AI Mediator Arrives: Dyspute.ai Launches 24/7 Platform to Settle Disputes

DOVER, N.H. – January 13, 2026 – In a move poised to challenge the traditional timelines and costs of conflict resolution, Dyspute.ai today announced the launch of Adri V2, an AI-powered mediation platform designed to operate around the clock, without the need for live meetings or human intervention. The platform’s core innovation is Adri, an AI mediator persona that actively guides disputing parties through a structured, asynchronous process from initial complaint to final settlement.

By eliminating the need to coordinate schedules for conference calls or in-person sessions, Dyspute.ai aims to dismantle one of the most significant barriers in dispute resolution: logistics. The platform promises a more efficient and accessible alternative for individuals and businesses entangled in conflicts.

“Mediation is one of the most effective ways to resolve disputes, yet for far too many people and organizations, access is limited by time, cost, and logistics,” said Renee Jackson, Founder and CEO of Dyspute.ai, in the company's announcement. “With the launch of Adri V2, we’re introducing an AI Mediator that’s available 24/7 and designed to keep disputes moving forward without calendars, conference rooms, or prolonged posturing. This isn’t about using AI to replicate traditional mediation—it’s about rethinking the process itself so that fair, efficient resolution is accessible to far more people than ever before.”

A New Model for Mediation

Adri V2 operates on an asynchronous, notification-based model. Parties engage with the AI mediator on their own time, responding to prompts and reviewing proposals when convenient. The process begins with an adaptive intake chat, where Adri asks customized questions to understand the nuances of the conflict. After each party has provided their perspective, Adri generates the initial settlement proposal, a feature designed to bypass the common “gamesmanship” of waiting for the other side to make the first move.

From there, parties enter rounds of negotiation within a secure virtual mediation room. In each round, they can vote on Adri's proposals, provide confidential feedback to the AI, or use an AI-assisted tool to craft and exchange direct offers. The platform tracks proposal history, shared documents, and all communication, culminating in an in-platform system for finalizing settlement agreements and processing payments securely via Stripe.

This approach sets Dyspute.ai apart in a growing field of AI-driven legal tech. While other platforms like Bot Mediation facilitate synchronous virtual mediations or, like NexLaw.ai, offer AI tools to assist human lawyers, Adri V2’s persona-driven, fully asynchronous model represents a more radical departure from the norm. It aims not just to augment the process, but to automate and manage it end-to-end.

Democratizing Dispute Resolution

The potential impact of this technology extends beyond mere convenience. With the global mediation market valued at over $7 billion and a total addressable market for accessible legal solutions estimated to be even larger, there is a significant demand for alternatives to costly and time-consuming litigation. By automating the mediation process, Adri V2 seeks to drastically lower the financial barrier to entry.

This could prove particularly transformative for small businesses and individuals facing disputes that, while significant to them, may not justify the expense of traditional legal counsel and mediation fees. The platform is built for scale, offering case management dashboards for enterprise clients and existing mediation providers who may wish to add an AI-led tier to their services. Early testers have reportedly praised the system’s ability to accelerate negotiations, with one mediator describing it as “something I’d want in my pocket all the time.”

Proactive Resolution Embedded in Contracts

Perhaps the most forward-looking aspect of Dyspute.ai’s strategy is its move to embed AI mediation into the very fabric of business agreements. The company announced key partnerships with 9to5 Docs, a provider of startup legal agreements, and New Era ADR, a modern arbitration service.

Through the partnership, Dyspute.ai becomes the default first step for dispute resolution in 9to5 Docs’ contracts. If a conflict arises, the parties are contractually obligated to first attempt mediation through the Adri platform. If a settlement isn't reached, the case is automatically escalated to arbitration with New Era ADR. This creates a clear, predictable, and streamlined pathway for resolving conflicts before they can escalate into protracted legal battles.

“Most contracts still push parties toward court or legacy arbitration models that are slow, expensive, and disconnected from how modern businesses operate,” explained Marla Miller, Founder & CEO at 9to5 Docs. “By integrating AI-led mediation as the first step in our contracts, our partnership with Dyspute.ai creates a smarter, more efficient resolution pathway.”

This proactive approach signals a shift from reactive dispute resolution to integrated conflict management, a concept gaining traction among startups and modern businesses that prioritize efficiency and predictability.

The Human Element and the Limits of AI

Despite the promise of efficiency and accessibility, the rise of AI mediators is not without its critics and concerns. Legal experts and ethicists caution that while AI can capably handle routine, low-stakes disputes, it lacks the nuanced understanding required for more complex and emotionally charged cases.

A primary concern is inherent bias. AI systems learn from data, and if that data reflects historical biases, the AI’s proposals could inadvertently perpetuate unfair outcomes. “An algorithm can't read the room or understand the deep-seated emotional drivers behind a conflict,” commented one legal scholar specializing in AI ethics. “For disputes involving family matters, workplace harassment, or intricate commercial disagreements, human empathy and creative, outside-the-box problem-solving are often irreplaceable.”

Furthermore, questions remain about legal enforceability, data privacy, and accountability when an AI facilitates a binding agreement. While platforms like Adri V2 are designed to produce legally sound documents, the legal and regulatory frameworks governing pure AI mediation are still in their infancy. The industry consensus seems to be forming around a hybrid model, where AI serves as a powerful tool to assist human mediators, handling data analysis and administrative tasks, rather than replacing them entirely.

As Adri V2 goes live, its adoption will serve as a crucial test case for the legal industry's willingness to embrace fully automated resolution. The platform is now available, and Dyspute.ai is encouraging early adopters to join a pilot program to provide feedback, signaling that the evolution of the AI mediator is just beginning.
