Watch Smart Answers Find Your Documents

How it works

Smart Answers searches your cabinet for documents that match the criteria in your question, reads those documents, then combines the information into a clear, structured response. The response includes citations showing which documents were used.

You don’t need to select any documents. Open Legal AI Assistant, ensure “Search NetDocuments” is checked, then ask your question.

Try it yourself

Ask a question

Think of a question you’d normally answer by manually digging through documents Instead, ask the Assistant by copying and pasting a prompt from above, or by writing your own.

Read the answer, check citations

You get a response identifying the specific information you asked for, along with citations linking back to the exact location in your document. Then verify your answers, the citation takes you there in one click.

When to use it

Identify documents that mention the Riverton Expansion Project and provide a detailed summary of the key updates across the documents.

Find multiple examples of how sports endorsement agreements handle fees for late payments.

PROMPT Identify documents that mention [client name] and provide a detailed summary of the recent key issues and updates across the documents.

Tips for Better Searches:

Name specifics the AI can search on. "Documents that mention the Riverton Expansion Project" works because it gives Smart Answers something concrete to match against; "recent project documents" doesn't.
Say what kind of answer you want, not just the topic. "Provide a detailed summary of key updates" tells Smart Answers to synthesize, not just list matches.
If you're not getting what you expected, narrow it. A client name plus a specific issue or date range will surface more relevant documents than a broad ask across everything you have access to.
