Brief One

Overview

Brief One is an AI-powered evidence summary, review, and analysis tool that helps attorneys and law enforcement save time.

Brief One provides concise evidence summaries with ethical safeguards backed by the source evidence. If more details are required, Brief One helps you quickly see a timeline of key transcript moments. You can select a key transcript moment and supporting details to instantly go to the corresponding point in the evidence for fast review.

Access to Brief One depends on your organization's plan:

  • Brief One is included with the AI Era Plan.
  • Reach out to your Axon representative to access this AI product feature.

AI evidence summaries

AI evidence summaries automatically generate a concise narrative summary (less than 150 words), capturing key details from the evidence for supported evidence types. You can generate an AI summary for evidence that has already been uploaded by selecting Generate Summary.

  • Audio and video: A summary is generated from the transcript
  • Images and documents: A summary is generated from the content of the file.

Note

If the audio is too short, an AI generated summary may not show as a result.
