are securely processed by our agentic AI for context-aware analysis, while preserving confidentiality and security with data isolation. Your data is never used to train any AI models.

AI Chat with Charts & Data Visualization — January 25

Sometimes words aren't enough, and chart visualizations put perspective on the numbers. Today we've introduced in-chat chart rendering within Kanawai AI chat conversations and AI workflows. AI responses that include structured data — bar charts, line graphs, pie charts — are now displayed as interactive visualizations directly inside the conversation. Optionally, the diagrams can be saved or exported for your own use. We'll be working on improving the chart rendering and adding more chart types in the coming months.

Kanawai AI Case Law Search — January 22

Legal analysis doesn't always rely on exact keyword matches. Sometimes you need to find relevant precedents using plain-language queries. Today we've launched semantic search across 8.3 million pre-indexed legal case records in our data warehouse. Powered by pre-computed text embeddings and vector similarity scoring, attorneys can now find relevant precedents using plain-language queries instead of exact keyword matching.

Case law and records are automatically included in Kanawai AI E-Discovery workflows and chat conversations. In seconds, we can provide relevant precedents that would take hours to find using traditional keyword search methods. This includes case law from the U.S. Federal Courts, as well as state courts, with precision down to the ruling judge, case citations, and jurisdiction.
