NetDocuments launched in private preview on 14 May 2026 a redesigned platform built around a "legal context graph" — a continuously updated map of how every matter, document, and communication in a firm connects, built on AWS and Elastic infrastructure. A lawyer opening an unfamiliar matter now sees an automatically generated summary, key parties, activity timeline, firm precedent, and the names of colleagues who have handled similar work previously. The system operates through ndConnect MCP integrations with Claude, ChatGPT, and other external AI tools, meaning AI agents inside and outside NetDocuments can draw on full firm institutional knowledge rather than a single session's uploads. A broader rollout and June 9 webinar are planned. For midsized firms running NetDocuments as their DMS, this represents a qualitative shift from document storage to connected knowledge infrastructure.
