For firms running iManage

AI assistant for firms running iManage

Datagnome builds and manages AI assistants that answer questions directly from a firm's own policies, documentation and systems — so people stop hunting for information that already exists.

The problem iManage does not solve on its own

A document management system stores what the firm knows. It does not answer the question a person actually asked — about timekeeping, IT, an HR policy, or who to even ask about something. Datagnome sits in front of the knowledge and answers in plain language, in Microsoft Teams, Slack or web chat.

A common starting point: onboarding

One frequent use is new hire onboarding, where the assistant walks incoming employees through a "welcome to the firm" sequence covering the policies and resources they need on day one.

Someone has to maintain it

An assistant nobody maintains drifts out of date quietly: policies get superseded, owners change, and it keeps answering confidently from last year’s document. Datagnome operates that upkeep for its clients — curating what goes into the knowledge base, reviewing what the assistant gets wrong, and updating it as the firm changes.

Guardrails and scoped access

Every deployment runs on a layered set of guardrails: a standard baseline built into the platform, plus additional rules tailored to each firm's policies and risk tolerance. A firm's assistant only reaches the systems and data that firm chooses to connect. There is no default access to anything outside the assigned scope, and any topic requiring credentials stays gated.

What it is not

Datagnome is not built for legal research, e-discovery or case work. The focus is internal operations — the HR, IT and administrative questions that quietly eat into billable hours every day.

Proof from firms already using it

• Saul Ewing and Nelson Mullins are among the firms already trusting Datagnome.
• Since the start of 2026, Nelson Mullins employees have logged thousands of sessions with the firm's Datagnome-powered assistant — branded internally as "Ask Nelson" and available in Microsoft Teams — which has understood and answered 88 percent of questions asked.
• A library of nearly 1,000 real questions curated from firm knowledge management teams gives every new client a running start instead of a blank page.

Frequently asked

Does Datagnome connect to iManage?

Yes. Datagnome connects to iManage and answers questions from the policies, procedures and documentation held there.

A firm's assistant reaches only the systems and data that firm chooses to connect, and any topic requiring credentials stays gated.

Who maintains the knowledge base?

Datagnome does. The company curates what goes into the knowledge base, reviews what the assistant could not answer, works with the firm to fill the gaps and keeps it current as people and policies change.

Is this a legal research or e-discovery tool?

No. Datagnome is not built for legal research, e-discovery or case work. It is focused on internal operations such as HR, IT and administrative questions.

Where do people use it?

Wherever the firm already works — Microsoft Teams, Slack or web chat.
