In this episode of "Legal Document Processing with Azure AI," we discussed how Azure AI is transforming legal document processing. Legal professionals often grapple with the time-consuming task of manually handling extensive paperwork, which can lead to inefficiencies and errors. Azure AI introduces a robust solution by automating these processes, significantly enhancing productivity and accuracy in legal settings.We start with Azure Form Recognizer, a tool that automates data extraction from complex documents such as client intake forms. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) and advanced machine learning to quickly and accurately extract essential information, converting hours of manual data entry into minutes.Next, we explore Azure Cognitive Search, which revolutionizes document retrieval by using natural language processing to understand the context and semantics of queries, delivering highly relevant search results.Additionally, we discuss the role of Azure Cosmos DB in providing scalable and secure document storage solutions, ensuring compliance and efficient data retrieval.Lastly, Azure Functions automate complex document processing tasks, allowing legal professionals to focus on more strategic work. This episode underscores the necessity of adopting AI technologies to enhance legal practices.

Build highly scalable applications using the distributed Postgres relational database in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL. See how it works with current Postgres tools, how to scale out with distributed tables and nodes to keep apps responsive, and how to eliminate latency with geo-replication capabilities for globally distributed apps. Cosmos DB has a variety of APIs, including native NoSQL and compatible APIs, targeted at NoSQL workloads. With the introduction of Postgres, Cosmos DB offers relational capabilities— a key cornerstone for application developers. With distributed Postgres in Cosmos DB, you can build highly scalable, cloud native apps using NoSQL and relational capabilities within a single managed service. Principal Group Program Manager, Charles Feddersen, from the Cosmos DB team joins Jeremy Chapman to walk you through the process.
