Where Autessa wins
Why teams choose Autessa Redact over Redactable
A reason on every suggestion
Each AI suggestion shows why it was proposed and stays pending, and the file cannot be burned while any suggestion is undecided.
Redaction as steps you own
Extract Text, Detect Patterns, Locate Spans and Burn Redactions chain into your own pipeline, with a decision cache for duplicates, and no Enterprise API tier to reach for.
Ask Claude to prepare the release
Through the Autessa MCP, Claude or your own agent can run the document tools and work with the redacted copy in Drive, within the access of whoever connected it.
Fit it to your rules
Ask Autobot to add a detector for your case numbers, change the review screen or add a sign-off step, down to the code. Your developers can edit it directly.
