⚡ TL;DR

Tillion Conversational Data Room (CDR) is a new category of AI workspace that transforms how legal and corp dev teams work with their documents - turning static data into dynamic, expert-level insights instantly.


New Doorway to Legal and Deal Intelligence

In high-stakes legal and corporate development work, information isn't just stored - it’s interrogated. Traditional and Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs) are passive: folders, PDFs, spreadsheets, and static disclosures. 

But what if your team could talk to the data room - and get expert-level answers, instantly?

Tillion is pioneering the Conversational Data Room™ (CDR™): a next-generation workspace powered by AI that understands your documents, workflows, and context. It’s not just a repository. It’s your collaborator.

Why “Conversational” Changes Everything

Tillion CDRreplaces document search, cross-team pings, and long review cycles with a simple prompt:

  • “What are the key IP risks in this acquisition?”
  • “Summarize the privacy clauses across these 14 contracts.”
  • “Draft an assignment clause based on our current playbook.”
  • “Compare cap table implications across these merger scenarios.”

Instead of hoping someone remembers where to look - or what the last version said - your AI Agent in the Conversational Data Room returns structured answers, documents, tasks, or drafted language you can immediately use.

It’s like having expert counsel always on call, minus the lag or legal fees.

Built for the Pace of In-House Teams

In-house legal and corp dev teams are under constant pressure. The Conversational Data Room is built to directly solve their biggest challenges:

  • Speed is critical - delays kill deals (and promotions) → Get instant answers with specific references and generated drafts - without waiting days for responses.
  • Institutional knowledge is buried across decks, docs, and inboxes → Centralize everything into a smart, query-ready workspace.
  • Outside counsel is expensive - and often slows down the process → Execute more in-house, faster, and at a fraction of the cost.

It’s not just about faster search → it’s about better execution.
