FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is DigitalPI?
DigitalPI™ is an AI-assisted research and organization tool for criminal case documents. It reads police reports, discovery, and transcripts, builds a timeline, compares accounts, surfaces possible inconsistencies and missing materials, and generates a source-cited investigative report for independent review. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Can AI review police reports?
Yes. DigitalPI™ extracts the text of police reports — including scanned pages via OCR — and organizes the narrative so you can follow the sequence of events and the stated basis for each action. When multiple documents are uploaded, it compares them and flags apparent conflicts, each cited to the page. Every finding should still be verified against the original document.
What documents can DigitalPI review?
Police reports, supplemental and arrest reports, search warrants and affidavits, CAD and dispatch logs, body-camera and interview transcripts, lab reports, property and search inventories, indictments, complaints, and court filings. Supported file types include PDF, Word, images, and text files.
Can DigitalPI identify inconsistencies in police reports?
It can surface possible inconsistencies — for example, when one document describes an event differently than another, or when a timeline does not line up. These are flagged as prompts for review and cited to the exact page. A flagged item is not a conclusion; documents can differ for legitimate reasons.
Does DigitalPI provide legal advice?
No. DigitalPI™ does not provide legal advice, does not determine guilt or innocence, and is not a substitute for a licensed attorney. It organizes information and identifies issues for you to review with qualified counsel.
Is DigitalPI a private investigator?
No. DigitalPI™ is a software tool, not a licensed private investigator. It applies a disciplined, document-focused review methodology, but it does not conduct field investigation and does not replace a professional investigator.
Who should use DigitalPI?
Defendants, families, defense teams, investigators, attorneys, and researchers who want to understand a criminal case by getting the documents organized and reviewed carefully.
Can families use DigitalPI if a defendant has a public defender?
Yes. Many families use DigitalPI™ to understand the record and prepare informed questions for the defense team. It is meant to support, not replace, the work of a public defender or private attorney.
Can someone representing themselves use DigitalPI?
Yes. People representing themselves (pro se or pro per) can use DigitalPI™ to organize discovery, build a timeline, and produce a structured report. It does not provide legal advice, and consulting an attorney is strongly encouraged whenever possible.
What does the final investigative report contain?
A structured summary of the case, a timeline, a comparison analysis (conflicts, unanswered questions, possible constitutional issues, and investigative leads), and a list of materials that appear to be missing — with every finding cited to the source page. It is provided as PDF and Word exports.
How much does a DigitalPI case review cost?
DigitalPI™ uses one-time, per-case pricing with no subscription. The full review for a case is $197. See the pricing page for what is included.
How are uploaded criminal case documents processed?
Each document is uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, tied to your account and case, and processed page by page. Text is extracted, scanned pages are read with OCR, and documents are categorized. Access is restricted to your account. Findings should always be independently verified.
Should an attorney or investigator review the results?
Yes. DigitalPI™ is designed to help you prepare — its output should be reviewed with a licensed attorney or professional investigator, who can weigh the findings and decide how to act on them.
