What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have Briefpoint set up to automatically generate first-draft discovery responses — turning a 4–6 hour job into a 30–60 minute review process. You'll feed it the opposing party's discovery requests, and Briefpoint will generate properly formatted responses with standard objections already in place, leaving you to fill in the factual content.
What you'll need
- A Briefpoint account (free trial available at briefpoint.ai; paid plans start ~$79/month)
- The opposing party's discovery requests as a PDF or Word document
- Time needed: 30 minutes to set up, 15–30 minutes per discovery set going forward
- Cost: Free trial, then ~$79/month (check current pricing at briefpoint.ai)
