New agentic AI approach redefines what speed means in legal tech—processing over 40,000 documents per hour, several times faster than legacy systems. Â
CHENNAI, India, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Exterro, the leader in unified data risk management, today unveiled its latest innovation of Exterro Intelligence, Exterro Assist for Data, that is purposely designed to deliver more secure, reliable, actionable and accurate results. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been embedded in the Exterro data risk management platform for more than a decade through technologies such as Smart Labeling, Contextual Insights, and image and video recognition, this latest advancement changes the game by leveraging domain-specific AI agents.
The innovative methodology is an intelligent system specifically designed for legal, privacy, security, and governance teams to act with purpose and context. This next generation of Exterro Intelligence is available today and is embedded in the new Exterro Assist for Data capability. Over time, the agentic approach to Exterro Intelligence will be applied across the Exterro data risk management platform including its legal hold, digital forensics and incident response, and data privacy and governance products.
“With the launch of the next generation of Exterro Intelligence, Exterro isn’t just keeping pace with AI innovation, they’re solving problems for their customers. This is one of the more advanced, agentic AI applications I’ve seen for managing data risks. The agentic approach in Exterro Assist for Data reduces security concerns while delivering faster, more accurate, and auditable results,” said Ryan O’Leary, Research Director, Privacy and Legal Technology, IDC.

“Our mission is to disrupt the status quo for protecting organizations from digital risk,” said Exterro Founder and CEO, Bobby Balachandran. “While the rest of the industry focuses on using third-party models such as OpenAI as a wrapper for their artificial intelligence, or talking about the concept of agentic AI, we are delivering actual solutions that lower risk, reduce cost and increase speed, security, and control. By owning and controlling every layer of our technology stack, we deliver greater stability, consistent results, and a transparent cost structure ensuring that advanced AI is accessible without hidden or unpredictable pricing. The future of AI is agentic AI and Exterro is leading the way.”
Under the Hood of Exterro Intelligence in Exterro Assist for Data Review
In her influential 2025 AI report, Mary Meeker identifies agentic interfaces, enterprise copilots, and sovereign systems as defining the next wave of enterprise AI. Exterro Intelligence delivers on this vision, providing lightning-fast, auditable results that meet the rigorous demands of legal and compliance operations. With Exterro Intelligence, Exterro’s development team of over 500 engineers have reimagined how teams can quickly achieve fast, verifiable outcomes that satisfy stringent legal and compliance requirements related to high stakes data challenges.
Exterro Intelligence deploys true agentic AI that enables professionals to utilize domain-specific, autonomous expert agents to help manage and execute legal, privacy, and security workflows with speed, precision, and traceability. It ensures that the data under review process remains in one secure environment throughout its lifecycle.
