Release Notes: Automate OCG Processing with AI-Powered Rule Extraction

We're excited to introduce OCG Compliance Extraction—a powerful new capability that transforms how you configure compliance rules from Outside Council Guidelines (OCGs). Instead of spending weeks manually transcribing compliance requirements from dense legal documents, you can now upload OCG PDFs, review AI-extracted rules, and deploy validated rules to your compliance engine in minutes.

What's Changing

Before: Manual OCG processing required extensive time to read through PDF documents, transcribe rules, and configure compliance settings—often taking 15+ minutes per document with no source traceability and high risk of transcription errors.

After: Upload all of your OCG PDFs, let AI extract time-based compliance rules ready for your review and validation in an intuitive side-by-side interface, and deploy approved rules to your compliance engine—reducing processing time significantly.

Key Benefits

⚡ Autonomous Configuration in Minutes Upload OCG documents and map them to the correct client or matter level, then let AI handle the heavy lifting of rule extraction. Process typical 20-50 page documents within 2 minutes while you focus on validation rather than manual transcription.

🎯 Human-Validated Accuracy Review every extracted rule alongside the original source document in a split-screen interface. Edit any rule property, add missing rules, remove incorrect extractions, and see clear visual indicators distinguishing AI-extracted rules from your modifications—all before deployment.

📊 Comprehensive Compliance Coverage AI automatically classifies extracted rules into three structured categories: Enforced rules (with Block, Acknowledge, Warn, or Off recommendations), Awareness rules (with titles and descriptions), and Restricted Word Groups (with associated warning messages).

🚀 Platform-Wide Improvements Deployed rules feed directly into your compliance engine, enriching Laurel with comprehensive rule datasets that power superior real-time compliance detection and more accurate GenAI narrative generation during the timekeeping process.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to the OCG Compliance section in your Laurel dashboard
2. Upload your OCG PDF documents (up to 50 at once)
3. Map each document to the appropriate client or matter
4. Initiate extraction and review AI-extracted rules
5. Edit, validate, and approve rules for deployment

Important Notes

• Supported formats: PDF documents only (up to 10MB per file)
• Mapping: Each document maps to a single client or matter (not both)
• Post-deployment: Rules become read-only after approval; edit them through your standard compliance settings if changes are needed
• Document management: Delete documents at any stage before approval; approved documents are preserved for audit integrity
