Lawyer keeps research private inside a self-hosted case database

Vibe runs on-prem, searches internal case files, and drafts redaction-safe summaries without sending data to third parties.

Goal

Summarize precedent notes across 60 internal matters without exposing sensitive data.

Tooling

Self-hosted CRM, private document store, Vibe running with on-prem models.

Outcome

Research time reduced by 65% with auditable, redaction-safe summaries.

Workflow story

The lawyer asks Vibe: "Search our case database for prior matters related to multi-state data breaches. Summarize outcomes, cited statutes, and settlement ranges. Keep client names masked." Vibe navigates the internal CRM and document store, extracts relevant notes, and compiles a structured summary.

Because Vibe runs in a self-hosted environment, no data leaves the firm. The lawyer reviews the results, approves the redaction list, and forwards the summary to the team.

How it works

  1. Open the self-hosted case database and authenticate locally.
  2. Search for precedent matters by tags, statutes, or jurisdictions.
  3. Extract key outcomes, citations, and settlement ranges.
  4. Draft a redaction-safe summary for internal review.
  5. Approve and share the summary with the legal team.

What Vibe handled

  • • Opened related documents and extracted key citations.
  • • Generated a redaction-safe summary with traceable sources.
  • • Logged the workflow for audit review.

Why privacy mattered

The firm cannot send case details to external AI vendors. Vibe's local or self-hosted mode lets them keep client data on-prem while still benefiting from automation.

Result

The team delivered a defensible research packet within hours, without risking confidentiality or compliance exposure.
