02[ How it works ]

From first contact to a screened disclosure, without the back-and-forth.

The intake work that used to take calls, emails and reminders happens before an attorney opens the file.

  1. 01Invite

    Inventors start on your site

    Send a link to an intake page that carries your firm’s name, on your own subdomain if you want it.

  2. 02Capture

    Interview or upload

    The inventor talks through the invention with an AI interviewer, or uploads drafts, slides and lab notes for Insight Mechanics to read.

  3. 03Structure

    Each invention, separated

    If one submission describes more than one invention, each is identified and written up as its own disclosure.

  4. 04Deliver

    IDF with prior art attached

    Your team receives disclosures in your firm’s IDF template, with a preliminary prior-art search already run.

03[ Platform ]

Complete, consistent disclosures from every inventor.

Standardised intake means each disclosure arrives with the same depth, in the same structure, whoever submitted it.

01Interview

Asks what your attorneys would ask

Each question follows from the last answer and probes for what disclosures usually leave out: what is new, how it works, what came before. Every inventor covers the same ground, so fewer files need a follow-up call.

02Multi-invention

Finds every invention in a submission

A single interview or document set often holds more than one idea. Insight Mechanics separates them and builds a structured record for each.

03Prior art

A first search before you open the file

Submitting the IDF starts a preliminary prior-art search, so the first attorney review begins with the closest references already in hand.

04Your brand

Presented as your firm

Run intake at an address like intake.yourfirm.com. Inventors deal with your firm throughout, not with a vendor.

05Documents

Reads what inventors already wrote

Inventors with existing write-ups can upload them instead. Each file is read and its content mapped into the disclosure, with questions only for the gaps.

06Output

Your IDF, field for field

Disclosures come out in your firm’s own invention disclosure form, ready for review and docketing without reformatting.

04[ Data control ]

No third party ever sees a disclosure.

Unpublished inventions are your clients’ most sensitive material. Every part of Insight Mechanics that touches them is our own.

  • No third-party data sharing. Guaranteed, with no exceptions for analytics or model providers.
  • Proprietary models, hosted by us. The interview, document reading and search all run on AI we built, host and serve.
  • No outside AI APIs. Inventor answers and documents are never sent to an external model.

[ Attorney time ]

Spend attorney hours on IP strategy and claims, not on intake.
