AI Search in CaseGuard Studio allows users to quickly detect and redact Personal Identifiable Information (PII) across multiple documents using advanced AI models. By configuring the Watcher with the AI Search option, you can automatically analyze documents and identify sensitive data—such as names, emails, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and medical record numbers, without manual effort.
Once the Watcher is set up with your desired AI model, document language, and detection criteria, you can add documents to the Watcher. The Watcher will process and redact all files automatically, exporting the results to a designated Output folder. This functionality is ideal for large batches of documents and helps ensure PII is securely managed while saving significant time.
