Legal document assistant

An answer in 30 seconds

Finding information in the internal document base, memo, practice note, procedure or template, takes up a significant share of lawyers' time. The same questions keep coming back, the answer depends on whether two or three experts are available, and the knowledge stays concentrated with them.

Frequently asked questions: Legal document assistant

All common formats: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, intranet pages, internal wikis, existing FAQs and structured knowledge bases.

The assistant answers only from the indexed documents. When information is missing from the base, it says so explicitly and points to the right expert. Every answer cites its sources, so checking is immediate.

Around 55% of everyday questions are answered without an expert, provided the document base is kept up to date. The remaining questions call for human analysis, and the assistant routes them to the right person with the context already gathered.

A permissions system restricts each user to the documents they are authorised to see, in line with your confidentiality levels.

Yes, the assistant integrates with your collaboration tools (Teams, Slack, intranet) or is available through a dedicated web interface.
