The company will integrate the technology into two offerings: Energy Domain Courthouse, a companion to the Energy Domain Data tool, and an expanded standalone ClerkRecords.com platform, according to a press release.
Clerk Records founder and CEO Jason Smith will join Energy Domain Courthouse and ClerkRecords.com in an advisory role. Smith, who previously led one of the leading courthouse data providers, launched Clerk Records earlier this year to develop a more advanced, AI-driven system.
“A big part of collecting courthouse records is knowing how to work with hundreds of counties, understanding their formats and schedules, and having the personal relationships to actually get these documents,” said Energy Domain CEO Ben Heinzelmann. “Once you’ve got the documents, though, it’s all about the technology you use to index and integrate the data — and with Jason and Clerk Records, we’re getting the best of both worlds.”
Energy Domain plans to launch Energy Domain Courthouse soon and expand ClerkRecords.com for broader use. The company is currently indexing Texas records, with plans to add New Mexico and Louisiana and develop common-language search tools.
“With AI, we’re pulling details from every page and every clause,” Smith said. “That means our users can understand what the document actually says, and search on all those attributes.”
