Beagle was founded in 2014. The founder, Cian O’Sullivan, is a completely self-taught lawyer and computer technology expert. The company applies machine learning and natural language processing technology to document review, which can help enterprises effectively and accurately process various professional contracts and legal documents. For many enterprises, document review based on risk and compliance management is extremely time-consuming and laborious, and the related costs are also rising. And AI is changing all that. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the application of document review is gradually increasing. Beagle, a start-up from Kitchener, Canada, is undoubtedly in the forefront of the world.

Now, with the help of machine learning and natural language processing technology, Beagle can establish the relationship between document information and regulatory systems through semantic analysis, and carry out corresponding cooperative reviews, reminders and instructions, report generation, etc. according to the company’s workflow. Beagle has become a world leading human intelligence document processing system company.
