Thelonious Research
Every Other AI Starts with the Web.
Thelonious Starts With
The Verified Record.
Thelonious Research is not a chatbot. It is an AI legal research assistant with direct access to a curated, human-verified database of more than 6,700 cases, regulations, vendors, foundation models, services and licensing deals across 145+ jurisdictions — and to the web, when you need wider context.

It Starts With Our Database.
Not With Google.
Ask a complex legal question in plain language. Thelonious Research searches the entire verified Thelonious database first and returns a structured, sourced answer — drawing on the web for wider context where it helps, or whenever you ask it to.
The Question That Would Take Your Team Two Days To Answer.
Ask Thelonious Research the kind of question that usually means hours of manual trawling — all active copyright cases in the EU, the regulatory posture of every G7 market, every known licensing deal involving a major foundation model. Type it in plain English. Thelonious Research understands legal context.
A built-in prompt library of legal-grade queries gets you to the right question in one click — even if you’re not sure how to frame it yet. And when a question needs wider context, ask it to search the web too.
Not A Summary. A Briefing You Can Put Your Name To.
Thelonious Research doesn’t return a paragraph and call it done. It returns structured tables — sortable by jurisdiction, status, date, claim type — with a link to the original source record on every row. Open the record, filter the table, export what you need.
Every record in the Thelonious database is verified by a qualified legal professional before it enters. The output is only as reliable as the data behind it — which is why Research always starts with the verified record, and why every row links back to its source.
Built on the verified record
Every Record. Checked By A Person.
Most AI research tools start and end with the internet. Thelonious Research starts with a proprietary, curated database you won’t find anywhere else — and every record in it passed through a qualified legal or policy professional before it was added.
That’s the difference between raw output and intelligence you can put your name to.
Database
What it searches
Six Categories. One Query.
Thelonious Research queries all six categories of the verified database at once — more than 6,700 records — so you get the complete picture without running six separate searches. And when you need wider context, it can search the web too.
