How PLX and CoAnalyst Work Together to Simplify Digital Investigations 

Date Posted: May 01st, 2025

Law enforcement and investigative professionals handle overwhelming amounts of digital evidence—from call detail records to social media data, financial transactions, and mobile forensics. Manually sifting through this data is time-consuming and prone to human error. This is where PLX and CoAnalyst come in, offering a seamless AI-powered solution that simplifies digital investigations, improves efficiency, and enhances case outcomes.

By integrating PLX’s powerful data management with CoAnalyst’s AI-driven intelligence, investigators can quickly process, analyze, and extract meaningful insights from massive data sets. Here’s how these two tools work together to transform digital investigations.

The Power of PLX: Centralized Data Management

PLX is designed to ingest, normalize, and analyze vast amounts of structured and unstructured digital evidence. Investigators rely on PLX to:

• Aggregate and Normalize Data
  Automatically ingest data from over 1,000 providers, including mobile carriers, social media platforms, and financial institutions.
  Normalize time zones and standardize data formats for easy analysis.
  
  
• Conduct Cross-Source Analysis
  Combine call detail records (CDRs), social media data, forensic extractions, and OSINT in a single investigative platform.
  Identify connections between suspects, locations, and events across multiple data sources.
  
  
• Enhance Collaboration
  Store and share case data securely, allowing multiple investigators to collaborate in real time.
  Generate comprehensive reports for legal teams, prosecutors, and command staff.

The Role of CoAnalyst: AI-Driven Investigative Intelligence

While PLX efficiently manages and organizes digital evidence, CoAnalyst applies AI and natural language processing (NLP) to uncover insights faster than traditional manual review methods.

• AI-Powered Search & Analysis
  Investigators can ask CoAnalyst natural language questions like “Are there any financial transactions over $10,000?” or “List all communication between these two suspects.”
  AI understands context, corrects misspellings, and processes vast amounts of data instantly.
  
  
• Automated Pattern Recognition
  Identifies trends, anomalies, and red flags within case data, such as unusual phone activity, geolocation patterns, or financial irregularities.
  Flags high-risk interactions, helping investigators prioritize leads.
  
  
• Effortless Data Visualization & Reporting
  Converts raw data into charts, timelines, and link diagrams, making complex investigations easier to understand.
  Automates the creation of court-admissible reports, saving investigators hours of manual work.
