How Does This Fit My Current Workflow?

That clause you spent 20 minutes hunting for? This lesson shows you how to find it in under a minute—with a citation that takes you straight to the page.

What Legal AI Assistant does

Legal AI Assistant reads documents already in NetDocuments and answers questions about them in plain language. Ask a question, and it returns a structured response with citations that link straight back to where the information was found.

Your documents are already there

There's no uploading, your documents are already inNetDocuments. Open a document the way you always do. The difference is now you can ask a question instead of reading through the whole thing manually. Nothing about your workflow changes.

Try it yourself

Ask your first question

The fastest way to see how Legal AI Assistant fits your work is to test it on a real task, something you're working on right now. Add a document from an active matter into the assistant, then copy and paste the prompt below.

Read the answer, check citations

You get a direct, structured answer. The response identifies the specific information you asked for and links citations back to the exact location in your document. If something doesn't look right, the citation takes you there in one click.

Important!

You only see documents you already have access to

Legal AI Assistant respects your NetDocuments permissions and can only read documents your account can open. If a colleague gets a different answer on the same document, it may be because they have access to a different version.

Start small, then go bigger

The best first session is one real task you'd normally do manually. Let the Assistant handle it and check the citations. Once you've seen it work on something that matters, the second and third tasks follow naturally.

Responses vary by design, not by bug

Legal AI Assistant constructs each response dynamically. Ask the same question twice and you may see different phrasing or emphasis. Use the citations to verify the answer against the source document.
