Request a DemoThe Role of AI in Workplace Investigation Reporting
Creating case summaries and timelines is the ideal place to start for using AI in your workplace investigations. This stage involves pulling together all your evidence, supporting documentation, and findings, and gathering and formatting that information can be tedious and takes time away from other investigative tasks.
Do you ever worry you’ve forgotten a key piece of case information in your investigation report? Especially if you’re working on a case that could be subject to a legal or regulatory audit? Using AI for workplace investigations ensures you include everything you and other stakeholders need in the case summary.
In short, your team will be able to produce final investigation reports faster and in a consistent format, leaving you more time to spend on non-administrative work.
Ensuring AI Data Privacy: Will My Case Data Be Safe Using AI?
With any new practice or technology, it’s natural to have questions and concerns. Keeping case data secure is a top priority, especially when using AI. Here’s how we plan to protect your organization’s sensitive information:
- Clairia leverages strict data isolation protocols and does not use your inputs or outputs for model training or third-party product improvement.
- Clairia guarantees end-to-end data protection, keeping your information fully secure and compliant with the highest privacy standards.
These precautions ensure that data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and reduce your organization’s risk of a non-compliance penalty with data security regulators.
How to Write Investigation Reports with Clairia, Case IQ’s AI Assistant
When you’ve completed a case and are ready to generate your final investigation report, it’s time to use Clairia, Case IQ’s AI assistant. Simply open Clairia on the side of your case file and give it a prompt: in this case “Create a timeline of this case” or “Write a final report of this case.”
Clairia then creates the requested document using case context and by referencing your library of internal files, policies, and documents. It can even offer guidance for next steps and suggestions for information you might have missed! Clairia helps reduce busywork and errors and improves consistency, all while allowing the human investigators to maintain oversight of the final case product.

Overcoming Challenges in AI-Driven Workplace Investigations
Every new technology comes with both benefits and challenges. Because AI is so powerful but also still new and “learning”), many people are especially cautious about adopting it into their everyday investigative processes.
One major issue many organizations have with AI is the biases that can occur in the models. Biases can lead to inaccurate and unfair investigation outcomes, which not only hurt employees, but can lead to non-compliance penalties and lawsuits if the employee challenges you. To overcome this, be sure to use an AI tool that is trained on data that’s as objective as possible.
How heavily to rely on AI tools is another debated topic. They can do a lot of work in a short time, but are not guaranteed to produce perfect results every time. Checking the tool’s “work” is key in every case, but especially when dealing with compliance violations, sensitive issues such as harassment, or in industries where an improper investigation could have hugely negative consequences (e.g., pharmaceuticals, manufacturing).
Human investigators will continue to work alongside AI copilots, either in a “coworker” or “manager” role to ensure that investigative processes and outcomes comply with internal policies, external regulations, and industry best practices.
Comparing AI Investigation Tools: What to Look for in 2025
It seems like every day a new AI tool is released, making investigators’ jobs easier than ever. But how do you know which is right for your team and company?
First, consider the features that you value most. These could include things like:
- Translation capabilities
- Summarization and report generation
- Data analysis
- AI-powered reporting mechanisms
- Action suggestions based on internal policies and historic similar cases
So, are AI tools for investigative teams worth the money? To determine this, you must calculate how many resources (working hours and budget) are spent on the work done by the tool.
For example, say you want an AI tool that summarizes your cases into a tidy report, like Case IQ’s AI assistant, Clairia.
- How much time does it take one investigator to write a report like this manually?
- How long does it take other team members to edit and approve the report?
- The cost of the manual process is each team member’s hourly wage multiplied by the number of hours it takes to complete the task.
- What else can the tool do? (Clairia can answer questions, offer guidance, draft interview questions, and much more in addition to summary writing)
Chances are high that an AI tool, which can generate an error-free report in minutes, costs less.
