“BriefCatch 4 also reflects our deliberate and careful approach to AI,” Guberman continued. “Our enterprise customers must opt in to our AI features before they are made available, and individual users may activate AI separately for each document. All AI processing is in a private environment on Microsoft Azure; documents are never stored during or after processing; and document content is never used to train AI models.”
