Paralegals spend too much time digging through files.
Legal teams lose hours searching through PDFs, medical records, contracts, pleadings, emails, and matter notes. The Paralegal Agent gives legal teams a faster way to ask questions across firm documents and get grounded answers with source context.
The old way is slow and easy to miss.
- Summaries take too long when files are large.
- Evidence is easy to miss when details are spread across documents.
- Attorneys need fast answers, but paralegals still need accuracy.
- Generic AI tools do not understand matter files, firm context, or legal workflows.
A document-first assistant for everyday legal work.
The Paralegal Agent is designed for fast, practical, document-heavy work inside a law firm. It helps paralegals and attorneys understand files, retrieve details, summarize evidence, and prepare first drafts.

- Retrieve relevant passages before generating an answer.
- Show the documents and passages used in the response.
- Help users move from answer to original source quickly.

Every answer should lead back to the file.
The Paralegal Agent is designed to reduce unsupported answers by showing the documents and passages used to generate a response. Legal teams can quickly inspect the source, confirm the detail, and continue working.
Answers are described as source-backed and grounded in retrieved documents. Attorneys and firm staff should review source material before relying on any output.
From file review to first draft.
After reviewing the relevant documents, the Paralegal Agent can help prepare first drafts for attorney review.
- Discovery response drafts
- Internal case summaries
- Medical chronology summaries
- Client update emails
- Demand package notes
- Contract issue summaries
- Deposition summaries
- Task lists and follow-up notes
The Paralegal Agent supports drafting, but attorneys and authorized firm staff should review all work before it is sent, filed, or relied on.
“Plaintiff objects to this request to the extent it seeks information protected by attorney-client privilege. Subject to that objection, Plaintiff responds as follows: see attached medical records, Exhibit A and B, Bates numbered…”
Search by matter, document, topic, or question.
Legal teams should not have to remember every file name. The Paralegal Agent can help search across matter documents, notes, and timelines when connected and permissioned.
“…history of lower back pain…”
“…prior back condition was…”
“…reported ongoing back issues…”
Pick up where the file review left off.
Every conversation can be saved, titled, reopened, and shared with the right team members. Paralegals can continue a document review across days and send useful threads to attorneys for review.
