Nexis+ AI’s conversational search makes research workflows effortless and reliable
LexisNexis Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of AI-powered analytics and decision tools, is accelerating the research and decisioning intelligence capabilities of its proprietary search technology, Nexis+ AI. Now, users can leverage conversation-based searching across the Nexis+ AI repository of licensed news publications and corporate data, greatly enhancing the research experience.
At the core of Nexis+ AI is a powerful business intelligence platform equipping researchers with AI-powered tools to accelerate and automate their workflows, from data discovery to document analysis, report synthesis, and news summarization. The introduction of conversational search continues to ease these workloads, enabling researchers to more effortlessly consume documentation by posing research questions to Nexis+ AI. Responses consist of multi-source information, accompanied by source citations for tracking response lineage.
“Conversational search allows Nexis+ AI users to engage with our industry-leading corporate data and global news content in ways that were never possible before, rapidly delivering valuable, trustworthy business insights that lead to faster, more accurate business decisioning and increased market competitiveness,” said Dani McCormick, vice president of product, Nexis Solutions. “Designing thoughtfully by respecting the integrity of publisher and user data enables us to deliver practical, time-saving AI solutions that solve a multitude of business challenges for our customers.”
Nexis+ AI’s conversational search capability is underpinned by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technologies, ensuring that responses are grounded within LexisNexis’ collection of data—which includes leading corporate data and global news content from publications such as The Associated Press, McClatchy, and Gannett. LexisNexis’ RAG strategy helps reduce AI hallucinations by driving greater precision and reliability of responses, which is further amplified by humans-in-the-loop strategies and a range of automated metrics to detect hallucinations and validate information relevance.
LexisNexis emphasizes its commitment to creating solutions that center transparency, security, privacy, and trust. In doing so, Nexis+ AI conversations are stored in a secure, encrypted environment, and are purged after 90 days to avoid unauthorized external access. Additionally, enterprise-fed information is not used to train foundational AI models.
LexisNexis’s Privacy-by-Design principles drive stringent adherence to compliance regulations and data protection and privacy laws. The company also follows the RELX Responsible AI Principles, a series of standards that address real-world impact, prevent unfair bias, and center explainability, accountability, and privacy in AI solutions.
