ChatGPT is a general-purpose model that writes text from whatever you paste. DueCounsel is a secure legal workspace that stores every document, matter, and deadline in a tenant-scoped knowledge graph so you can search/chat with citations and record the deadlines you trust — legacy extraction tables stay view-only for context.

What gets extracted
DueCounsel identifies and labels every actionable item so your team reviews structured output, not raw document text.
Deadlines
Filing windows, response dates, compliance dates
Court dates
Hearings, conferences, scheduled appearances
Required actions
What must be done and by whom
Filing dates
Document submission and service deadlines
Obligations
Court-ordered and contractual requirements
Confidence score
High / Medium / Low per extraction
Example output
Each extraction maps the source sentence to a deadline, required action, and confidence score.
| Source text (from document) | Extracted deadline | Action item | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Rule 20(1)(a) — respondent shall serve a response within 20 days of service." | Apr 28, 2026 | Serve response to motion | High |
| "Order dated March 12 — affidavit of documents to be exchanged by May 9." | May 9, 2026 | Exchange affidavit of documents | High |
| "Case conference order — parties shall attempt mediation by May 30, 2026." | May 30, 2026 | Schedule and attend mediation | Medium |

Built for lawyer review
DueCounsel is not a replacement for legal judgment. Every extraction shows its source sentence and confidence score so you can confirm, edit, or dismiss each item before it reaches your calendar or workflow.
