HaystackID CoreFlex Wins 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award for Advancing GenAI-Driven Legal Workflows

Editor’s Note: HaystackID® CoreFlex™ has been named a 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award winner by the Business Intelligence Group, specifically recognizing its use of generative AI (GenAI) to advance legal and investigative workflows. The award highlights technologies that apply AI to deliver clear, measurable impact, with CoreFlex selected for how it puts GenAI to work in real-world legal environments. The recognition comes as legal teams contend with growing data volumes, new data types, and increased scrutiny around how information is handled. GenAI is playing a larger role in this shift, but its effectiveness depends on how it is implemented within established processes. CoreFlex integrates GenAI directly into discovery and investigative workflows, supporting analysis and decision-making while maintaining structure and oversight. This award emphasizes the importance of applying GenAI in ways that hold up under operational demands and deliver consistent outcomes across matters.
