Testimonial
"At ClaimWise, we work with complex patents and scientific articles. Meeting the quality expectations of our users has always been one of our main technical challenges. The Contextual Al reranker's instruction-following capability is great; we have some nuanced requirements about how to prioritize different types of paragraphs for different fields of invention, and the reranker follows those instructions well."
