NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenWitness today announced the official launch of the first AI-powered deposition and testimony simulation platform, designed to help attorneys transform anxious clients into confident, credible witnesses before deposition or trial.
Developed by attorney Tom Ciccotta, ZenWitness was originally built to prepare his own personal injury clients for deposition. The platform has since evolved into a first-of-its-kind legal technology tool that uses AI voice simulations to recreate real-world questioning, allowing witnesses to practice, receive performance feedback, and improve clarity and composure before testifying.
“I created ZenWitness because no traditional prep method could truly simulate the pressure and pacing of a real deposition,” said Tom Ciccotta, founder of ZenWitness. “Now, lawyers can let clients practice with realistic AI questioning and get detailed, data-driven reports to ensure they’re ready.”
A First-of-Its-Kind Innovation in Legal Tech
ZenWitness is the only platform on the market focused exclusively on AI-powered witness preparation. While most legal tech tools focus on case management or document automation, ZenWitness tackles one of the most critical — and often neglected — parts of litigation: preparing the human being who takes the stand.
Using advanced analysis, the platform evaluates confidence, tone, pacing, and clarity to provide both attorneys and clients with objective feedback. Lawyers can then review detailed performance reports and run new simulations until their client demonstrates full readiness.
Key Features
AI Testimony Simulation: Realistic questioning modeled on deposition and courtroom conditions.
Performance Feedback Reports: Tracks clarity, tone, hesitation, and overall witness confidence.
Attorney Review Dashboard: Lets lawyers review simulations and identify areas for improvement.
Audio-Based Training (Phase 1): Witnesses can practice anytime, anywhere via voice interface.
Video & Expression Analysis (Coming Soon): Next-generation release will evaluate facial expressions and body language for deeper behavioral insight.
ZenWitness helps law firms save time on preparation, reduce client anxiety, and improve case outcomes through more consistent, credible testimony.
“Our goal is simple: no witness should walk into a deposition or trial unprepared,” Ciccotta added. “ZenWitness makes that possible through technology designed by lawyers, for lawyers.”
