Published On

Event Timeline Generation helps you understand what happened, when, and in what order—without digging through hours of video or pages of transcripts. It automatically extracts and organizes key events from interviews, testimony, and related evidence.

What is Event Timeline Generation?

This feature uses AI to detect and sequence major events mentioned during an interview. The result is a clear, interactive timeline showing who did what, when, where, and why—built in near real-time and ready for immediate use.

When to Use It

  • After any interview or interrogation
  • When comparing conflicting testimonies
  • To support timeline-based case summaries
  • During case briefings or courtroom prep

How It Works

  1. Complete an interview
    Once the session ends, the system begins processing the transcript.
  2. Event detection begins automatically
    Key actions, people, locations, and times are extracted from the dialogue.
  3. Timeline is generated and displayed
    Events are ordered chronologically and labeled with descriptive titles.
  4. Click to explore any event
    Select an event to view the related video clip, transcript segment, or ask AI follow-up questions using the built-in LASER panel.
  5. Use the timeline in your case file
    The timeline is linked directly to the interview report and can be exported.

What You'll See

  • Clean, scrollable timeline of events
  • Event cards showing timestamps, participants, and locations
  • Contradictory or overlapping events flagged for review
  • Quick access to video or transcript for each event

Smart Tips

  • Great for visual learners and case briefings
  • Combine with LASER Search to drill deeper into specific events
