Explore the exciting transformation of our brand as we now become amaise. This announcement reveals how we came to our new identity, an inevitable step towards the evolution of our platform and international expansion. Discover how this change signifies our commitment to growth and internationalization.

Proud to announce: legal-i is now amaise

Is it possible for a company to outgrow its name? In our case, the answer is a resounding yes. Over the past three years, we’ve grown from a focused legal tech startup into a trusted AI platform for claims professionals handling complex bodily injuries. As our solution expanded and our ambitions grew, we realized that “legal-i” no longer reflected everything we do​. The name that once fit us so well had become a bit too limited for our growing vision. So, we made a bold decision: we changed our name. legal-i is now amaise.

The new name reflects both our broader value proposition and our international ambitions. While “legal-i” served us well in our early years, it no longer captures the full scope of who we are and what we offer. Our solution today is used not only by legal departments but across P&C insurers, life insurers, disability offices, and independent medical examiners (IMEs) -  in short, by any organization that deals with bodily injury claims and needs to make sense of complex medical, legal and professional data quickly, securely, and accurately.

“In Switzerland, we’ve built strong momentum with a growing customer and user base and consistently positive feedback,” says Achim Kohli, co-founder and CEO of amaise. “As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we’re seeing rising interest in our solution from other markets, and we’re ready to scale. Rebranding to amaise is a natural step to reflect our expanded mission and our international outlook.”

Introducing the amaise agenticAI Platform and CasePilot

As part of our evolution from legal-i to amaise, we’re also expanding our product suite to meet growing international demand. We are launching two new platforms: amaise agenticAI Platform and amaise CasePilot, which are major steps in faster, more intelligent and automated bodily injury claims processing. 

agenticAI Platform

The amaise agenticAI Platform powers AI-driven insights across structured and unstructured medical, legal, professional and financial data, supporting claims professionals with intelligent, secure, and compliant automation. Built to scale, it seamlessly integrates into existing systems and adapts to local workflows. 

Our secure, compliant, cloud-based SaaS platform seamlessly integrates into primary systems, streamlining your workflow and improving collaboration without excessive model training. It is also highly customizable to fit your internal processes.

agenticAI Platform - how it works


Step 1 - Upload your claim files 

Use our zero-integration workspaces to upload your claim files or automate this process by integrating the amaise agenticAI Platform into your primary systems. Our SDK allows you to integrate easily and quickly into your existing environment.


Step 2 - Let our AI extract the CaseDNA
Our GenAI pipeline will instantly start quickly and accurately processing your claim, converting data into usable and searchable formats, extracting and contextualizing valuable information, deduplicating records, and uncovering connections inside the claim.

Step 3 - Start Navigating the Claim with Ease

By reviewing our pre-configured best practice dashboards and enhanced medical summaries, asking questions, or browsing through the claim file with our augmented AI document viewer, you can easily find the correct information and quickly make decisions.

Step 4 - External Expertise

Consult with your experts or external service providers using our integrated, secure, and compliant collaboration tool. This ensures you have all the support you need to get answers and make decisions as quickly and precisely as possible.

CasePilot


Our latest product, CasePilot, combines document-level and claim-level intelligence in one intuitive interface. With configurable dashboards and AI-powered Q&A, CasePilot empowers professionals to focus on decisions, not data gathering. “We’ve built a platform that’s not just intelligent, but genuinely helpful,” says Markus Baumgartner, co-founder and CTO of amaise. “Our AI agents don’t replace professionals; they augment them, helping claims teams make better decisions with less friction, no matter the scale.”
