Prevail CheckMate
San Diego, California, United States
What it is
Prevail CheckMate combines live deposition transcription, collaborative notes, and AI analysis in a workspace for legal teams. Its searchable transcription identifies speakers during in-person, hybrid, and remote proceedings. Users can format and share notes, tag colleagues, and communicate with their team during a proceeding. CheckMate can send live transcripts and notes through a secure API integration to an organization’s chosen LLM; listed providers include Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI/Copilot, Consilio, and Ollama (Local). Prevail also offers a native AI option that requires no third-party provider account, API key, or setup. Users can search uploaded files and include relevant passages and file names in responses, then continue with follow-up questions in CheckMate Chat. The browser-based member platform includes sessions, transcripts, file storage, session review, and administrative tools. CheckMate must be requested when scheduling a session, and additional fees apply. Prevail says customer data is not used to train AI models without explicit permission and states that it maintains SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, as well as federal Authorizations to Operate.
