What are Assistants?

Assistants are specialized AI tools you configure for specific tasks. Think of them as customized versions of Libra that already know your instructions, preferred output format, and relevant background documents.
An assistant combines three elements that work together:
ElementPurpose
InstructionsDefine what the assistant does and how it responds
KnowledgeDocuments the assistant can reference (optional)
ConfigurationSettings like output format and behavior
When you use an assistant, it applies these elements automatically to your request. Instead of typing detailed instructions every time you perform a recurring task, you configure those instructions once and reuse them whenever needed.

Common Use Cases

Assistants work well for tasks that are recurring, structured, and require specific expertise:
Use CaseWhat the Assistant Does
Contract ReviewAnalyzes agreements against a standard checklist, flags risks, and outputs findings in a consistent format
Document DraftingGenerates first drafts using your templates, formatting rules, and standard clauses
Legal ResearchSearches specific areas of law with pre-configured jurisdictions and source preferences
Due DiligenceExtracts key information from documents using predefined criteria
Client IntakeProcesses intake forms and summarizes relevant information for case setup
Compliance ReviewChecks documents against regulatory requirements and internal policies
